Reporting to the Director of Community Wellness Centers, the Community Engagement Ambassador serves as a strategic leader and trusted representative of IEHP within the Inland Empire. This role is responsible for building, developing, and managing high-impact community partnerships, designing and executing innovative engagement strategies, and strengthening IEHP’s presence across diverse communities to support member retention, benefit awareness, and organizational priorities.

The Ambassador operates with a high degree of independence by initiating new ideas, creating localized engagement plans, and leveraging quality, member, and community insights to identify emerging needs, new Community-Based Organizations (CBOs), and key partners. This position collaborates closely with city officials, community leaders, providers, and cross-functional IEHP teams to co-develop events, training sessions, and initiatives that advance IEHP’s Mission, Vision, Values, and Live Well IE objectives.

The role requires exceptional relationship-building, strategic thinking, program execution, and the ability to exercise dotted-line leadership and guidance across both internal and external stakeholders.
