Burnout rarely announces itself. It shows up as someone skipping lunch three days in a row, or a team that's gone quiet on Slack in a way it used to be chatty. Catching that before it turns into someone quitting is most of this job. We're hiring a
Remote Workplace Wellness Advisor, salary $70,506 a year, fully remote.
What the role actually involves
You're supporting people through the specific strain that comes with remote work — isolation, blurred boundaries between home and job, meetings that never seem to end. Some of that's structured programming. A lot of it is smaller and more direct: a check-in that catches someone before they slide further into burnout, a suggestion that actually changes how a team runs its week.
- Design and run wellness programs tailored to remote work challenges
- Provide one-on-one stress management and work-life balance coaching
- Lead virtual mindfulness or resilience sessions for individuals and teams
- Partner with leadership to shape corporate wellness initiatives from the ground up
- Track how well wellness programs are actually landing, and adjust when they're not
- Support employee assistance program awareness and connect people to the right resources
Some days are quiet — prep work, planning a session, reviewing how a program's tracking. Other days are back-to-back conversations, and by the end of them you're the one who needs a break.
What gets you hired
Minimum education is a
Bachelor's degree — something in psychology, health sciences, or organizational behavior tends to translate best, though we've seen people come at this from HR backgrounds too. Beyond that, we're looking for at least
2 years of experience in workplace wellness, coaching, or a closely related role.
- Comfort leading both one-on-one conversations and group sessions
- Working understanding of employee assistance programs and how people actually use them
- Ability to make occupational health concepts practical rather than abstract
- Genuine curiosity about digital wellness tools and willingness to try new ones
Also useful
- Background in resilience training or stress management coaching specifically
- Experience designing wellness programming for distributed or remote teams
- Certification in a relevant coaching or wellness discipline
What it actually looks like week to week
One morning might go toward building out a new digital wellness resource. That afternoon, a one-on-one with someone trying to set better boundaries around their workday. Later in the week, a short session with leadership about a resilience program for a team that's been under pressure for months. None of it repeats in exactly the same pattern, which is part of what makes the role harder to plan around — and also part of what keeps it from feeling routine.
How this shows up in the culture
A small change — adding a genuine break between back-to-back calls, running a short mindfulness session twice a week instead of one long one monthly — tends to matter more than a sweeping new program nobody asked for. The work here leans toward practical and specific rather than ambitious for its own sake. If you've been looking at wellness roles on Naukri Mitra, you've probably noticed that many postings promise "holistic wellbeing" without describing what that actually means day-to-day — here, it means the small interventions people actually use, not a wellness dashboard nobody opens.
Pay and benefits
- $70,506 annual salary
- Fully remote with flexible scheduling
- Access to ongoing training in occupational health and wellness strategy
- Collaboration with wellness professionals across different specialties
- Support for relevant certifications
What working well here looks like
Programs people actually stick with instead of trying once and forgetting. Leaders who come to you before rolling out a wellness initiative, not after it's already failed. Feedback that's specific — someone telling you a session actually helped them sleep better, not just a survey score that says things are fine. Those are the signals that the work is landing.
Who tends to do well in this seat?
People who listen before they suggest a fix. People who notice a pattern in what several people are quietly struggling with, rather than waiting for someone to say it outright. Empathy matters, but so does follow-through — a good conversation that never leads to actual change isn't enough here.
Applying
Send your resume along with a short note on a wellness initiative or coaching relationship you're proud of — what shifted, and how you knew it actually helped. That tells us more than a list of certifications.
This position is open to remote applicants worldwide, including the United States, India, and other eligible regions.
