Exercise Physiologist

About Ansible Health

Ansible Health brings together clinicians, engineers, and healthcare leaders who share the goal of improving care delivery for people living with chronic illness. The organization combines clinical expertise from leading medical institutions with experience from major technology companies to provide personalized care efficiently and at scale.

Role Overview

The team is hiring an Exercise Physiologist to support its virtual cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation program. In this position, you will guide telemedicine-based exercise sessions for patients with chronic heart and lung conditions, including congestive heart failure and COPD, as well as individuals with multiple comorbidities. The patient base is medically complex, often older, and may face repeated hospitalizations and psychosocial barriers. The role calls for someone who can safely support special populations with encouragement, empathy, and a patient-first mindset that helps people build confidence and make lasting lifestyle changes.

What the Team Is Looking For

The ideal candidate is compassionate, inventive, and highly committed to patient care. You should be comfortable challenging outdated approaches, leading safe group exercise sessions online, and contributing to a rehabilitation model that rethinks traditional cardiac and pulmonary care. A strong fit will also be curious, self-motivated, and eager to learn, with a habit of asking questions, exploring medical concepts deeply, and collaborating openly with teammates.

Key Responsibilities

You will lead several telehealth group exercise sessions each day for cardiac and pulmonary patients, demonstrating correct movement, posture, and body mechanics while offering personalized adjustments to keep participants safe. You will track vital signs and perceived exertion or dyspnea to identify distress or exercise intolerance, using clinical judgment to change, pause, or stop activity when needed. You will also independently assess concerns, triage urgent issues, and escalate them to the appropriate provider.

In addition, you will educate patients and groups on disease management, medications, preventive care, smoking cessation, and related wellness topics. You will work closely with a multidisciplinary care team and maintain communication with primary care clinicians, specialists, and outside agencies. Part of the role also includes advocating for patients facing social barriers by helping connect them to community resources for medications, transportation, nutritious food, and safe housing. You will serve as a dependable contact for patients and families, offering education, advocacy, and support that strengthens self-management skills.

Qualifications

You should hold at least a bachelor’s degree in exercise physiology, exercise science, kinesiology, or a related discipline, and you must be certified in Basic Life Support. ACSM Certified Clinical Exercise Physiologist credentials are required, or you must be able to earn them within one year of joining. Any additional state or regional licenses needed for telemedicine practice are preferred, and a Group Fitness Instructor Certification is a plus. Ongoing certification maintenance and continuing education are expected throughout employment.

The role calls for at least 2 years of clinical experience in cardiac and/or pulmonary rehabilitation, with direct work in high-risk, medically complex populations. Experience leading group exercise classes with diverse participants is also required, and exposure to telemedicine or digital health programs is considered an advantage.

From a technical and interpersonal standpoint, you should be comfortable using telemedicine platforms and digital tools for education and patient management. Strong written and verbal communication, solid analytical and problem-solving ability, and the capacity to coordinate care across multiple disciplines are important. The role also requires a commitment to continuous learning, an innovative attitude, and a reliable high-speed internet connection of at least 25 Mbps.

What You Can Expect

You will join a diverse and high-performing team working at the cutting edge of healthcare. The environment is demanding and fast-moving, with a substantial learning curve and a degree of structured chaos as the organization continues to innovate. The work can feel mission-driven and intense, but you will receive strong mentorship designed to help you develop your clinical skills and grow into the best version of yourself as a clinician.
