With fewer C-sections and higher VBAC success rates, our research-backed approach is delivering better outcomes. Our team of trusted midwives, OBGYNs and dedicated care navigators ensure our patients get the type of care they need in the moments that matter most. Since launching in 2021, we’ve expanded our services to include Preconception and Miscarriage Care, Pregnancy Care, Hospital-Based Delivery, Postpartum Support, and Gynecology.

About The Role:
We’re looking for someone who’s ready to make a real difference in the lives of pregnant people and their families. As a Front Desk Associate at Oula, you’ll be the first warm welcome patients receive and a steady, reassuring presence throughout their visit. Your work will help shape moments that patients remember long after their pregnancy journey ends — moments of feeling seen, supported, and truly cared for.
At Oula, we’re building a new model of maternity care that blends modern midwifery, thoughtful obstetrics, and a deeply patient-centered approach. Joining our team means becoming part of a mission to bring compassion, clarity, and dignity to every interaction.
This role is so much more than checking patients in and out. You’ll be a key part of creating a seamless, meaningful experience — keeping our clinics running smoothly, helping patients feel comfortable and informed, and contributing to the supportive atmosphere that makes Oula special. It’s the perfect stepping stone for someone excited to start their career in women’s health or grow within a mission-driven organization. And with three of our four current clinic managers promoted from within in the past 18 months, Oula is truly a place where your growth can flourish.
This is a full-time, in-person role at our beautiful new Norwalk, CT clinic, where you’ll join a collaborative, kind, and passionate team dedicated to redefining what maternity care can feel like.
