About you

You’re an experienced manager with a passion for clear communication with staff and stakeholders. You achieve results for your clients through effective, efficient, and equitable leadership. You have experience guiding teams to plan, implement, and evaluate complex health communication products — delivering successful outcomes on time and in budget. You effectively align decision makers on a shared vision in order to create products that follow best practices in equity-centered health communication. You set others up for success by assigning tasks with clear expectations and providing support and guidance along the way. You enjoy working collaboratively, are skilled in giving and receiving feedback, and are excited to provide performance management and mentorship for a diverse team. The most competitive candidates will have experience managing Federal government contracts of at least $1 million and supporting technical approach and pricing strategy for proposals.
