• Develop and help distribute timely internal and external communications, including newsletters, alerts, memos, emails, scripts, training materials, and other written communication products.
• Gather and organize feedback from WTCHP staff, members, providers, partners, and other stakeholders to improve communication products, processes, and tools.

• Provide training and support to WTCHP staff on the use and management of communication systems and tools.
• Assist with the development of branding materials and support outreach campaigns and stakeholder engagement activities.
• Monitor, collect data, and help analyze communication effectiveness, adjusting strategies as needed to improve outreach and stakeholder understanding.

What you need to succeed:

• Bachelor's degree in Communications, Public Health, Health Informatics, Information Systems, or related field.
• 2+ years of experience supporting communication efforts for health programs, preferably within federally funded health initiatives or CDC-supported programs.
• Experience with communication tools, content management systems (CMS), and portal configuration.
• Familiarity with federal health communication standards, privacy requirements, and CDC guidelines.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills tailored to diverse audiences, including enrollees, healthcare providers, and federal partners.
• Experience developing and implementing communication plans, outreach campaigns, and stakeholder engagement strategies.
• Ability to troubleshoot and resolve configuration issues in communication platforms.
• Project management skills to coordinate multiple communication initiatives and system updates simultaneously.
• Attention to detail, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and consistency across all communication materials.
• Ability to work collaboratively with IT, Program staff, and external vendors.
