Job Description

We are seeking a skilled and adaptable Communications Specialist to support strategic communications within a health equity-focused team. This is a flexible contract opportunity ideal for a communications professional who can transform technical content into compelling materials for internal and external audiences.

The successful candidate will bring strong writing and messaging expertise, especially within a healthcare or social impact setting and the ability to work independently in a fully remote environment.

Roles and Responsibilities

  • Develop 5–6 strategic communication materials, including:

    • A clear, engaging summary of “What is Health Equity?” (e.g., one-pager, executive summary)

    • A best practice paper outlining the evolution and impact of a health equity office, to be shared with peer institutions

    • An outreach strategy for a targeted grant initiative

    • Additional materials that synthesize key issues and progress updates

  • Collaborate with internal subject matter experts to translate existing content into polished communications
  • Ensure alignment with tone, messaging, and accessibility guidelines for both internal and external stakeholders
  • Create content that is sophisticated, clear, and action-oriented—ready for publication or distribution

Qualifications and Skills

  • Proven experience in communications, ideally within healthcare, research, or the non-profit sector
  • Strong writing and editing skills, with the ability to synthesize technical content into reader-friendly formats
  • Experience crafting messaging for both internal (staff, leadership) and external (public, partners) audiences
  • Familiarity with health equity or social determinants of health is a strong asset
  • Highly organized, self-motivated, and comfortable working remotely
  • Design experience not required, though ability to collaborate with designers is a plus
