  • Communications Development :

  • Lead the creation of strategic communication plans supporting managed care negotiations, issues management, and stakeholder engagement.
  • Oversee message development, creative concepting, and asset production across paid, earned, owned, and internal channels.
  • Review and refine all materials for clarity, tone, and alignment with client and regulatory standards.
  • Collaborate closely with internal creative and media teams to ensure communications are data-informed and audience-targeted.
  • Team Development and Collaboration :

  • Develop junior team members, providing feedback and professional growth opportunities.
  • Collaborate across Unlock's Managed Care, Strategic Communications, and Analytics teams to develop best practices and enhance integrated client delivery.

  • Proficiency in analyzing data and metrics to inform strategy and measure impact.
