• 10+ years in public relations, media relations, or corporate communications, including at least three years leading a function, an agency account of scale, or a major program.
• Demonstrated results securing high-value national business, healthcare trade, and technology coverage, with a track record of personally developing, pitching, or directing successful stories.
• Experience in healthcare, health technology, life sciences, or another highly regulated and technically complex industry.
• Proven crisis and issues management experience with direct exposure to legal and compliance review.
• Exceptional writing and editing under deadline, with a portfolio that ranges from a two-hundred-word statement to a full-length op-ed.
• Comfort operating in ambiguity across multiple brands, stakeholders, and geographies, with limited existing process to inherit.
• Experience communicating artificial intelligence or clinical technology to non-technical audiences.
• A background in journalism, or experience inside a private-equity-backed or high-growth organization.
• Familiarity with physician-led, multi-site, federated, or multi-practice organizations.
