Join to apply for the Media Supervisor, Health role at Edelman

Edelman is a voice synonymous with trust, reimagining a future where the currency of communication is action. Our culture thrives on three promises: boldness is possibility, empathy is progress, and curiosity is momentum.

We are in relentless pursuit of an equitable and inspiring workplace that is respectful of all, reflects and represents the world in which we live, and fosters trust, collaboration and belonging.

Are you passionate about health communications and obsessed with the media landscape? Do you thrive on turning complex health stories into headlines? If so, Edelman Health is looking for a Media Supervisor to join our National Health Media Team (NHMT)—a powerhouse group of 50+ earned media experts across the country.

This is your opportunity to shape the narratives of some of the world’s leading healthcare brands by leveraging your media expertise, news instincts, and passion for storytelling. As part of our award-winning Editorial and Media Strategies team, you’ll work alongside former journalists and media specialists who bring newsroom thinking into every pitch, plan, and campaign.

What You’ll Do

• Serve as a day-to-day media lead across multiple healthcare accounts—developing, driving, and executing earned media strategies that span national, consumer health, trade, regional, and local media outlets
• Craft and deliver strategic media outreach plans that align with client business goals and integrated campaign objectives
• Proactively pitch to key journalists and secure meaningful media placements across print, broadcast, online, and emerging platforms
• Lead the development of core media materials including pitch letters, media lists, briefing documents, and coverage recaps
• Manage media events, interviews, and desk-side briefings from start to finish
• Supervise and mentor junior staff—providing thoughtful feedback, coaching, and accountability
• Build strong client relationships by providing sound counsel and clear communication
• Stay on top of media trends, public health conversations, and breaking news to identify proactive media opportunities
• Contribute to new business development by supporting media strategy development and presenting to prospective clients
• Collaborate across Edelman’s integrated teams (paid, creative, digital, strategy) to ensure a cohesive media approach
  
  
  

Basic Qualifications:

• Minimum of four years of communications experience, including at least two years focused primarily on earned media strategy and execution
• Bachelor’s degree in communications, journalism, public relations, or a related field
  
  
  

Preferred Qualifications:

• Deep knowledge of both traditional and emerging media platforms, with the ability to recommend integrated strategies
• Proven ability to lead day-to-day media efforts across multiple accounts or campaigns
• Experience managing health and wellness-related media campaigns, including product launches, informational interviews, and executive visibility
• Strong relationships with health and lifestyle media, including national, trade, and regional outlets
• Ability to develop timely, newsworthy story angles that align with media cycles and client goals
• Confident communicator who can manage client interactions, media relationships, and cross-functional collaboration
• Familiarity with the media logistics of spokesperson coordination, interview staffing (virtual and in-person), and post-interview follow-up
• Experience mentoring or supervising junior team members and managing project timelines and priorities
• A proactive mindset and a drive to stay “always on” with what’s trending in the health media space
