  • Provide reflection and feedback on existing rhythms, identifying gaps, opportunities to gather feedback, and improve the overall experience of communications for the clinical team

Who You Are

• 5+ years of experience in internal communications, strategic operations, or executive communications, ideally in a healthcare or clinical environment
