This position ensures cohesive brand alignment across the enterprise, directly supports community engagement efforts, and plays a key leadership role in shaping how CINQCARE shows up during periods of rapid growth and transformation.

Key Responsibilities

• Evolve CINQCARE’s messaging framework and positioning, ensuring clear, consistent, audience‑specific communication across providers, payors, Family Members, and internal teams.

Draft, pitch, and place top‑tier press releases, bylined articles, and speaking opportunities, while managing ongoing relationships with media, analysts, and key influencers.
• Lead and consult on all community relations and reputation building efforts to ensure CINQCARE maintains credibility and trust across the markets we serve. Serve as on‑call spokesperson when needed to protect and advance CINQCARE’s reputation.
• Plan and manage paid media campaigns and advertising investments, ensuring message consistency, brand integrity, and measurable ROI.
• Own CINQCARE’s enterprise brand governance, ensuring all functions and markets consistently apply brand standards and deliver a unified experience.
• Develop and manage an enterprise communications calendar aligned to clinical launches, community activations, and executive moments—executing with precision across teams.
• Drive internal communications strategy to align employees with CINQCARE’s mission, strengthen culture, and support executive visibility.
