Job Description

Communications Manager developing content and managing external press strategies for a digital health company. Requires extensive experience in healthcare communications and media relations.

Responsibilities:

  • Collaborate with the department lead on Pear Suite's external press strategy.
  • Own the cross-channel content calendar — webinars, blog, thought leadership, infographics, video, and social — and keep it moving as a strong project manager would.
  • Build, maintain, and activate a network of health-tech, healthcare, and policy reporters; pitch stories and land earned-media placements.
  • Develop story angles that connect Pear Suite's work to Medicare, Medicaid, Medi-Cal, social drivers of health, value-based care, and the broader healthcare policy conversation.
  • Brief executives — including the CEO and CTO — for interviews, podcasts, panels, keynotes, and high-stakes media moments.
  • Manage the awards and speaking-application pipeline (industry honors, conferences, RFPs); identify, write, and submit applications.
  • Collaborate with our PR firm to write and edit press releases, executive bylines, op-eds, statements, and responses to inbound press inquiries.
  • Coordinate the production of webinars, video production, infographics, and long-form thought leadership with internal subject-matter experts and external partners.
  • Track and report on earned-media coverage, share of voice, message penetration, and other communications KPIs.
  • Serve as a steward of Pear Suite's voice, brand, and narrative across every channel.

Requirements:

  • 6+ years of experience in communications, public relations, journalism, or policy communications, with at least 5 years in healthcare, health tech, or healthcare policy.
  • Experience at a healthcare PR/comms agency, a health policy organization, a health plan, or a health-tech startup.
  • Strong background in healthcare policy with working knowledge of Medicare, Medicaid, and Medi-Cal — you can speak fluently to value-based care, social drivers of health, managed-care dynamics, and CMS rule-making.
  • Active, current network of health-tech, healthcare, and policy reporters — and a track record of converting that network into placements.
  • Sharp story instincts. You can read a news cycle and find Pear Suite's place in it.
  • Excellent writer and editor across formats: press releases, executive bylines, op-eds, talking points, and short-form social.
  • Experience briefing executives and supporting them through live media, podcasts, and on-the-record moments.
  • Proven ability to own a multi-channel content calendar end-to-end and deliver on deadline.
  • Strong project-management instincts; comfortable working autonomously in a remote, fast-moving environment.

Benefits:

  • A mission driven culture that values innovation, collaboration and growth
  • Equity: participation in an early-stage company
  • Fully Remote
  • Unlimited PTO
  • Comprehensive Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Health and Wellness Stipend
  • Tech Stipend
  • Co-working Stipend
  • Education and professional development allowance ($1,500 annually)
  • Home office setup stipend
