• Lead communications strategy and execution for priority CMH medical meetings — including ADA, EASD, ACC, and AHA — in partnership with Scientific Innovation, and other cross-functional comms partners.
• Develop materials including press releases, media backgrounders, data summaries, and HCP-facing content timed to scientific presentations.
• Issues management & media relations
• Anticipate and lead communications challenges related to on-market products — including pricing and access, competitive dynamics, compounding, and safety.

• Oversee on-market PR agency relationships, ensuring high-quality output and strategic alignment.
• Team & cross-functional collaboration
• Operate as an active and flexible member of the broader CMH Communications team and Global Corporate Communications team contributing to pipeline, internal, and enterprise projects as the workload demands.

• Bachelor's degree in Communications, Public Relations, Journalism, or a related field.
• 8+ years of communications experience with a strong background in consumer health, brand communications, and earned media.
