Senior Manager, Marketing and Communications (hybrid)
As Senior Manager, Marketing and Communications, initially managing two direct reports and building out a more robust marketing team, you’ll create, implement, and evaluate integrated marketing and communications initiatives. You’ll report to the Content and Creative Associate Director and play a key role in research and planning, content creation, omni-channel implementation, and analysis. Our portfolio includes promoting research funding opportunities, community engagement opportunities, and other ways for stakeholders to draw value from our research, including our annual meeting, online training resources, town halls, and webinars.
Your initial focus will be establishing email marketing and social media strategies and workflows (segmentation, drip campaigns, retargeting, content development, paid and organic advertising, etc.) to increase event participation and improve digital engagement across our nine stakeholder segments. We are seeing an increase in engagement every research funding cycle but want our marketing metrics to better reflect the size and interest of our audiences. With a robust archive of existing content and a team eager to embrace new ideas, you’ll have a solid foundation to build from, and your strategic vision will be well-supported.
Healthcare decisions are among the most critical we make in our lives, but there is a lack of evidence-based information available to patients and their caregivers about which healthcare options might yield the best outcomes for them, given their circumstances. The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI), the leading funder of patient-centered comparative clinical effectiveness research in the US, is dedicated to changing that. Research funded by PCORI concentrates on healthcare challenges confronting American families every day, including cancer, diabetes, maternal mortality, opioid use, mental health, and equitable access to care, among many others.
How You’ll Make an Impact
Patients deserve to know whether some approaches work better than others, and caregivers, clinicians, and all of our stakeholders also benefit from better information about different care options. You will drive digital marketing efforts to conceive and implement campaigns that broaden PCORI’s reach and increase engagement with stakeholders across all channels.
- Inspire research community members (in academic, clinical, and research institutions) to apply for research funding focused on outcomes that patients and other healthcare stakeholders tell us are important.
- Support our community engagement team in sharing how patients and caregivers can make a difference as equitable partners in the research process, leading to greater use and uptake of research results by patients and stakeholders within the healthcare community.
