SUMMARY OF THE ROLE

We are seeking a capable and driven communications professional to join MOHH’s Strategic Communications and Marketing Division.

Operating within a high-visibility public healthcare environment, this role supports media relations, corporate reputation, and issues communications across internal divisions. The successful candidate will contribute to sensitive and time-critical matters, leadership communications, and strategic positioning work in a complex stakeholder landscape.

At the Executive/Senior Executive level, the role focuses on strong execution — drafting media materials, coordinating stakeholder inputs, and supporting issues management under guidance.

At the Assistant Manager level, the role carries greater ownership, including independently managing mid-tier issues across internal divisions, advising stakeholders on positioning considerations, and exercising sound judgment in escalation of higher-risk matters.

Level and scope will be commensurate with experience and demonstrated capability.

• Structured thinking and analytical capability, with the ability to distill complex matters into clear and coherent narratives
• Effective stakeholder management skills, including the confidence to engage internal divisions constructively and align on communications positioning
• For candidates considered at Assistant Manager level: demonstrated ability to independently manage sensitive matters, advise stakeholders on communications positioning, and exercise sound judgment and strong instincts in navigating ambiguity, assessing reputational implications, and determining appropriate escalation thresholds with minimal supervision
• Level and responsibilities will be commensurate with experience.
