Work with us
Consultant (Part-time/remote)
This is who we are:
PSC Consulting is a strategic communications consultancy that enables growing healthcare companies find their voice and tell their story.
This is what we do:
We work with start-up and emerging healthcare companies to build communication capabilities. Our clients know they need to communicate with their key audiences, but they do not have the skills and expertise in-house. PSC Consulting works as a fractional communications team to provide counsel and build communications capabilities for companies.
This is how we do it:
We are a hands-on team. We don’t just advise. We do. Communications agencies are set up to take on projects and extend the reach of in-house communications teams. But we are different. Our clients don’t have a communications background or staff. So we help them understand what they need and then we help them do it. When we recommend a strategy, we execute the plan. That means we need to be strategic, but we need to be able to deliver and help our clients understand how to do it. As a fractional team, we own our projects. Our clients rely on our expertise, expect us to know what we are doing and guide them. We are nimble. In a start-up environment, priorities change, budgets can be tight and being efficient and effective matters.
Our strength lies in how we go deep with our clients. We take the time to understand their business models, their challenges and their opportunities. We define success in terms that align with their business goals. We deliver because we don’t keep an arms distance. We know what our clients are trying to accomplish and that guides us every day.
Our core values:
Intellectual Curiosity
Courage
Results-Oriented
Integrity
Details about the position:
Who you are:
You have a background in healthcare communications (5-7 years of experience) and are looking to work part-time and remotely. You have previously worked at an agency, a healthcare non-profit, a pharmaceutical company or a health system. You have hands-on experience in healthcare communications and public relations.
Doing interesting work and solving problems excites you. You are passionate about the details and are energized by doing different projects that may require different approaches.
You are able to see what needs to get done, prioritize tasks to get your work done efficiently and on time.
You are comfortable being on a small team reporting directly to the CEO, doing quality work for clients.
You have a sharp eye and a quick mind that sees ways to solve challenges and deliver results. Part of our success is our ability to be flexible. You don’t get flustered easily.
You like variety. One day you can be developing a plan to communicate something scientific in a narrow therapeutic area. The next day you can be drafting social media posts on a public health area that impacts many.
You are a quick learner who likes to take the ball and run. You are also good at working with a few moving plates to get from start to completion.
You believe in the pursuit of excellence. Not just getting something done but rising to the occasion and bringing your best to each interaction you have with the team.
You value the team. Everyone contributes but the team succeeds.
You are looking for a place that values your contribution and wants you to be your best.
What you'll be doing:
Communications and Public Relations
Work with the CEO to develop communication plans for clients. This can include launch plans, ongoing communication plans, announcing new data, issues management or communicating complex information to target audiences.
Manage execution of plans and projects from inception to completion. You will roll up your sleeves and bring the plans to life.
Maintain websites for clients and occasionally update content. Knowing how to navigate WordPress is a plus.
Create content for social media accounts. You will plan out calendars, write posts and program content releases.
Write press releases, blogs and other content. This will require strong writing, strategic thinking and a deep understanding of clients’ messages and goals.
Be comfortable working in marketing automation tools, such as MailChimp, ConvertKit or Hubspot (depending on the project)
Why you should be interested in this role:
This role is an integral part of our small business. Without you and your bright light, we can’t successfully serve our clients.
You will have the opportunity to learn every day. You may learn about communications strategies, growing a business or science that can save lives. And you will have the opportunity to apply each learning to your next project. If constantly challenging yourself is exciting, this is where you need to be.
You will be helping the CEO make sure that all the moving pieces of serving our clients move forward smoothly. We want you to be able to take ownership of your duties. We want you to be able to make a plan and follow it through.
Young healthcare companies have so much promise and need help fulfilling their vision. You'll be working hand in hand with the CEO to help our small business serve the needs of growing, healthcare companies to provide value and grow our footprint.
Bottom Line:
If you are self-inspired, value quality work, love healthcare and communications and want flexibility in a role while still learning and growing, you could be who we have been searching for.
PSC Consulting encourages individuals of all learning styles, ethnic, racial, and socioeconomic backgrounds, including those whose life experiences may include the challenge of access due to a disability, to apply for this position. We are committed to maximizing the diversity of our organization, as we want to engage all those who can contribute to supporting this work.
