The Colorado Health Foundation is happy to announce the opening of a Senior Communications Officer (SCO). This role provides strategic oversight and management for key Foundation communications campaigns and projects that support our commitment to shifting public discourse around health equity and racial justice, including oversight of organizational convenings and other content-related efforts that maximize our primary communications channels. This role includes managing project teams and external consultants required to help achieve the greatest impact. The SCO will report to the senior director of communications and influence.
At the Foundation, we believe that keeping equity at the heart of our work will lead us to better health. That starts from within, including intentional application of diversity, equity and inclusion practices that guide how we operate and work in communities across Colorado. For example, our cornerstones are designed to help ensure that:
• We serve Coloradans who have less power, privilege and income, and prioritize Coloradans of color.
• We do everything with the intent of creating health equity.
• We are informed by the community and those we exist to serve.
Candidates will have a personal commitment and connection with our mission and cornerstones; work well in ambiguity and managing change; and proactively identify opportunities to advance our mission while remaining grounded in the day-to-day responsibilities. They will need to be able to apply principles of health equity and racial justice across all areas of their work, as well as integrate concepts of strategy formation and refinement, systems thinking, complexity, adaptive/emergent strategy, worldviews, and power.
