The Health Manager will educate Health Program members, colleagues, and the public on environmental health impacts and advocate primarily on state-level policy, but certain initiatives also target institutional, local, regional, and national policies.

The Health Manager nurtures and stewards a well-informed, diverse group of medical and health professionals who effectively advocate for CANC’s healthy air and climate policy priorities and coordinate educational programming with our partners. This is accomplished by:
- Managing the Health Program membership by recruiting new members and engaging current members across the state.
- Managing the Health Advisory Board, including the board’s quarterly meetings.
- Analyzing, synthesizing, and disseminating new research regarding the health impacts of air pollution and climate and creating position statements for CANC’s priorities highlighting health impacts.
- Measuring the effectiveness of organizational activities and judging the significance of changes brought about by those activities across North Carolina.
- Working with our Policy Manager to write op-eds or letters to the editor to support advocacy activities from a health perspective.
- Reviewing EPA air quality standards and working with the Policy Program Manager to create comments, statements, and health alerts.
- Developing new and maintaining current partnerships with research institutions and advocacy organizations, and relationships with members of the media and policymakers.
- Leading the planning committee and coordinating the logistics for the annual day-long NC BREATHE conference, including identifying venues, developing agenda, coordinating the speakers, arranging the caterer, organizing the poster session, managing staff support, etc.
- Presenting at and attending events, conferences, and board meetings, including conducting the monthly air, climate, and health training with Duke Health and Atrium Health pediatric residents.
- Drafting content for communication platforms, e.g., blog posts, social media, action alerts, and a monthly e-Bulletin.
- Recruiting and supervising interns and volunteers.
- Participating in fundraising efforts and administrative tasks with other staff for general organizational support and support of the Health Program.
Qualifications
- Experience in developing, delivering, and evaluating educational health presentations.
- Experience in public health, environmental project management, event planning, and policy advocacy.
- Excellent networking, organizational, and written and verbal communication skills, and ability to present to diverse audiences, specifically racially, ethnically, and socioeconomically diverse communities.
- High level of comfort with technology including Microsoft Office, G Suite, Asana, and Zoom.
- Degree in health, environmental science, or related field or equivalent education and/or experience desired.
