The Business Initiative for Health Policy is seeking a full time Associate level communications professional. Applicants with campaign, nonprofit, and/or digital media experience are preferred.
If we are going to achieve a sustainable universal healthcare system in the US, this is a crucial to build understanding in the media, the general public, and among policymakers and politicians. This is a great time to join a growing organization in the Medicare for All movement!
The Business Initiative for Health Policy (BIHP) is an independent, non-partisan policy, public education and advocacy organization focused on advancing the business and economic rationale for adopting a Medicare for All system in the United States, the only developed nation without guaranteed universal healthcare.
BIHP believes that the current profit driven healthcare system poses an existential threat to American business, particularly small and mid-sized businesses, and that its continuation will ensure lower profits for business owners, less innovation and entrepreneurialism, depressed wages for millions of working Americans, and weakened international competitiveness.
BIHP further believes that adopting a Medicare for All, universal health care system is the only way to ensure a healthy citizenry which is both a basic building block of a stable and prosperous nation and an essential component of enduring competitive advantage in the global economy.
The salary range for this position is $40,000-50,000 annually, along with a generous benefits package.
