JOB DESCRIPTION SUMMARY
<br>
<br>
ABOUT THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF MEDICINE (NAM)
<br>
<br>
The National Academy of Medicine (NAM), established in 1970 under the name Institute of Medicine (IOM), is an independent organization of eminent professionals from diverse fields including health and medicine; the natural, social, and behavioral sciences; and beyond. With the authority of the 1863 Congressional Charter of the National Academy of Sciences requested and signed by President Abraham Lincoln, the NAM serves alongside the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering as adviser to the nation and the international community. The NAM&rsquo;s mission is to advance science, inform policy, and catalyze action to achieve human health, equity, and well-being.
<br>
<br>
ABOUT THE UNIT &ndash; NAM OFFICE OF COMMUNICATIONS
<br>
<br>
The NAM Office of Communications develops and executes communications strategies to support the Academy&rsquo;s strategic priorities and programs, including health system improvement, health workforce well-being, climate and health, mental health and substance use disorders, emerging science and technology, trust in health science, and beyond. The team manages the NAM&rsquo;s digital platforms and publications and uplifts the expertise of NAM members, fellows, scholars, and volunteers.
<br>
<br>
ABOUT THE POSITION
<br>
<br>
The Content Specialist, Storytelling and Social, reports to the Deputy Director of NAM Communications and serves as a hands-on point person for day-to-day digital content and social media planning and execution. In this role, the Content Specialist will work closely with the Deputy Director as a thought partner on newsroom and social strategy, helping shape priorities, series planning, and packaging approaches, while owning day-to-day implementation.
<br>
The Content Specialist sets the weekly content and social approach, runs the editorial and social calendars, and produces high-quality writing and platform-native social content that increases the visibility and impact of NAM programs and priorities. The role also builds efficient, AI-enabled workflows to improve speed, consistency, and repurposing while upholding NAM&rsquo;s standards for accuracy, tone, and trust.
<p></p><h2 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>Job Description:

</b></p><p></p><p><b>Storytelling &amp; Writing: </b>Serves as the day-to-day point person for NAM newsroom content (at least 3-4 pieces per month). Recommend story topics and angles, packaging approaches, and formats aligned to NAM priorities. Pitch, draft, and edit stories that elevate NAM priorities, programs, leadership, members, publications, events, and key initiatives. Translate complex health, science, and policy topics into clear, compelling content for educated general audiences. Establish and maintain repeatable newsroom formats and series that build audience expectation and consistency.

Own the NAM&rsquo;s social content calendar, including weekly planning, prioritization, and publishing, with a primary focus on LinkedIn and Instagram. Create and publish platform-native content (not just link promotion), including carousel copy, short-form scripts, series-based storytelling, and post variations tailored to each platform. Manage social operations end-to-end: scheduling, approvals, publishing, tagging strategy, and community management/moderation support in line with NAM tone and standards. Provide coaching and practical guidance to communications officers, program staff, and leaders to strengthen social amplification, including recommended post copy, key messages, visual guidance, and suggested posting windows.
</p><p></p><p><b>Planning and Project Management: </b>Maintain the newsroom editorial calendar and manage intake, prioritization, timelines, and review routing.

Coordinate with colleagues or vendors to produce simple supporting assets as needed (basic graphics, quote cards, short clips). Run a practical test-and-learn rhythm through small experiments that improve results over time without increasing workload dramatically.
</p><p></p><p><b>Team </b><b>Collaboration: </b>Serve as an active member of the NAM Office of Communications team, contributing to big-picture planning discussions, prioritization, and cross-channel campaigns. Collaborate across the communications team to support shared workflows, maintain coverage during peak periods, and ensure continuity of publishing. Provide surge support for high-visibility organizational moments and communications needs, such as the NAM Annual Meeting and other major events, including content development, social coverage, and rapid-turnaround publishing as needed. Take on additional responsibilities as needed as communications priorities evolve, in consultation with the Deputy Director of Communications.
</p><p></p><p><b>AI Tools Integration: </b>Work with Deputy Director of Communications to integrate AI tools into production process for newsroom and social content. Maintain a library of prompts, templates, and standard operating procedures for recurring formats and series (newsroom and social). Apply responsible-use standards: human review, fact verification, sensitivity checks, and adherence to NAM policies for confidentiality and accuracy.
</p><p></p><p><b>Analytics &amp; Reporting: </b>Track and report on performance for newsroom content and social channels using metrics that reflect NAM goals (meaningful engagement, saves/shares, partner amplification, audience growth, and message pull-through). Recommend monthly adjustments to content mix, posting practices, and formats based on performance insights.

Executive Administrative Assistant to CEO

<div><p>ECS is seeking a <b><i>Senior Program Manager</i></b> to work in our <b><i>Washington, DC - Hybrid </i></b>office. <b>Please Note:</b><b> This position is contingent upon contract award.</b></p>
<p>
</p><p>ECS is seeking a Senior Program Manager to serve as the overall program leader for the SEC's Infrastructure Support Services (ISS2) contract &mdash; one of the most high-profile IT infrastructure programs in the federal financial regulatory space. This is not a seat-warming PM role. The SEC is in the midst of a strategic transformation &mdash; accelerating cloud adoption, integrating AI and automation into operations, and modernizing a legacy IT environment that supports one of the most critical agencies in the federal government. You will be the single point of accountability for a 200+ person program delivering across data centers, network operations, end-user computing, cloud infrastructure, and emerging AI capabilities.</p>
<p>
As the Senior Program Manager, you own the contract's performance, its people, and its future. You will interface directly with senior SEC leadership and set the strategic direction for how ECS delivers and evolves this program. The SEC expects its support contractor to be a modernization partner &mdash; not just a service provider &mdash; and you will be the person who makes that vision real. You will drive the adoption of automation to reduce operational costs, champion AI-enabled service delivery, and ensure every team under your leadership is pushing the environment forward while maintaining the reliability and security the SEC demands.</p>
<p>
This role requires a leader who has successfully managed large-scale IT programs through transformation &mdash; someone who doesn't just manage scope, schedule, and budget, but who fundamentally improves how the program operates. You will be expected to bring innovative ideas, build a culture of continuous improvement, and hold your leadership team accountable for driving measurable modernization outcomes alongside traditional SLA performance.</p>
<p>
</p><p><i>General Description of Benefits</i></p>
Requirements:
<ul><li>10+ years of progressive experience managing large-scale IT infrastructure and operations programs, including at least 8 years managing programs with 200+ personnel</li>
<li>Demonstrated track record of leading a major IT program through a significant transformation or modernization &mdash; not just maintaining steady-state operations</li>
<li>Experience managing federal government service delivery contracts with direct government client interface at the executive level (CIO, Deputy CIO, or equivalent)</li>
<li>Proven ability to drive adoption of automation, cloud migration, or AI/ML initiatives within a large operational program</li>
<li>Strong financial management skills &mdash; P&amp;L ownership, EAC/ETC management, and demonstrated ability to improve program profitability while reinvesting in modernization</li>
<li>Experience managing multi-discipline technical teams spanning data center operations, network operations, end-user computing, cloud engineering, and service desk functions</li>
<li>Track record of measurably improving program performance &mdash; SLA achievement, customer satisfaction, incident reduction, or operational efficiency &mdash; through leadership and innovation</li>
<li>PMP certification required; ITIL Expert or Managing Professional strongly preferred</li>
<li>Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to present to C-suite and senior government leadership</li>
<li><b><i>Active Secret clearance or ability to obtain; U.S. citizenship required</i></b></li>
<li>
<p><b><i>Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Business Administration, Engineering, or related field. Master's degree strongly preferred. Equivalent combination of education and 15+ years of progressive program management experience accepted.</i></b></p></li><br>
