Senior Associate - Liability & Excess Coverage

D&A Communications

<b>Location:</b> San Francisco, CA/Remote
<br><br>
Overview
<br><br>
As a Senior Communications Associate, you will help shape and implement culturally inclusive communications strategies that engage diverse communities and elevate underrepresented voices. From branding and messaging to multilingual outreach and public engagement, you’ll support public and private sector projects that advance equity, build trust, and foster meaningful connections. This role is ideal for a collaborative, equity-driven communicator with a passion for community impact.
<br><br>
This position is located in San Francisco, CA and is a hybrid role.
<br><br>
Who We Are
<br><br>
D&A Communications is a San Francisco–based, equity-first agency with nearly 30 years of experience advancing inclusive, community-centered strategies. We are culturally fluent storytellers who integrate public relations, creative services, and public engagement to deliver transformative communication programs for clients in both the public and private sectors—including government agencies, nonprofits, and mission-driven companies.
<br><br>
Our work focuses on meeting people where they are—developing strategies that reflect community voices and promote equitable outcomes. From expanding transportation access and affordable housing, to raising awareness about environmental resilience, to healthcare access and educational equity, we address the barriers impacting low-income residents and communities of color.
<br><br>
With deep cultural competency and a strong understanding of diverse social landscapes, we specialize in social impact sectors such as healthcare, housing, transportation, and education. Partnering with government agencies, Community-Based Organizations (CBOs), and socially responsible companies, we design inclusive, community-centered campaigns that foster trust, build lasting connections, and drive meaningful, measurable change.
<br><br>
<b>What You Will Be Doing:</b> Building a More Just and Inclusive Society
<br><br>
As a key member of our project teams, you will work closely with clients and colleagues to develop and implement inclusive communication strategies that reflect and elevate community voices. This inherently multi-faceted role requires hands-on experience across integrated marketing disciplines—content writing, campaign development and execution, vendor coordination, event planning and on-site support, social media strategy and content creation, project administration, and detailed reporting. You’ll help shape culturally responsive messaging across multiple platforms, support branding and storytelling for the private sector, public infrastructure, and community initiatives, and engage stakeholders through town halls, focus groups, surveys, webinars, and related events. The work also involves multilingual outreach (virtual and in-person), partnering with Community-Based Organizations, and synthesizing community feedback to inform strategy. The right candidate understands how their tactical work connects to strategic objectives—not just someone who completes tasks in isolation—and brings demonstrated experience across this diverse skill set to help advance equity, strengthen public trust, and create lasting impact.
<br><br>
Who You Are
<br><br>
You are a strategic thinker and strong communicator with 3–5 years of experience in communications, public affairs, or marketing—ideally in a fast-paced agency or mission-driven setting. You’re skilled at translating complex information into clear, compelling messages and thrive in dynamic environments that span both public and private sectors.
<br><br>
Collaborative yet self-directed, you bring a diplomatic communication style to stakeholder engagement and are comfortable navigating difficult conversations with professionalism and tact. You excel at cross-team collaboration and project management, balancing multiple deadlines and coordinating diverse stakeholders with ease. You’re experienced in organizing community events, engaging diverse audiences, and distilling public input to inform campaign strategies. Most importantly, you are deeply committed to equity, inclusivity, and strengthening communities, bringing purpose and integrity to every client and community interaction. Hands-on experience with Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) is a plus.

<br>Draft and edit a range of content, including messaging frameworks, talking points, newsletters, social media posts, web copy, flyers, and press materials.

We are really proud of helping our Alumni of Close Concerns take another important step in their journey. Our alums have attended graduate or medical school at UCSF, Stanford, Yale, University of Pennsylvania, Harvard, Dartmouth, and many other outstanding institutions.</p><p>
Here are some reflections about the role from previous Associates:</p><p></p><p>
&quot;At Close Concerns, I absolutely loved the opportunity to scale a steep learning curve and gain deep expertise in the scientific, business, and policy aspects of the diabetes and obesity fields, all while working with some of the brightest, kindest people I've met. I savored being able to interview clinical trial leaders and pharmaceutical executives and ask pressing questions. My work at Close Concerns has shaped my interests in medical school and has enabled me to ask worthwhile research questions.&quot;</p><ul><li><i>Ashwin Chetty (Yale College '21, Yale School of Medicine '27)</i></li></ul><p>
&ldquo;Associates at Close Concerns have more independence and responsibility than almost any other graduates fresh out of college. The job is exciting, fast-paced, and the best testing ground I could imagine for learning how to become successful in any field. &ldquo;</p><p><i>
&ndash; Jenny Jin (Harvard College &rsquo;06, UCSF School of Medicine &rsquo;12, Resident, Orthopedic Surgeon, Brigham and Women&rsquo;s Hospital, Boston, General Orthopedic Surgeon, Saint Alphonsus, Boise, Idaho)</i></p><p>
&ldquo;Simply put, I loved working at Close Concerns because I was able to work with incredibly bright, driven, and fun people all committed to working together to make an impact. The best part about Close Concerns is that you never leave the community. I even ended up co-founding Adventris Pharmaceuticals with a fellow Close Concerns alum.&rdquo;</p><p>
&ndash; <i>Jen Herbach (Amherst College &rsquo;07, Harvard Business School &rsquo;13, Co-Founder and CEO, Adventris Pharmaceuticals)</i></p><p>
&ldquo;While I certainly value the skills I learned at Close Concerns, I am most appreciative of the perspective I gained. The work gave me an exhaustive understanding of the many forces driving medical care and health policy &ndash; where those forces succeed and where they fall short. My experiences at Close Concerns have fueled my own passion to be persistent, resourceful, and dedicated in my own career.&rdquo;
</p><p><i>&ndash; Eric Chang (Pomona College '09, University of California at San Francisco School of Medicine &rsquo;14, Radiation Oncologist, UCLA Medical Center, Los Angeles &lsquo;18, University of Colorado School of Medicine Physical Medicine &amp; Rehabilitation Resident &lsquo;21)</i></p><p>
&quot;As my first position out of college, Close Concerns provided me an excellent opportunity to learn, travel, lead, and most importantly, spend time with truly great people. In modern public health, few issues rival the urgency of diabetes and obesity so it was a great opportunity to work in that space and develop subject matter expertise.&quot;</p><p><i>
&ndash; Albert Cai (University of Michigan '19, Senior Regulatory Affairs Specialist at Biolinq, Co-Founder of Harbor)</i></p><p>
&quot;Close Concerns was possibly the best gap year job I could imagine before heading to graduate school. I certainly wouldn&rsquo;t be at Harvard Medical School without it. It was an amazing opportunity to dive head first into the inner workings of the pharmaceutical industry. The job provides a front row view, ranging from basic science research to clinical trials to market dynamics. It was an immersive learning experience that blossomed into a passion for diabetes and obesity that I carry with me each day in my clinical interactions. I also built incredible relationships with my colleagues that have transformed into lifelong friendships. I am forever grateful for the two years I spent there!&rdquo;
</p><ul><li><i>Claire Holleman (Amherst College &lsquo;21, Harvard Medical School &lsquo;27)</i></li></ul><p>
&ldquo;Working at Close Concerns challenged me to think smarter and more creatively, sharpening my ability to communicate with confidence and purpose. At a time when quick answers and AI shortcuts are everywhere, Close Concerns gave me the rare opportunity to slow down, think deeply, and strengthen my own focus, voice, and clarity of thought. I also valued being in community with peers close to my age&mdash;we grew together, forged lifelong friendships, and learned lessons that shaped both my career and my life. Over 40 conferences in 30 cities and 10 countries later, I can say with confidence that my childhood dream of pursuing medicine and dedicating my life to healing has only deepened. Choosing to work at Close Concerns remains one of the best decisions I&rsquo;ve ever made.&rdquo;</p><p><i>
