About The Position

Tiber Health Corp.(THI & PHSU) are experiencing significant growth, including new campus expansions, Title IV approvals, innovative AI-driven education tools, and a nationally relevant health equity mission. Dr. Lenihan’s thought leadership is crucial for positioning the organization, but consistent media outreach requires dedicated time that the current team cannot manage alongside ongoing campaign work.

Research and build a targeted media list of podcasts, news outlets, trade publications, and digital media in healthcare, higher education, health equity, and innovation.
Draft personalized pitch emails to producers, editors, and podcast hosts on behalf of Dr. Lenihan and the Tiber Health Corp./PHSU communications team.
Manage an outreach tracker—logging contacts, pitch status, follow-up dates, and placement confirmations.
Execute follow-up outreach on a regular cadence to keep pitches warm.
Draft press releases and media advisories for upcoming announcements and milestones.
Write and maintain CEO talking points, media bios, and one-pagers tailored to different audiences and outlets.
Develop copy for announcements, social media, and other communications as needed.
