Public Relations & Reputation Manager

USANA Health Sciences • Salt Lake City, UT

10d • Hybrid

About The Position

We are looking for an experienced and creative individual to join our team as a manager of reputation and public relations. This role is responsible for overseeing USANA’s brand reputation, monitoring sentiment, and driving strategies that strengthen trust across external platforms and audiences. In this role, you will serve as the primary steward of how USANA is perceived in the world—protecting and strengthening our brand reputation across third-party review platforms, earned media, and the broader public conversation. While continuing to deliver polished press releases and award submissions, your broader focus will center on building brand trust: monitoring sentiment, managing our presence across key platforms, and translating insights into forward-thinking strategies that keep USANA ahead of the curve. Our ideal candidate is equal parts strategist and doer—and above all, a go-getter. This is a role for someone who spots a gap, takes initiative, and consistently brings thoughtful solutions to the table. If you are known for raising your hand, following through, and making things happen without waiting to be asked, you will thrive here.
