Responsibilities

• Develop and own the story end-to-end — from needs assessment, pre-script writing, pre-production, on set interviews, through post production and editing.

• Speak and write in a way that earns respect and understanding from clinicians as well as be able to switch gears/TOV into patient-facing storytelling, depending on the audience.
