The Communications Manager is the IFL's lead staffer charged with engaging diverse audiences in the work of the Lab, its people, and its vision using the full range of communications tools and across platforms. The ideal candidate will bring strategic vision, an innovative mindset, a passion for Public Health, and significant experience implementing modern marketing, communications and engagement best practices. At the IFL, students and researchers work alongside community organizations, journalists, civic society leaders, and other sources of trusted information to envision a better future for our information spaces. Rapid changes in media technology, content creation, and information consumption have democratized information and empowered new voices.

The Lab improves local information ecosystems and supports people in effectively accessing, creating, and making sense of information that is crucial to their wellbeing. Due to the innovative nature of the Lab, the role of the Communications Manager includes traditional communications responsibilities as well as room to co-create and test novel ways to overcome information inequities and support people in making sense of information crucial to their wellbeing. The Communications Manager oversees and implements the IFL's communication strategy to support the Lab's mission, including a dynamic web presence, active social media, relationships with media outlets, impactful public and professional events, and communication and engagement among research partners, the School of Public Health, Brown University, community partners and other constituencies. The Communications Manager provides a high level of support to the leadership team at the Lab, specifically in the areas of knowledge translation, written and visual content development and rapid information sharing. The Communications Manager is editorially minded, driving innovation across all communication and engagement tools, including managing the IFL's website, building a social media voice and expanding the IFL's social media presence, translating the Lab's activities into content shared broadly, creatively and in many formats, and engaging diverse audiences on- and offline.
