Duties

The Office of Health Security (OHS) is seeking a Communications and Marketing expert to join the OHS Front Office Communications team, focusing specifically on the promotion of the Total Workforce Protection Directorate (TWP) portfolio. TWP contains a broad portfolio of technical experts in the space of Occupational Safety and Health (OSH), public health, occupational medicine, work life, veterinary, psychological health, Organizational Wellness, and other specialized health and medical initiatives all focused on the total well-being of the DHS workforce and their families at work and at home. OHS is looking for a communications expert to translate the plentiful technical information about TWP lead programs, guidance, and recommendations for DHS employees and families into effective products through as many creative communication and marketing outlets as possible across DHS. The resources and programs we offer are only effective if seen and understood by the intended audience - DHS employees across the enterprise and their family members at home. Due to the fact that DHS is a very large agency with diverse mission sets, majority of which are operational and not in office environments, it is not a one size fits all approach to strategic communication and messaging. The OHS and TWP team operates in a fast paced environment with time sensitive information that is critical to be shared widely. Join our team and help us more successfully spread the word about important efforts to improve the lives of our employees and their families - a top priority for DHS leadership, OHS, and TWP.
