Company Description
About Covista
Covista is America"s largest healthcare educator, serving more than 97,000 students and supported by a community of 385,000 alumni across five accredited institutions. Through personalized, tech-enabled education powered by 10,000 faculty and colleagues, Covista expands access to healthcare careers and addresses the U.S. healthcare workforce shortage at scale. Covista is the parent company of American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine, Chamberlain University, Ross University School of Medicine, Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine and Walden University.
Our colleagues come from a wide range of backgrounds, business, academia, healthcare, government and nonprofits, and are part of a culture where doing exceptional work and making a meaningful difference for students and society aren"t separate goals-they"re one and the same. This means creating an environment where colleagues can develop new skills, build careers that match their ambitions and see the tangible impact of their work on healthcare education and workforce development. Colleagues who deliver results and embrace new tools to work smarter are valued for their contributions. But what makes working at Covista distinctive is our impact. Our faculty and colleagues don"t just support healthcare education-they shape it. This isn"t abstract purpose work. It"s solving real problems for real people in real communities while advancing careers.
We operate on a hybrid schedule with four in-office days per week (Monday-Thursday). This approach enhances creativity, innovation, communication, and relationship-building, fostering a dynamic and collaborative work environment.

Job Description
Opportunity at a Glance
Quick Overview:
You"ll be the person who elevates Covista"s executives" voices and cements their standing as visible, compelling authorities - developing the speeches, positioning, social presence and media relationships that amplify their leadership and expertise in healthcare education. Reporting directly to the Director of Corporate Communications, you"ll have ownership across both executive content and earned media, with clear runway to grow.
This role is for an expert storyteller: someone who can find the narrative buried in a business update, shape an executive"s point of view into a LinkedIn post that commands attention and drives conversation, and pitch a journalist on why Covista"s story matters - all in the same week. You"ll build and maintain the media relationships, content engine and executive voice infrastructure that drives how this company shows up in the world.
The exposure is broad and the work is high visibility. You"ll partner closely with the C-suite on the moments that define their public presence - thought leadership, media interviews, speaking engagements, and the steady drumbeat of content that builds authority over time.
Key Responsibilities:
Executive Communications
Develop speeches, talking points, bylined articles and presentations for the c-suite.
Lead executive social media strategy - identifying trends, building thought leadership positioning, and managing day-to-day presence across platforms.
Design messaging frameworks for different audiences and channels.
Prepare executives for high-stakes media interviews and speaking engagements.
Use AI and technology to sharpen your work and move faster.
Media Relations & Storytelling
Be the story miner - digging into Covista"s operations to surface narratives worth telling.
Build and maintain relationships with journalists covering higher education, healthcare and business.
Pitch stories, coordinate media interviews, and develop the press materials (releases, bylines, pitch frameworks) that drive executive visibility.
Stay ahead of news cycles to find the right moment for the right story.
Who Thrives Here
You"re a generalist in the best sense - equally comfortable crafting a CEO LinkedIn post, pitching a Wall Street Journal story, and giving counsel to internal stakeholders on how to shape a narrative. You write exceptionally well, adapt quickly to different voices and formats, and have strong instincts for what"s newsworthy. You"re proactive by nature: you spot the trend before someone asks you about it and pitch the story before the window closes.
You"re ambitious and want to grow. This role is built for someone who"s ready for more responsibility than their current position allows and wants a real platform to demonstrate what they can do. The director you"ll work with is invested in your development, and Covista"s growth creates room to advance.
Qualifications
Preferred Background
Experience in higher education, healthcare, publicly traded companies, or regulated industries is a plus. You"re as comfortable in a strategic conversation as you are executing the details flawlessly. You"ve navigated crisis communications and know how to stay steady when stakes are high. You build trust easily - with internal teams, external partners, and media contacts alike. Bachelor"s degree in communications, journalism, marketing or a related field required.
Additional Information
In support of the pay transparency laws enacted across the country, the expected salary range for this position is between $80336.75 and $145077.09. Actual pay will be adjusted based on job-related factors permitted by law, such as experience and training; geographic location; licensure and certifications; market factors; departmental budgets; and responsibility. Our Talent Acquisition Team will be happy to answer any questions you may have, and we look forward to learning more about your salary requirements. The position qualifies for the below benefits.
