Summary
The intern will manage media prospecting, build targeted media lists, and draft personalized pitches to various news and trade outlets. Additionally, they will develop press releases, talking points, and conduct interviews with internal stakeholders to generate compelling story narratives.
Job Description
Tiber Health Corp.(THI & PHSU) are in a period of significant growth—new campus expansions, Title IV approvals, innovative AI-driven education tools, and a nationally relevant health equity mission. Dr. Lenihan’s thought leadership is central to positioning the organization, but consistent media outreach requires dedicated time that the current team cannot absorb alongside ongoing campaign work.
A focused intern creates outreach capacity at no additional labor cost. The intern handles the research-intensive, high-volume work of building media lists, crafting pitches, and managing follow-ups, freeing the senior communications team to focus on strategy, content quality, and campaign execution.
Scope of Work
Media Prospecting & Outreach
• Research and build a targeted media list of podcasts, news outlets, trade publications, and digital media in healthcare, higher education, health equity, and innovation.
• Draft personalized pitch emails to producers, editors, and podcast hosts on behalf of Dr. Lenihan and the Tiber Health Corp./PHSU communications team.
• Manage an outreach tracker—logging contacts, pitch status, follow-up dates, and placement confirmations.
• Execute follow-up outreach on a regular cadence to keep pitches warm.
Content Development
• Draft press releases and media advisories for upcoming announcements and milestones.
• Write and maintain CEO talking points, media bios, and one-pagers tailored to different audiences and outlets.
• Develop copy for announcements, social media, and other communications as needed.
Interviews & Story Development
• Conduct interviews with internal stakeholders—faculty, students, and leadership—to gather quotes, story angles, and human-interest narratives.
• Identify and develop story pitches based on organizational milestones, student success, research breakthroughs, and community impact.
