Senior Strategic Communications Advisor (Fixed Term Contractor)

Surgo Health is building the Behavioral Intelligence layer for healthcare — revealing why people behave as they do, predicting what they will do next, and helping organizations make the decisions that change outcomes. 

A Public Benefit Corporation grounded in two decades of global health experience, Surgo generates foundational behavioral data that reveals the unseen why and builds the AI products that powers decision-grade insights at population scale — equipping healthcare organizations, funders, and public agencies to act on what actually shapes health outcomes: people's beliefs, motivations, and barriers. 

From predicting who will enroll and remain in a clinical trial, to understanding what drives treatment decisions, to designing more effective health programs, Surgo brings the missing human layer into decisions traditionally made with clinical data alone.

Backed by 40+ peer-reviewed publications and trusted by partners including the Gates Foundation, J&J, Takeda, Pivotal Ventures, and the Clinton Health Access Initiative, Surgo is building a future where healthcare organizations don't just understand human behavior, but anticipate it — making healthcare more personal, precise, and effective for everyone.

Role Summary:

We are hiring an experienced communications consultant to grow the public visibility of Surgo Health’s maternal health and mental health research through to the end of 2027. This is the right role for you if you are passionate about getting evidence in front of the people who can act on it:  journalists, decision-makers, and the public. This role is centered on driving earned media and social media engagement, while also supporting the funder- and partner-facing writing that underpins those efforts. You'll work closely with Surgo's research and strategy leads to turn findings on youth mental health, maternal health and related topics into media coverage, social presence, and public conversation.
