    Description

    Social Media Manager Remote · 3–5 hours/week · Ongoing

    Healthful Stories is a Seattle-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that conducts in-depth interviews with people living with chronic and complex health conditions. We exist to document the real patient journey: the delays, the barriers, and the turning points in a way that will have the greatest impact on those living with similar illnesses. Our interviews are structured and informational, not just inspirational.

    As our Social Media Manager, you will build and manage an engaged audience around serious health content - not awareness-month graphics, but real stories. You'll work closely with our team to bring patient perspectives to the people who most need to hear them.

    You bring:

    • Demonstrated experience managing social accounts for a nonprofit, publication, or advocacy organization
    • Strong writing skills and an instinct for what resonates in health and advocacy spaces
    • Familiarity with scheduling tools (Buffer, Later, or equivalent) and basic analytics
    • Comfort with health-sensitive content and editorial discretion

    What you'll gain: End-to-end ownership of a nonprofit's digital presence, a measurable track record of audience growth, and experience at the intersection of patient advocacy and health communications: a combination that translates directly to roles in health system communications, patient affairs, advocacy, and public health media.
