Summary
Description
Meaningful work. National reach. A small team where your contribution matters.
For more than 124 years, Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society (AΩA) has recognized physicians, scientists, and medical students who demonstrate excellence, leadership, professionalism, scholarship, and service. Founded in 1902, AΩA is the nation’s oldest medical honor society, with more than 200,000 members and 140 medical school chapters across the United States, Puerto Rico, and Lebanon. Selection to AΩA is considered one of the highest honors in academic medicine.
Our National Office is located on the Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora, Colorado. We are a small, collaborative team supporting physicians, medical students, researchers, educators, and leaders throughout the medical profession.
AΩA is committed to creating a workplace where talented people from different backgrounds can thrive. We believe diverse perspectives strengthen patient care, education, research, scientific discovery, and the profession of medicine.
About the Role
AΩA is looking for an experienced communications professional who combines strong writing and digital communication skills with creativity, sound judgment, and a genuine interest in connecting people to a meaningful mission.
As Communications & Engagement Manager, you will have a visible role in how AΩA communicates with its members and the broader medical community. You will help shape and execute communications that strengthen member relationships, increase participation, recognize achievement, and support philanthropic engagement.
This is a role for someone who enjoys both strategy and execution. You may be developing a member engagement campaign one day and writing a newsletter, recognizing a member achievement on social media, analyzing campaign performance, or improving website content the next. Because we are a small organization, good ideas can move quickly, and your work will have a direct and measurable impact.
This is an in-office position based on the Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora, Colorado, reporting to the Operations Director.

- Expanding and strengthening AΩA’s presence on LinkedIn and Instagram while identifying emerging trends and best practices that can improve digital engagement
- Recognizing member accomplishments through social media, newsletters, the website, and other appropriate channels
- Helping develop marketing and engagement strategies that strengthen members’ connection to AΩA and inspire participation in its mission
- Working with The Phraos & Programs staff to communicate submission outcomes for national awards and contests, including Student Essay, Student Poetry, and AΩA Stories
- Using engagement and campaign data to understand what works and identify opportunities for improvement
- Providing occasional support for local events, including infrequent work outside standard business hours and limited travel
What We’re Looking For
We are looking for someone who can take ownership of their work while also enjoying the collaboration of a small team. The strongest candidate will be an excellent communicator who is organized, comfortable with technology, curious about new approaches, and able to move comfortably between strategic thinking and day-to-day execution.
