Media Advocacy Specialist

The Institute for Public Strategies (IPS) is seeking a full-time Media Advocacy Specialist for programs that focus on preventing substance use disorders and related harms using equity-centric, community-level strategies. This position requires a candidate with direct experience in traditional media: developing media plans, authoring press releases and opinion editorials, hosting media events, building media lists, and developing working relationships with editors, reporters, and assignment desks. Please do not apply if your experience is solely with social media. The candidate must work well as part of a diverse team with varying ideas and work styles. This position is based out of Culver City in Los Angeles.
