Banner's Marketing team is a dynamic, mission-driven department that serves as the voice of Banner Health.

Our team works in close partnership with senior leadership, clinical providers, and the corporate marketing team to ensure consistent, strategic, and impactful communications that align with Banner's broader organizational goals.

We serve as trusted advisors and strategic partners — both internally across departments and externally with media, community stakeholders, and the public — helping to build and protect Banner's reputation as one of the nation's leading nonprofit health systems.

No two days look the same in this fast-paced role, but you must be a self starter and able to work independently and on a team.

The ideal candidate brings at least five years of experience in journalism, public relations, and marketing, along with a passion for storytelling and a proactive, solutions-oriented mindset. This is a great opportunity to grow your career within a large, integrated health system.

Majority of work will be on-site at Wyoming Medical Center with some hybrid days Monday - Friday 8am - 5pm
