Content Associate

Chief Talent Officer | Executive, Leadership, and Personal Growth Coach | Nonprofit Board Member | Speaker | Author Content Associate

(Two-year term-limited position: April 1, 2026, through April 1, 2028)

The California Health Care Foundation (CHCF) is an independent, nonprofit philanthropy dedicated to improving California’s health care system so that all Californians, especially those with low incomes and those facing the greatest barriers, can access the care they need. We partner with leaders across the health care safety net to provide the data and resources needed to make care more just and to drive meaningful improvement in a complex system.

We are seeking a Content Associate to join CHCF’s Communications & Engagement team. This role sits at the center of our publication process, coordinating the production of research reports and related materials that inform health policy and practice across California. Ideal candidates are strong organizers who are comfortable managing details, timelines, and collaboration across multiple teams and external partners.

In this role, you will help move publications from concept to final posting on CHCF.org, working closely with the Managing Editor, program staff, grantees, writers, editors, and designers. You will manage publishing workflows, track progress, maintain records, and support quality control so that CHCF’s publications are accurate, accessible, and delivered on schedule. You will also help use data and feedback to refine processes over time, contributing to a smoother experience for authors and staff and stronger impact for CHCF’s work.

CHCF works to improve the health care system so that all Californians have access to the care they need. We focus especially on ensuring the system works for Californians with low incomes and for communities that have historically faced the greatest barriers to care.

Our efforts are concentrated in four key areas:

• Getting everyone covered. Ensuring all Californians, regardless of income or immigration status, have health insurance.
• Strengthening and diversifying the health workforce. Addressing critical workforce shortages and improving the cultural and language competencies of health professionals.
• Delivering better care. Improving access and care for people with complex needs, such as those experiencing homelessness or serious mental illness.
• Making care just. Removing structural barriers that prevent people of color from accessing high-quality care and transforming health care systems to uphold dignity for all.

The Communications & Engagement (C&E) team works across the foundation to ensure CHCF’s research, analysis, and storytelling reach the policymakers, providers, advocates, and community partners who can use them to improve care. The team manages editorial workflows, digital channels, events, and media engagement to connect audiences with CHCF’s work in clear, accessible, and actionable ways.

The Content Associate plays a central role in CHCF’s publication process by coordinating the production of research reports and related materials. The role ensures that publications move through the editorial workflow accurately and on schedule, from initial concept through final posting on CHCF.org. The Content Associate supports project tracking, document organization, and coordination among the Managing Editor, program staff, and external contributors.

This position is also responsible for maintaining publication records, coordinating reviews and revisions, and supporting ongoing improvements to editorial systems and processes. Through this work, the Content Associate helps ensure that CHCF’s publications are produced efficiently and consistently, and are ready for use by health care leaders, policymakers, and partners across the state.

This is a full-time, exempt, term-limited position running from April 1, 2026 through April 1, 2028
