Fractional Communications Director — Healthcare B2BPart-Time Contract (1099) | Remote (US) | 15–20 hours/monthCompensation: $1,500–$3,000/month base retainer + per-placement performance bonuses
Neolytix is a 14-year-old healthcare management services organization (MSO) headquartered in Chicago, serving 270+ provider organizations nationwide across revenue cycle management, credentialing and payer enrollment, patient access, and payer contract analytics. We are entering a high-visibility growth phase, including the commercial launch of InCredibly, our proprietary credentialing and enrollment platform, and we need our leadership and our story in front of the healthcare trade press.
The Role
We are hiring a fractional communications director — an individual practitioner, not an agency — to build and run our earned media program. You will work directly with the CEO and alongside our in-house marketing team, which handles content production. Your job is strategy, pitching, and media relationships. You will not be writing blog posts.
This is a 3-month pilot engagement at 15–20 hours per month, with the expectation of a longer-term relationship (and expanded scope) if the pilot produces placements.
What You Will Own
- Earned media placements in healthcare B2B trade outlets — quotes, features, and contributed articles in publications such as Becker's, Modern Healthcare, Fierce Healthcare, MedCity News, HealthLeaders, Healthcare Dive, HIT Consultant, Medical Economics, and Physicians Practice.
- Executive visibility. Ghostwrite bylines and commentary for the CEO; position him as a voice on credentialing, payer enrollment, RCM, and MSO economics.
- Proactive pitching. 4–6 tailored pitches per month tied to news hooks, regulatory changes, and proprietary data/insights we supply.
- Reactive commentary. Monitor journalist source requests (Qwoted and similar) and turn around expert commentary fast.
- Podcast, speaking, and awards pipeline. Secure podcast appearances and speaking slots (MGMA, HFMA, Becker's events and similar) and manage industry award submissions.
Required Experience
- in communications/PR, with a meaningful portion focused on healthcare B2B (provider services, health IT, RCM, payer, or adjacent). Consumer health, wellness, and lifestyle PR do not qualify.
Base retainer of $1,500–$3,000/month depending on experience, plus per-placement bonuses tiered by outlet ($250–$1,000 per earned placement). We would rather pay for outcomes than activity, and the structure reflects that. The 3-month pilot is renewed or ended based on placements and pitch quality.
