coordination.
This role leads packaging, dissemination, and integration of content into
practical, implementation-ready tools for varied audiences and settings, and

closely with the Director, Healthcare Solutions to ensure ALZPro receives clear
content requirements and finished resources for platform integration, and
represents the Association on external partner workgroups relevant to its
clinical program portfolio.

Develop resources for specialty care audiences, including neurology and
geriatrics, to support diagnosis and ongoing management.

Monitor gaps in the Association's professional resource portfolio across the
care continuum and recommend new content priorities.
Cross-Audience Implementation Support (25%)
Adapt and tailor resources to support implementation across varied audiences
and care settings across the continuum, coordinating with teams that own
specific audience relationships.
Coordinate with Care and Support to ensure clinician-facing tools connect to
or align with patient-facing resources that clinicians can share directly
with patients and families.
Develop modified or adapted versions of resources as needed for
resource-constrained health systems and underserved populations to support
equitable implementation.
Coordinate with Public Policy and Advocacy on resources that support policy
and payment change relevant to dementia care quality.
Content Requirements & ALZPro Coordination (20%)
Serve as the primary point of coordination between care-continuum content
development and the ALZPro product team, ensuring the Director, Healthcare
Solutions and their team have clear requirements, priorities, and finished
content needed for platform integration.
Translate content plans and deliverable timelines into specifications the
ALZPro team can use for sequencing and release planning; platform decisions
remain owned by the Director, Healthcare Solutions.
Ensure resources are packaged consistently and ready for handoff to ALZPro.
Work with the ALZPro team and Digital Strategy as needed to resolve content
format or usability issues ahead of integration.
Cross-Functional Collaboration & Program Support (20%)
Partner with Medical Affairs to ensure all resources are clinically accurate
and aligned with current evidence and organizational positions.
