Job Description and Duties

Are you a creative digital communications professional looking for a meaningful career that makes a positive impact on the health and wellbeing of all Californians?

The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) is seeking an enthusiastic communications professional to support and implement digital strategies and tactics for one of the nation’s largest public health agencies. We are a passionate team of creatives, coordinators, strategists, and communicators who share CDPH’s mission to protect the health and wellbeing of the people and communities in California.

The Web Team Manager (Manager II) supports CDPH’s mission and strategic plan by driving digital transformation, elevating the Department’s digital presence, and modernizing how CDPH communicates with Californians. This position provides strategic direction for CDPH’s web ecosystem — including content, user experience, brand identity, accessibility, analytics, technology platforms, and enterprise web governance.

 

A visionary thinker and creative problem solver, the Web Team Manager assesses emerging trends, evaluates risks and opportunities, recommends innovative digital strategies, and leads execution of modernization initiatives. The role requires exceptional project management and change management capabilities to advance cross-departmental digital improvements and ensure CDPH delivers clear, accessible, inclusive, and engaging public health information. The position collaborates closely with the Office of Communications’ (Comms) Media, Outreach & Education, and Administration teams; with ITSD on technical planning; and with CDPH programs to support enterprise-wide digital communication excellence.

 

The incumbent works under the administrative direction of the Assistant Deputy Director of the Office of Communications.

This position is eligible for telework. For a challenging and rewarding opportunity in a creative, team-oriented environment, we encourage you to apply.
