UW employees offer their boundless energy, creative problem solving skills and dedication to build stronger minds and a healthier world. UW faculty and staff also enjoy outstanding benefits, professional growth opportunities and unique resources in an environment noted for diversity, intellectual excitement, artistic pursuits and natural beauty. All of which has allowed the UW to be nationally recognized as a “Great College to Work For” for six consecutive years. The School of Nursing is dedicated to advancing nursing science and practice by generating knowledge and educating future leaders to address health issues. Our vision is to pioneer improvements in health and health care through innovative nursing science, education and practice. We are committed to fostering a working and learning environment that is inclusive and welcoming of all groups.

The Marketing Specialist will be part of the Marketing and Communications team's annual planning process, will help assess the marketing needs for programs and projects, draft strategic marketing plans, and implement tactics and tools to support those plans. Success in this position requires being an independent driver of ideas, a collaborative member of a dynamic team, and a creative thought partner who will take the initiative in marketing efforts for the School of Nursing under the Assistant Dean of Marketing and Communications' guidance.
