About Plan C

Plan C is a public health creative campaign on abortion pill access, started in 2015 by a small team of veteran public health advocates, researchers, social justice activists. Read about our values here.‍ Plan C works to transform access to abortion in the US by normalizing the self-directed option of abortion pills by mail. Over the past decade, Plan C has reached tens of millions of people across the US with information campaigns, spreading the word about the method and informing the public on what’s real and available and cementing the term or brand “Plan C” as household shorthand for abortion pills. Plan C cofounders have been named on Fast Company's Most Creative People in Business and as a Rock+Health Systems Disruptor; Plan C’s work has also been featured in the documentary PLAN C and in most major press/media outlets, and the online resource hub was recognized with a 2026 Webby Award for Best Activism Website. 

Role Overview

Plan C is seeking a creative, strategic, and highly collaborative Director of Communications to lead the organization’s communications strategy and translate our organizational goals into compelling, coordinated campaigns that reach people with the information they need. Awareness of pills by mail has grown dramatically over recent years, yet according to Kaiser Family Foundation data, still just 1 in 5 people surveyed across the country know that pills by mail exist. We see this moment as an important turning point to reach audiences in new ways and fully mainstream information about pills by mail. The Director of Communications will bring great marketing ingenuity and ideas that can reach people at scale, driving initiatives and campaigns that meet the current moment, resonate with audiences, and boost understanding about pills by mail with key audiences across the US.

This role will sit at the intersection of strategy, creative direction, people management, and production. The Director of Communications will oversee Plan C’s communications ecosystem—including campaigns, social media, design, video, paid media, PR, and emerging channels—and ensure that these functions work together toward shared audiences, messages, and goals. The person in this role will be creative, organized, and can help integrate across the organization. In this role, the Director of Communications will help coordinate the team to ensure that Plan C is reaching more of the people we need to reach, with clear information and coordinated execution: making the message more salient and more known, increasing awareness and measuring the impact of the communications in order to adjust and respond. 

A typical month might have this person working on:  

• Overseeing content production for social, partner campaigns 
• Thinking ahead to the end-of-year Annual Report 
• Producing a quarterly e-newsletter, in coordination with other team members from community/partnerships to research to development 
• Exploring and developing potential YouTube strategy 
• Drafting and approving press release on news developments, distributed to our list by our PR partners.  

What success looks like:

• Creative and effective campaigns: Plan C has a clear focus: mainstream information about pills by mail. The Director of Communications will lead the team towards well-designed, impactful, and resonant campaigns that have clearly defined audiences and outcomes; coordinated distribution across channels; and consistent measurement and learning. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who loves both big creative ideas and making them happen.
• Integration: Plan C generates powerful ideas, stories, partnerships, community activations, research, and educational content across the organization. The Director of Communications will not only generate their own new ideas, but will build and manage the systems and collaborative practices that vet those inputs and turn them into cohesive communications, rather than allowing individual channels or departments to operate in isolation.
• Strong team management: The Director of Communications will help establish a more integrated communications operation in which teams are working from shared priorities, measuring success together, and with clear work plans.

Core Responsibilities

Communications Strategy & Campaign Leadership

• Develop and own Plan C’s overarching communications strategy in alignment with organizational goals, priority audiences, and the evolving abortion access landscape.
• Lead and manage team/vendors to deliver major communications campaigns that reach our priority audiences from concept through execution, including campaign strategy, audience definition, messaging, creative development, production, rollout, distribution, and evaluation.
• Translate organizational priorities into clear communications plans with defined goals, audiences, channels, timelines, responsibilities, and measures of success.
• Bring strong creative thinking to Plan C’s communications and identify opportunities for campaigns, cultural interventions, partnerships, and storytelling that can move abortion pill information beyond the reproductive-health echo chamber.
• Balance responsiveness to the news and cultural environment with longer-term strategic communications priorities.

Integrated Communications & Team Leadership

• Manage and coordinate communications personnel and contractors across social media, design, video, paid media, and related functions.
• Create strong workflows between communications and Plan C’s community, partnerships, research, digital, fundraising and other teams so that communications opportunities are identified early and developed collaboratively.
• Ensure that social media, partnerships, events, advertising, press, newsletters, video, and other communications channels reinforce one another.
• Build clear editorial and production calendars that allow teams to see what is coming, understand how their work connects, and plan distribution across multiple channels.
• Create systems for repurposing strong content across formats—Ex: turning community programming or a creator collaboration into YouTube content, short-form social video, newsletter content, partner communications, and other distribution opportunities.
• Manage people with clarity and accountability, helping team understand both their individual responsibilities and how their work contributes to larger organizational goals.

Messaging & Editorial Leadership

• Own and continually refine Plan C’s core messaging and communications frameworks.
• Stay deeply informed about the rapidly changing abortion access, legal, political, cultural, media, and technology landscape and ensure Plan C’s communications remain accurate, useful, timely, and aligned with organizational strategy.
• Work with subject-matter experts across the organization to translate complex information into clear, accessible public-facing communications.
• Maintain consistency in Plan C’s voice while allowing the brand to evolve across different audiences, formats, and cultural contexts.
• Identify and clearly prioritize emerging communications opportunities and risks, and advise organizational leadership on how Plan C should respond.

Audience Strategy, Analytics & Learning

• Define audience and communications objectives for major initiatives and ensure content is designed around those objectives.
• Set and analyze metrics across communications channels, including reach, engagement, audience growth, traffic, conversion, search/discovery, and other measures tied to organizational goals.
• Regularly review performance data and translate analytics into decisions about content, channels, investment, and strategy.
• Build a culture of experimentation: test approaches, identify what is working, stop or change what is not, and scale promising ideas.
• Work with organizational leadership to understand how communications contributes to Plan C’s broader goal of increasing public awareness and comprehension of abortion pills by mail and safe home abortion.

Press & Public Relations

• Lead Plan C’s press and media strategy and serve as the primary organizational liaison with Plan C’s PR agencies.
• Work with the agencies to identify proactive media opportunities tied to Plan C’s expertise, campaigns, research, partnerships, and changing developments in access.
• Coordinate messaging, pitches, media materials, spokesperson preparation, and organizational responses to breaking developments. Deeply understand the legal dimensions of Plan C’s information-sharing lane. 
• Develop relationships with journalists and other influential storytellers and help position Plan C staff and partners as trusted sources.
