This position works closely with the Maine CDC's Maternal Child Health (MCH) program, and will be expected to provide regular program updates and communication to MCH and Maine CDC senior leadership.

This is a grant funded position with a starting annual salary up to $78,481. This is a hybrid remote position, with in-office days at the Maine CDC building in Augusta.
