Do you love turning data into stories and ideas into funded programs? Are you energized by connecting the dots between planning, quality, and real community impact? CG Public Health is looking for a Public Health Planner to help shape the future of our department. In this role, you will secure the funding that brings community health priorities to life, help our department keep the high standards of a nationally accredited public health agency, and share our progress with the Board of Health and the public in ways that are clear and compelling. You will work alongside colleagues at every level, and your research, your writing, and your ideas will make a visible difference in the community we serve.

We are looking for an organized, curious, and collaborative planner. The ideal candidate communicates clearly with leaders, partners, and funders and can explain complex ideas in plain language. They are comfortable weighing information and making sound decisions, adapting when plans change, and keeping several projects moving at once. Working knowledge of Microsoft Office is a must, and an understanding of how public health planning, quality improvement, and strategic planning fit together is a plus.

At CG Public Health, you will join a supportive team, enjoy a Monday–Friday schedule, and receive a strong benefit package that includes paid vacation and participation in the Iowa Public Employees’ Retirement System (IPERS). Best of all, you will have the chance to see your work improve the health of the communities we serve. If you are ready to make a lasting impact, this is your opportunity.
