Job Summary

Artemis is seeking a Technical Writer/Editor to support a Veterans Health Administration (VHA) public and mental health communications effort. The Technical Writer/Editor will be responsible for writing, editing, and quality-reviewing the full range of program communications and deliverables — including executive briefing materials, leadership reports, strategic communications products, and Veteran-centered educational materials. Working alongside suicide prevention subject matter experts, this role ensures every product is clinically accurate, culturally responsive, accessible, and aligned with VA branding and health literacy standard.

The Technical Writer/Editor role requires a self-starter, proactive problem solver and action-oriented team player with previous experience in management consulting and business development pursuits. This position needs an individual that is committed to providing superior service, poised under pressure and has a positive and flexible attitude.

This is a contingent hire position.

Offers will be contingent upon client approval, ability to meet security requirements, and the ability to adhere to any on-site requirements (which may change at contract award).

Remote work is anticipated. However, occasional travel for client engagements may be required.

Primary Responsibilities

• Write, edit, and proofread executive-level communications products, including briefing materials, key talking points, leadership presentations, and messaging frameworks for VHA senior leadership.
• Support development and implementation of the Strategic Communications and Engagement Plan and sprint content calendars for both internal VA and external audiences.
• Draft and edit bi-weekly executive briefing packages and monthly leadership and progress reports for the VA Program Manager and Contracting Officer's Representative.
• Partner with suicide prevention subject matter experts to write clinically accurate, culturally responsive, and Veteran-centered messaging.
• Develop educational materials and digital assets (e.g., fact sheets, flyers, and educational toolkits) that promote awareness of Office of Suicide Prevention strategic planning and the four Strategic Sprints.
• Coordinate messaging across VA program offices to ensure consistent communication of Strategic Sprint objectives and progress.
• Edit and quality-review project deliverables — including project management plans, weekly progress and performance reports, ad hoc reports, and sprint closeout reports — for clarity, accuracy, grammar, and consistency.
• Ensure all written materials adhere to VA branding guidelines, Section 508 accessibility standards, plain language principles, and health literacy guidelines.
