The incumbent will help identify partners who represent populations and communities disproportionately impacted by cancer burden and engage them in this work; develop promotional materials, such as success stories and presentations that highlight successful cancer prevention and control interventions, and work with internal and external partners to sustain, and replicate and expand the reach of work within the Capital District Regional Office service area and statewide.

The incumbent will supervise staff as needed and perform other duties as assigned.
