DESCRIPTION

Kick It California (KIC) provides free services to help people quit tobacco and nicotine. Established in 1992 as the California Smokers' Helpline, it was the first statewide, evidence-based, telephone-counseling service for smoking cessation in the U.S. Since then, it has expanded to provide services under two branded programs: KIC and Asian Smokers' Helpline (ASQ). KIC & ASQ combined have a large operation that provides coaching and other services to help tobacco users stop.

KIC provides free cessation phone coaching in English and Spanish to more than 20,000 people annually across California, and quit services via web, chat, text, and mobile app. ASQ provides cessation phone coaching in Cantonese, Mandarin, Korean and Vietnamese to people across the U.S.

Both programs are operated out of UC San Diego's Moores Cancer Center and are funded by multi-million-dollar state and federal grants. An internationally recognized tobacco researcher is the Principal Investigator. His team conducts intervention trials and population surveys related to tobacco control and prevention. In recent years, the team has expanded its work to cannabis research.

The Operations & Communications Manager will join a team of Service Delivery, Communications, Clinical, Research, and IT professionals responsible for maintaining and enhancing services across all programs and communications channels.
