About The Position

The Program Director will serve as an internal consulting leader, partnering closely with the Chief Marketing & Communications Officer and other senior organizational stakeholders. The Director will play a critical role in shaping and advancing the organization’s long term strategic vision by defining priorities, aligning investments, and driving operational efficiency across a complex, matrixed environment. Equal parts strategist and executor, this role blends strategy development, initiative leadership, and investment effectiveness to improve core operational processes and ensure resources are directed toward the highest impact opportunities. The ideal candidate brings a structured, analytical approach to ambiguous challenges, connects insights across teams and functions, and translates strategy into actionable plans. This role offers a unique opportunity to influence executive decision making, improve how we allocate and measure investments, and shape how the organization communicates and connects with key audiences. This is an ideal opportunity for a former management consultant, strategist, or transformation leader who thrives in dynamic environments, enjoys solving complex problems, and is motivated by driving clarity, alignment, and measurable results— all within a mission driven healthcare environment. This is a full time day shift position working 4 days at our Corporate Office in mid-town Manhattan, and the ability for 1 day remote.
