ABOUT THE HEALTH INITIATIVE:
This is an opportunity to join a mission-driven organization with the pacing and ethos of an issue-based campaign. Founded in 2018, The Health Initiative (THI) is a nonprofit focused on catalyzing a new conversation about – and new investments in – the known drivers of health. Specifically, THI's aim is to increase public and private investment in safe homes, healthy food, and well-paying jobs by reframing these issues as central to ensuring a healthy population and a health-based economy.

The U.S. spends ~$12 billion every day on healthcare – even though only ~20% of health outcomes are tied to clinical care. This disconnect is increasingly untenable. Even pre-COVID, 24% of those with commercial health insurance still lacked adequate food, housing, or other basics – driving up healthcare costs.

As an instigator and advisor, THI works intensively with public and private healthcare institutions that control billions of dollars and impact millions of lives (health insurers, federal agencies, state departments of health and human services, and foundations) to partner with communities to invest in health, not just healthcare. With THI’s guidance, these institutions make investing in health central to their strategy, business model, and operations – and engage with communities to mobilize and align resources for healthy food, safe homes, and well-paying jobs while building community wealth and addressing historical health disparities. The THI leadership team has dedicated their careers to improving healthcare--offering critical insights into and experience with the drivers of health, healthcare delivery, and healthcare policy.

ABOUT THE POSITION:
The Health Initiative (THI) seeks to hire a highly organized, detail-oriented, and responsive Project Coordinator who thrives in the fast-paced context of issue-based campaigns and/or start-up environments, has an excellent track record of managing work to deliver results, and is enthusiastic about THI’s goals.

The Project Coordinator serves a critical function in the organization, supporting the development and execution of content that helps THI deliver on its ambitious aim while upholding our commitment to the values of transformative relationships and curiosity in our interactions with our partners. The role’s primary function is to support the project management, development, and mobilization functions with varied tasks including but not limited to the following:

• Meeting preparation for leadership and executive team, e.g. creating background materials and pulling slide decks together.
• Support with tracking and developing email communications, e.g. updating team members when key emails arrive and supporting the development of communications by ensuring drafts are paired with intended content.
• Ensuring documents meet THI style standards by proofing materials that have been developed and by maintaining style standards so that they are easy for team members to find and follow.
• Supporting key fundraising initiatives, including supporting efforts to track donor engagement, preparing for events, etc.
• Tracking and maintaining relationship management systems for both fundraising and THI’s work to mobilize partners in support of our programmatic goals.

The role reports to the Director of Partnerships and will partner closely with the Project Manager on the Development team.

The Project Coordinator will have excellent attention to detail, strong communication skills, and the ability to operate in an evolving organization while managing competing and time sensitive priorities. Responsibilities are expected to change based on organizational needs and structural changes, and flexibility and adaptability should be expected.
