VP of Strategic Partnerships & Growth

About HealthCorps

HealthCorps is a national non-profit committed to improving lives by addressing health challenges in communities through innovative programming in education, leadership, and service learning. We empower teens to become change agents within their families, schools, and neighborhoods. Our program is grounded in the understanding that limited access to health education can lead to a lifetime of social, emotional, and physical challenges.

The Opportunity

HealthCorps is launching a new Growth & Strategic Partnerships Division, and the VP of Strategic Partnerships & Growth will be its architect, engine, and external face. You'll hold a broad, high-impact portfolio: leading HealthCorps' national funder and strategic partnerships, driving development, grant management, and fundraising, shaping our brand and marketing, and growing our alumni, community, and hub partnership work. You won't do it alone. A national team, along with program managers across our hubs, will help you build and execute this vision.

Reporting directly to the CEO, you will hold your own portfolio of partnerships, work closely with leadership to develop and execute strategies that meet HealthCorps' revenue and growth goals, and represent HealthCorps externally at donor meetings, funder convenings, and sector events. This is an ideal role for a mission-aligned leader who can prospect a health system executive and coach a marketing manager in the same week, someone energized by both the hunt and the build.

For-profit and private sector backgrounds are strongly welcomed. If you have driven revenue, built partnerships, and told a compelling brand story, in any sector, we want to hear from you.
