Position Overview

Women Moving Millions is seeking a passionate, highly qualified Executive Director to lead the organization. The Executive Director reports to the WMM Board of Directors. This is a full-time position based in New York City.

About Women Moving Millions:

Women Moving Millions (WMM) is a global philanthropic community of people committed to large-scale investment in women and girls. Since 2007, WMM has inspired bold levels of giving, creating a new culture in breakthrough philanthropy. Our mission is to mobilize unprecedented resources for the advancement of women and girls. To date, over 290 donors have pledged over $600M to organizations and initiatives of their choosing that share WMM’s commitment to the advancement of women and girls throughout the world. The organization’s founding principles include:

• “We believe that if women step up and make big, bold investments, we can end gender inequality.
• We commit to cultivating philanthropic leaders because we know that fully activated leadership has the power to inspire change.
• We know that, with women’s global wealth at an unprecedented high, the time to act is now.”

WMM’s History: From Campaign to Community

WMM took form in 2005, when Helen LaKelly Hunt and her sister, Ambassador Swanee Hunt, each pledged $1M to “raise the bar on women’s giving.” These matching pledges sparked a major global funding campaign that inspired other donors to join and amplify the voices of women worldwide. In partnership with the Women’s Funding Network (WFN), the initiative led to $182M pledges made by 102 donors.

In 2009, the plan to move WMM from campaign to community was developed. With the support of committed donors and $1.5M seed grant from J.P. Morgan Chase, Women Moving Millions, Inc. was born, with Jacki Zehner as the founding Board President.

Today, WMM is a growing global community of over 290 people in 14 countries, each of whom have given $1M or more to organizations and initiatives focused on the advancement of women and girls. Collectively, members have made bold gift commitments of over $600M and continue to give support well beyond those initial commitments, making WMM the largest community of individuals giving $1M or more to create impact for women and girls. We aim to Connect. Inspire. Learn from each other and the world. We do this through educating ourselves about issues through webinars, holding in-person convenings, and sharing information on private channels of communication. We are also launching a Philanthropic Leadership curriculum in Q1 2019.

Based in New York City, WMM has an annual operating budget of approximately $2M and a small, high performing team of four. WMM is primed for its next chapter and is seeking a visionary Executive Director to map out the future of the organization and deepen the impact of its committed and engaged members and strategic partners.

The  Maine Health Access Foundation (MeHAF)is recruiting for a full-time (30-40 hours/week) Program Officer I or II to join our dynamic and mission-driven team.  The Program Officer will develop, manage, and evaluate program activities including grants, policy research, technical assistance, information dissemination, and convening.  

Position details:  This staff person will take a combination of lead and secondary roles in several of the program areas outlined in the new MeHAF Strategic Framework.  Program Officers must have strong organizational, relational, and analytic talents to support program design, implementation, monitoring, and improvement.  Such work relies on working closely with partner organizations, applicants and grantees, requires exceptional interpersonal and cross-cultural skills and an ability to navigate complex systems and structures and the power differential that may exist between organizations, including between a foundation and its applicants and grantees.  Program Officers also contribute to the broader work of the foundation and its growing commitment to health equity by serving as active participants in planning overall foundation activities and working collaboratively with other staff and leadership.  Specific program areas will be assigned based on expertise and interests of new and current team members.  The ideal candidate is a strategic, creative thinker who is adept at cultivating collaborative relationship with diverse groups, and who brings knowledge, capacity, and experiences that broaden those of the MeHAF team.  Subject area expertise is desirable, but more important is the ability to plan, implement, and adapt programs while contributing to MeHAF’s ongoing organizational learning and development.

Qualifications:  Bachelor’s degree with five years’ experience in public health or health fields, community organizing, public policy, or community development.  Highly relevant personal or professional experience or an advanced degree may be substituted on a year-for-year basis for educational requirements.  Experience with nonprofit organizations and philanthropy is desirable, as is knowledge of health care delivery and public health.  See the position description for all required core competencies.
