Operations & Strategy Manager, RHWRC (Remote), RHWRC (Remote)

The Organization

Women are activating their collective power: from the Women’s Marches and #MeToo to the record number of women running for and holding office. Developments in technology mean healthcare can be centered around women in new ways.

At the same time, we are facing tremendous challenges. Extreme, restrictive policies at the national

and state levels are making it alarmingly difficult for women to access the health care they want, need, and deserve. Over the next few years, further restrictions on abortion and healthcare access and potential cuts to the Affordable Care Act are expected. These cuts are a direct challenge to Roe v. Wade and would limit contraceptive access for millions of women.

Founded in 2018, RHWRC is a funder collaborative that recognizes that we are at a critical moment in the United States. The current landscape demands new funding to support urgent and significant advances for reproductive and gender equity: to become a nation in which every woman has the knowledge, resources and power to shape her own life.

First and foremost a partnership, RHWRC prioritizes listening to the field — and each other. By collaborating and pooling funds, it will be able to place strategic bets and move faster to support partner organizations. RHWRC is focused on testing and trying new approaches, responding to shifting needs, and looking farther ahead.

Position Overview

The Opportunity

The Reproductive Health and Women’s Rights Collaborative seeks an experienced and committed Operations and Strategy Manager to accomplish its strategic goals by developing and managing the team’s operations and implementing the strategic plan.

Reporting directly to the Executive Director, the Operations and Strategy Manager will be expected to develop, facilitate and implement policies and practices to manage the RHWRC team, finances, communications, operations and other components related to successful implementation of the strategic plan. RHWRC is a virtual workplace and operates as a sponsored project of Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors (RPA). This position will work remotely.

 

The Candidate

The Operations and Strategy Manager will be an engaged and passionate individual who will emphasize teamwork and cooperation to solve the most pressing issues facing women today.
