at H-CAP, Inc.

🏢 About H-CAP, Inc.

H-CAP is a unique national labor-management organization that bridges unions (specifically SEIU affiliates), employers, and workers to transform healthcare workforce development. What makes them distinctive is their dual focus on advancing job quality/equity for caregivers while meeting industry needs through innovative programs and policies. Someone might want to work here to be at the intersection of labor rights, healthcare transformation, and social impact in a fully remote setting.

About This Role

As Executive Director, you'll lead a 13-person remote team in strategic planning, program coordination, and policy initiatives that directly impact healthcare workforce development nationwide. This role is impactful because you'll create the external funding strategy that sustains H-CAP's mission while building relationships with union leaders, healthcare partners, and government entities to advance caregiver equity.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve morning check-ins with remote team leads, strategic planning sessions for workforce development programs, and afternoon meetings with SEIU representatives and healthcare employer partners to align on initiatives. You'd also dedicate time to funder outreach and reviewing policy proposals that advance caregiver equity.
