How to Apply for Healthcare Director

at Private Equity Stakeholder Project

🏢 About Private Equity Stakeholder Project

The Private Equity Stakeholder Project is a unique nonprofit financial watchdog that focuses specifically on researching and exposing the impacts of private equity investments on society and the environment. Unlike traditional nonprofits, PESP operates at the intersection of finance, activism, and policy, making it ideal for someone passionate about systemic change through investigative research and stakeholder mobilization. Working here means contributing to tangible accountability in an industry often criticized for opacity.

About This Role

As Healthcare Director, you'll lead PESP's healthcare team in developing research and campaign strategies to hold private asset managers accountable in healthcare sectors. This role involves analyzing private equity acquisitions, building stakeholder partnerships, and driving campaigns that influence policymakers and investors. It's impactful because you'll directly address how private equity affects healthcare accessibility, costs, and quality for communities.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with a team meeting to coordinate research on private equity acquisitions in mental health services, followed by analyzing datasets to identify trends. Later, you could draft a campaign strategy memo, join a coalition call with healthcare advocates, and prepare for an engagement with institutional investors on transparency issues. The role blends remote collaboration, data-driven analysis, and strategic outreach to drive accountability.
