How to Apply for Just the Pill - Executive Director
at Work in Progress Consulting
🏢 About Work in Progress Consulting
Just The Pill is a pioneering nonprofit that provides discreet, patient-centered reproductive healthcare through telehealth and mail delivery, specifically serving underserved states like Colorado, Minnesota, Montana, and Wyoming. Founded in 2020, it uniquely combines technology with reproductive justice values to expand access to medication abortion and sexual health services in regions with limited options. Working here means directly advancing bodily autonomy through innovative care delivery while being part of a fully remote, mission-driven team.
About This Role
As Executive Director, you'll translate Just The Pill's reproductive justice mission into operational strategy while managing day-to-day functions and supervising three direct reports. This role is pivotal for ensuring the organization's financial health through managing a $4M+ budget, implementing fundraising plans, and representing the nonprofit to the Board, funders, and partners. Your leadership will directly impact expanding access to telehealth abortion care across four states while fostering an inclusive remote work culture aligned with equity values.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day might involve morning check-ins with your three direct reports via video, reviewing budget metrics and fundraising progress, then preparing for a Board update on operational priorities. Afternoon hours could include strategizing with reproductive justice coalition partners about expanding services, followed by reviewing patient care protocols to ensure alignment with mission values—all while managing the flow of a fully remote team across multiple time zones.
