at National Bleeding Disorders Foundation

🏢 About National Bleeding Disorders Foundation

The National Bleeding Disorders Foundation (NBDF) is a mission-driven nonprofit that directly impacts the lives of individuals with inheritable bleeding disorders through research, education, and advocacy. Working here means joining a dedicated team that values collaboration with Hemophilia Treatment Centers and community stakeholders, offering a remote-first culture with meaningful national reach.

About This Role

As Manager of Education, you will lead the design and implementation of national health education initiatives for people with bleeding disorders and their support networks. This role is impactful because it directly empowers patients and families with knowledge, while also shaping educational resources across multiple platforms and strengthening partnerships with key healthcare providers.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve a morning check-in with the HTC network to coordinate a new educational webinar, followed by drafting content for a patient-facing video series. Afternoon could focus on analyzing post-program survey data to assess impact, then meeting with chapter volunteers to train them on delivering a new resource toolkit.
