🏢 About WomenHeart
WomenHeart is the nation's only patient-centered organization dedicated solely to advancing women's heart health through support, education, and advocacy. Working here means joining a mission-driven team that directly impacts the lives of women with heart disease, offering a unique opportunity to contribute to a cause that is both urgent and underserved.
About This Role
As Manager of Projects and Deliverables, you will be the operational backbone of WomenHeart's programmatic initiatives, ensuring that funded projects, educational resources, and events are delivered on time and within scope. This role is impactful because you'll enable the organization to scale its reach and effectiveness by streamlining workflows and coordinating cross-functional teams.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day might start with checking project dashboards and updating workplans, then attending a cross-team meeting to align on a funded project's next steps. You might spend the afternoon reviewing content drafts from a subject matter expert, coordinating with a designer on layout, and flagging a potential delay to the team lead.
