How to Apply for Reproductive Health Project Manager

at National Health Law Program

🏢 About National Health Law Program

The National Health Law Program (NHeLP) is a unique advocacy organization dedicated exclusively to protecting and advancing health rights for low-income and underserved populations through policy analysis, litigation, and technical support. Unlike general health nonprofits, NHeLP operates at national, state, and local levels with a specific commitment to health equity, making it a strategic choice for professionals passionate about systemic change in healthcare access.

About This Role

As Reproductive Health Project Manager, you'll lead the Medicaid and Reproductive Health Policy Agenda by developing project plans, coordinating stakeholder meetings, and managing budgets tied to grant requirements. This role is impactful because it directly advances reproductive health access for vulnerable populations through structured advocacy efforts that bridge policy development with practical implementation.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve reviewing project timelines for the Medicaid and Reproductive Health Policy Agenda, preparing agendas for upcoming stakeholder meetings, coordinating with finance teams on stipend processing, and drafting progress reports that document milestones for grant compliance. You'll likely use Asana or Salesforce to track deliverables while communicating with both internal teams and external partners about project developments.
