Summary

The Society of Family Planning seeks a service-oriented, adaptive leader to advance our organizational capacity to lead and successfully implement strategies that ensure clinical care is evidence-informed and person-centered while developing and supporting leaders in abortion and contraception to transform healthcare systems. The Senior Director of Healthcare Programs and Strategy role requires a thoughtful leader who can effectively engage and support employees across multiple levels of the organization. As part of a membership organization, this person must be adept at stepping forward to represent and guide members when needed and stepping back to empower members to lead initiatives when appropriate, ensuring strategic goals translate into meaningful action.

This role is ideal for a leader with deep expertise in reproductive healthcare, medical education, or clinical research, who thrives in navigating change and building collaborative initiatives. As a fully remote role with approximately 25% travel, this is a unique opportunity to contribute to the future of abortion and contraception care.

This search is being led by Emily Wexler and Linda Chavers of NPAG. Interested candidates may submit their statement of interest, along with their resume/CV, via NPAG’s candidate portal. In the statement of interest, we ask candidates to eschew the traditional cover letter format and instead answer the following in one page:

• How would you describe your leadership style? In what types of situations are you most successful as a leader? How are you currently growing as a leader?

• Share a time when you had to step in and guide a group through a challenge or decision and then step back to support the group to take ownership and lead the next phase. If you had a do over, what would you keep the same? What would you do differently?

• As the academic home of the Complex Family Planning subspeciality, we work in partnership with members to represent the subspeciality in many academic and medical spaces. What is one goal you recommend we pursue in those spaces?

Applicants are encouraged to submit applications as early as possible and will be reviewed on a rolling basis. Informational interviews or advance discussion via email with Society staff are not offered to ensure equity in the application process.
