Job description

High Impact Medicine (Hi-Med) is looking for a Program Manager to join their team.

Overview:

• Part-time: 3 days per week
• Location: Anywhere (Remote)
• Language: English
• Salary: up to $20 per hour, depending on prior experience
• Applications closing: 7th October

Job Description

High Impact Medicine (Hi-Med) is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to guide a global community of doctors and medical students to do more good through high impact careers and giving. We believe that medical professionals are highly skilled and motivated but have huge untapped potential to save more lives and reduce future threats to health. A key barrier giving rise to this “impact gap” is their lack of exposure to ideas, networks, and opportunities that would enable more impactful career- and giving-decisions by many medical students and doctors.

As Program Manager, you will join Hi-Med at a pivotal time in the organization’s journey and take a central role in delivering our new “Strategic Refresh 2025-2026” program. You will work closely with the Executive Director and close-knit team, using your broad-based skills and innovative approach to help grow our positive impact on the world’s most pressing health-related problems. This position arises as we restructure our existing staffing arrangements – it is partly a replacement position and partly for new work arising from the Strategic Refresh.

Responsibilities

The Program Manager will report to and work closely with the Executive Director. The key responsibilities of the position are as follows:

1. Providing support for the Career Planning Course and 1:1 Mentoring Program (approximately 40%).
   1. Administer and support the career planning programs.
   2. Co-develop new approaches, written and multimedia resources that improve the guidance for participants toward impactful paths.
   3. Track participant progress and maintain records to assess outcomes.
2. Developing and maintaining Hi-Med’s new online Information Hub (approximately 30%).
   1. Curate and update the online Information Hub with resources on career pathways, organisations, and opportunities.
   2. Monitor usage and gather feedback to improve accessibility and relevance.
3. Managing our outreach activities and fostering community engagement in High Impact Medicine’s communication channels (approximately 30%).
   1. Communicate with universities, medical student societies and medical organisations to build awareness of Hi-Med and identify participants for our programs.
   2. Help to maintain and grow engagement within Hi-Med’s channels of communication (e.g. Slack, social media, email), working with our Head of Content.
   3. Support online peer groups and discussions, fostering a positive and inclusive environment.

Role Requirements

You will be well suited to this position if you have the following:

• A strong interest in global health, biosecurity, or related impact-focused fields.
• Knowledge of and interest in concepts of effective altruism.
• Experience in program coordination, community management, and/or career advising.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.
• Excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to connect positively with people in an online environment.
• Ability to work independently in a remote setting, with good organizational and time-management skills.
• Comfort with online platforms (Google Workspace, Slack, Squarespace, Notion or similar) and use of LLMs.

Some additional qualities will help you stand out but are not essential. These include:

• Previous training or employment in medicine, public health, global health, or related fields.
• Experience in the effective altruism community.
• Experience in online content management, managing an online knowledge hub, building and managing a website.
• Previous work in nonprofit or academic program roles.
• Ability to work in a language other than English, especially languages commonly spoken in our target countries (which include Germany, India, Kenya, Nigeria, Philippines, Switzerland).
