WHAT YOU’LL DO

Reporting to the Vice President, Transplant Strategy & Programs, the Transplant Initiatives Director is responsible for the execution, accountability, measurement, and funder-readiness infrastructure supporting NKF's Transplants for All (T4A) initiative. This is a high-ownership individual contributor role for an experienced program/project management professional who can bring order, rigor, and follow-through to a cross-functional initiative across the national and local levels. The Director will also help generate the content that lets NKF tell the story of its impact, both internally and externally, requiring existing knowledge of the transplant and donation landscape to bring contextual expertise to the work.

The Director will work closely with Programs, Corporate Relations, Government Relations, NKF field offices, and other internal teams to ensure clear coordination on cross-functional projects and will be a key partner to the Vice President in preparing materials that support funder engagement, internal reporting, and external partnerships.
