About the Foundation

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), located in Princeton, N.J., is a leading national philanthropy dedicated to taking bold leaps to transform health in our lifetime. To get there, we must work to dismantle structural racism and other barriers to health. Since 1972, we have focused on developing and promoting innovations in health and healthcare to improve the lives of millions.Through funding, convening, advocacy, and evidence-building, we work side-by-side with communities, practitioners and institutions to achieve health equity faster, and pave the way, together, to a future where health is no longer a privilege, but a right.

We take seriously our responsibilities, and we pledge to work in ways that reflect ourGuiding Principles. These are rooted in equity and influence everything we do at RWJF. Equity, diversity, inclusion (EDI), and collaboration enable our staff’s wide range of experiences, passions, and perspectives to strengthen our ability to address our nation’s most pressing health issues. Our efforts to achieve health equity require us to dismantle structural racism and other barriers to health. Part of this work includes actively shaping an inclusive organization where all staff thrive as we build and use our capabilities, voice, and power to advance health equity. The Foundation offers a collaborative, collegial, and creative work environment. With a career at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, you will make a difference.

About THIS Opportunity

Reporting to the vice president, Strategic Portfolios department, the managing director will lead a team to develop and implement program strategy within the Healthy Communities portfolio. The portfolio seeks to create community conditions that allow everyone to reach their best possible health and wellbeing. The portfolio works collaboratively to support the Foundation’s Generational Goal to achieve Healthy and Equitable Community Conditions. The team is focused on advancing health equity by influencing and changing the systems that perpetuate concentrated poverty, inequitable access to opportunity, and structural racism in the development, governance, and financing of communities. Its work is advancing three broad aims:

  • Increase visibility of structural racism’s impact on community conditions and health equity and elevate actionable data and solutions to dismantle barriers to opportunity.

  • Increase public and private investments in neighborhoods and places historically excluded from opportunity in the past, without displacement, and to center community priorities and wealth-building.
