Program Manager
High Impact Medicine
📍 Remote (Global) 🕔 Part Time
💰$20 USD /hr ⏳ 13/10/2025
High Impact Medicine is hiring a Program Manager. 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.
About High Impact Medicine
Hi-Med will continue to increase its positive impact by providing three things within our Strategic Refresh 2025-2026:
Career guidance for medical students and doctors who want to help address the world’s most pressing problems but are unsure of their best path forward. This is delivered through an online Career Planning Course, 1:1 mentoring, and maintenance of a global community of like-minded medics seeking impact.
A new Information Hub to support career decision-making, focused on global health, pandemic preparedness and biosecurity. The Hub will help link our participants to the people, organizations and opportunities they need to progress along their pathways to impact.
Effective Giving resources to encourage and enable members of our community who wish to pledge a proportion of their income to highly effective charities.
