Chief Operating Officer

The Gay Men's Health Crisis (GMHC) is seeking an exceptionally talented and dedicated executive to provide leadership as the Chief Operating Officer (COO) for this pioneering, performance-driven agency that has been at the forefront of the struggle against HIV/AIDS since its founding in 1981. The COO will direct the day-to-day operations of this $31 million/year organization that provides direct health care services, prevention and testing interventions, education, innovative social marketing initiatives, cutting edge research, and advocacy and policy development. Along with GMHC's Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Marjorie J. Hill, Ph.D., to whom the COO reports, the next COO will implement a robust, five-year, strategic plan adopted by the Board of Directors in June 2008 that will reinvigorate GMHC's leadership in the fight against AIDS, and redefine GMHC as a sharply focused, high-impact organization that emphasizes prevention.

The essence of GMHC is responsibility. It was literally the first organized responder. Before AIDS had a name, GMHC was responding to the crisis. Years before HIV was identified as the cause of the disease, GMHC was demanding an end to the collective denial that this was an epidemic that would affect the global community. And today, 28 years later, GMHC is still leading the response to the continuing crisis of inadequate care, ineffective prevention, ignorance and the structural barriers that separate high impact communities from the services and programs that can save lives. In this quest for a COO, GMHC is looking for a responder—an individual with outstanding strategic, managerial, financial, and programmatic skills who is committed to a role of responsibility.

GMHC is a highly respected, values-driven, results-oriented, complex institution. The next Chief Operating Officer will be responsible for guiding the professionals that comprise the GMHC staff, all of whom share a passion for the mission of the agency, through a time of challenge and change. As noted it its strategic plan, GMHC will respond to new challenges in fighting AIDS and will change to be more effective programmatically, more visible politically, more sustainable financially, and more efficient institutionally. The COO will drive this change agenda and together with the CEO will respond to the challenges of the present, just as GMHC's founders responded to the crises of the past.

The successful candidate will be an experienced manager who can synthesize projects and initiatives into a coherent, mission-focused program. The next COO must have a set of skills that can grasp and address the financial, administrative, operational, legal, and programmatic needs of an urban, multi-functional, health care, social service, educational and advocacy organization, and also possess the capacity to build a team with trust and respect at its core, and finally, must embrace and be sustained by a passion for social justice, human rights, and collective responsibility.

Applications and nominations, including a resume and a substantive cover letter responding to the challenges cited above, should be sent to the following email: 3816@imsearch.com.

Inquiries should be addressed to:
Tim McFeeley, Vice President
or
Natalie Leonhard, Associate
Isaacson, Miller
1875 Connecticut Ave., NW, Suite 710
Washington DC 20009
(202) 552-5511
