SalaryABOUT PROJECT HEALTHY MINDS
Project Healthy Minds is a mental health tech non-profit startup. We are pioneering a first-of-its-kind model: applying technology to address one of the biggest social issues of our time: the growing mental health crisis. We believe in a simple but profound idea: that it should be as easy to find mental health services as it is to book a flight or a restaurant reservation. That's why we're building the world’s first digital marketplace for finding mental health services that are right for you.
To do that, we work with some of the most inspiring and influential leaders in America - business titans, tech entrepreneurs, clinicians and scientists, musicians, artists, athletes, media stars, policymakers, and more. Because we believe that the world's most complex challenges require interdisciplinary teams and solutions.
We are backed by a powerhouse of industry-leading Board of Directors and Advisory Council Members who are passionate, hands-on, and dive into the important work with us.

ABOUT THE ROLE
IN THE WORDS OF OUR FOUNDER & CEO:
Over the last decade, I’ve had the good fortune to get to work with extraordinary teams and incredibly talented people – the kind of people who inspire and push you to become a better version of yourself. Whether it was in the Obama White House at the National Economic Council or at BlackRock in the Vice Chairman or Global CMO’s office, I have always worked in the “front office” – working first as the young staffer then as the Chief of Staff for high-powered, talented, impactful leaders.
What I learned from all of those experiences is that when a leader finds the right right-hand, they are an unstoppable force of nature together. That’s who I am looking for in this role – someone who works hard and will get into the trenches with me, someone who has high EQ and is good at working with all of the different types of stakeholders that I interface with (from CEOs of big public companies to founders of startups that have become household names to celebrities to clinicians to my colleagues at work to external partners to the people we serve), someone who is smart and able to “connect the dots” across all of our work, someone who is incredibly organized and detail-oriented to help me run the Office of the CEO, someone who has a knack at anticipating needs and what will happen next, and someone who is just a joy to work with every day. Essentially, I am looking for a partner-in-crime as we build and scale Project Healthy Minds.
Beyond all of the “normal” reasons for why you should work with me and our team, what I hope this role offers to you is a few things:
I think you’ll learn and grow at a faster pace than any other role you’ve had in the past – learning about building a startup, learning about harnessing technology to solve a massive social problem, learning about the media and entertainment industry and how deep partnerships are built and nurtured, learning about how to partner with scientists and clinicians to translate the best of the medical world into technology products that can make a difference in people’s lives, building a vibrant community of leaders and philanthropists who all support a non-profit, learning how to drive public policy change by working with stakeholders in the policy world and learning about how make mental health the next big issue for CEOs and corporations.
I think it’ll be deeply meaningful and purposeful work – you will be at the epicenter of pioneering a new model for what a non-profit can look like, how it can operate like a tech company, and the kind of impact it can have in the world.
I think it’ll be the ride of a lifetime – getting to work with some of the most talented, genuinely interesting, and fun colleagues I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with in my career.
