Vice President for Philanthropy (Remote Location)

Aspen Leadership Group is proud to partner with the Human
Immunome Project (HIP) in the search for a Vice President for
Philanthropy.

Reporting to the Chief Executive Officer, the Vice President for
Philanthropy will work with the Chief Executive Officer and Board
of Directors to maintain and grow HIP’s existing portfolio of
industry and foundation donors and prospects while building a
pipeline of individual major funders. As HIP puts its
Scientific Strategic Plan into action, it is seeking a
Vice President for Philanthropy to work closely with HIP leaders as
they build the resources needed to complete a worldwide health
resource that will change the paradigm of global human health. This
is a remote position with a preference for the Northeast or Midwest
(Metropolitan Chicago). Travel is required, for this position
(approximately 25% domestic with one to two international trips
annually).

The Human Immunome Project is a global nonprofit organization
dedicated to decoding and modeling the immune system. Together with
its network of partners, HIP is pioneering the next frontier in
health and medicine. HIP envisions a future that harnesses the
power of the immune system to improve health for all. A future
where life expectancy and access to lifesaving preventative care,
diagnostics, and treatment are not dependent on your race or
ethnicity, where you live or your socioeconomic status. A future
where pandemics can be stopped in their tracks, and we can beat
infectious and non-communicable diseases alike.

The human immune system is one of the most complex systems in the
world—and one of its most important. It determines whether we
survive infancy, which diseases we get, how we age, and how long we
live. Within it lies the secrets of who will respond, and how, to
potential threats to our health. Understanding our immune system is
the key to fighting disease and improving health for all. Yet its
complexity has limited our ability to tap into its potential—until
now. Recent advances in AI provide the tools to rapidly process the
trillions of datapoints required to model the immune system,
understand how it varies across individuals, and develop targeted
approaches to elongating health spans and combatting disease. The
Human Immunome Project was designed to meet this moment—to combine
systems biology with the power of artificial intelligence, to
decode and model the immune system to improve health for all.

The Human Immunome Project welcomed new leadership in 2023 with Dr.
Hans Keirstead assuming the role of Chief Executive Officer.
Throughout the year, work continued alongside the Scientific
Steering Committee, led by Dr. John Tsang and Dr. Shai Shen-Orr to
articulate a global study protocol and scaling strategy to generate
the world’s largest immunological dataset and build publicly
available AI models of the immune system. With the release of the
Scientific Strategic Plan, HIP 2.0 was launched and began
to execute on an actionable strategy to transform the future of
global health.

A bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education and
experience and at least seven years of experience is preferred for
this role, including at least three years of experience in
healthcare, hospital, or medical related philanthropy. The Human
Immunome Project will consider candidates with a broad range of
backgrounds. If you are excited about this role and feel that you
can contribute to HIP, but your experience does not exactly align
with every qualification listed above, we encourage you to apply.
All applications must be accompanied by a cover letter and résumé.
Cover letters should be responsive to the mission of the Human
Immunome Project as well as the responsibilities and qualifications
presented in the prospectus.

The salary range for this position is $150,000 to $175,000
annually.

The Human Immunome Project is committed to the inclusion of all
qualified candidates. If you require reasonable accommodation in
completing this application, interviewing, or participating in the
selection process, please contact Jeanette Rivera-Watts at jeanetterw@aspenleadershipgroup.com.
