The Aspen Leadership Group is proud to partner with the Lucile
Packard Foundation for Children’s Health in the search for a Senior
Vice President for Strategic Communications.
Reporting to the President and Chief Executive Officer, the Senior
Vice President of Strategic Communications will ensure that
communications is a strategic function embedded in all of the
Foundation’s work, and that the Foundation’s approach to
communications will be transformative and a catalyst for change,
providing fresh and innovative communication tools for its internal
and external constituencies.
The Senior Vice President will be a thought leader and key
strategic advisor to the Foundation’s President, senior leadership,
and board, and will be charged with creating a clear strategic
communications strategy that will position the Foundation as
an indispensable partner on children’s health, both in its work to
raise philanthropic support and in its Programs and Partnerships
department. The Senior Vice President will promote and protect the
Foundation’s brand and reputation among external and internal
constituents and ensure strategic alignment among all
communications deployed across multiple platforms and audiences.
The Senior Vice President will also support and build momentum and
develop the case and supporting collateral for the Foundation’s
current fundraising campaign.
This senior leader will serve on the Foundation’s executive team as
the expert on strategic communications and will use strategies to
advance the Foundation’s philanthropic priorities, help to expand
engagement, particularly with current and prospective large gift
donors to garner financial support for maternal and pediatric care
and research in partnership with Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital
and the Stanford School of Medicine.
The Lucile Packard Foundation for Children's Health, a wholly
independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, works to improve the
health and well-being of children and expectant mothers by
fundraising on behalf of Lucile Packard Children's Hospital
Stanford and the child and maternal health programs at Stanford
University School of Medicine.
Opened in 1991, Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford is the
heart and soul of Stanford Children’s Health. Nationally ranked and
internationally recognized, the 361-bed hospital is devoted
entirely to pediatrics and obstetrics. Its centers provide
comprehensive services and deep expertise in key obstetric and
pediatric areas: brain and behavior, cancer, heart, pregnancy and
newborn, pulmonary, orthopedics and sports medicine, and
transplant. It also provides an additional, wide range of services
for babies, children, and pregnant mothers.
Stanford University School of Medicine is a premier
research-intensive medical school that improves health through
leadership, collaborative discoveries, and innovation. The School
of Medicine consistently ranks among the nation’s top 10 medical
schools, integrating research, medical education, patient care, and
community service.
The Lucile Packard Foundation for Children’s Health believes that a
workforce comprised of people from different backgrounds and
experiences makes it better at what it does. The collective sum of
the individual differences, life experiences, knowledge,
innovation, self-expression, unique capabilities, and talent that
the Foundation team brings to its work and the workplace represents
a significant part of not only its culture, but the Foundation’s
reputation as well. The Foundation’s diversity initiatives are
reflected in its practices and policies on recruitment and
selection, compensation and benefits, professional development,
training, promotions, transfers, social and recreational programs,
layoffs, terminations, and the ongoing development of a work
environment built on the premise of gender and diversity equity
that encourages and supports teamwork and employee
participation.

public affairs, journalism or related fields, including managing
others. All applications must be accompanied by a cover letter and
