The Aspen Leadership Group is proud to partner with Invincikids
in the search for an Executive Director.
Working closely with the Board of Directors, the Executive Director
will provide leadership to Invincikids and build upon the solid
groundwork laid by the founding team. The next six months is a
critical phase for Invincikids and the Executive Director will play
a key role in executing on the mission and vision of the
organization, successfully scaling Invincikids while upholding its
values and positioning the organization for long-term success. The
Executive Director will lead Invincikids’ fundraising efforts and
serve as the chief spokesperson for the organization, and will
contribute meaningfully to the strategic plan while managing the
day-to-day operations of the organization. At this time, this is a
remote position that requires flexibility for travel, particularly
to the San Francisco Bay area.
Invincikids is a startup non-profit with a mission to increase the
access and use of immersive technologies for pain management in
children all over the world. With the organization and
infrastructure in place and a first round of funding closed,
Invincikids is ready to scale globally through hospitals,
foundations, technology partners, and other non-profits. It has a
well-laid out roadmap and has already begun building key strategic
relationships. All it needs now is an experienced and passionate
Executive Director to refine and execute on its roadmap and
strategic plan, while also bringing their own vision and ideas to
the table.
Invincikids was born out of the Stanford Chariot Program. Founded
in 2015 by pediatric anesthesiologists who had developed expertise
in using technology to distract children prior to surgery, the
Stanford Chariot Program set out to reduce pain, fear, and the need
for anesthesia in children receiving medical treatments in the
Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital at Stanford. By focusing on
research, software development, and hardware customization, the
Stanford Chariot Program quickly became successful at developing
and delivering a range of clinical immersive technology experiences
for pediatric patients.
With a growing community of hospitals utilizing the software and
customized hardware, the Invincikids non-profit was established in
2019 to accelerate worldwide distribution and adoption of clinical
immersive technology experiences for pediatric patients. While
Stanford Chariot continues to focus on institutional research and
developing cutting edge software and hardware modifications,
Invincikids will leverage the technology and expertise, through an
exclusive license and close ties with Stanford, to build out a
distribution and knowledge hub to engage and support a wide network
of healthcare providers, hospitals, and strategic partners.
Invincikids is deeply committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion
in its mission, work, and in the culture of the organization. Core
to the Invincikids mission is equitable access to its technologies
and solutions –Invincikids exists to make immersive technologies
equally available to anyone, anywhere in the world irrespective of
geography, background, or ability to pay. It also strives to bring
in a DEI lens to designing and developing its technology solutions
to ensure that they do not create barriers for any patients and are
inclusive and representative of the diverse representation seen in
the patient community and providers.
A bachelor's degree is required for this position as is at least
five years of leadership experience within a non-profit, technology
startup, and/or other relevant organization. All applications must
be accompanied by a cover letter and résumé. Cover letters should
