Head of Community (San Francisco)

Coethia's chapter model is how we build a sustained, credentialed presence in the healthcare community. Chapters are based at universities and health professional schools, led by students in medicine, public health, nursing, pharmacy, and allied health fields. The Head of Community will own this network end to end: setting the strategy for chapter growth, building the systems that keep dozens of university chapters coordinated and active, and developing the leaders who run them.

This role is built for someone who has organized large, distributed groups of people around a mission before, whether that's field organizing, campus organizing, volunteer or member networks, or grassroots movement building. You'll be the connective tissue between our executive team and every chapter in the network, so you should be as comfortable designing a recruitment funnel while managing members nationally.

• Build and own the strategy for identifying and recruiting prospective chapter leads at target universities and health professional schools
• Design scalable outreach systems to reach student leaders across medical, public health, nursing, pharmacy, and allied health programs
• Own the full pipeline: tracking, prioritization, and conversion from prospect to active chapter lead

• Design and continuously improve Coethia's onboarding process for new chapter leads, including orientation materials, platform setup, and expectations
• Serve as the senior point of contact for chapter leads, especially during onboarding and early activation
• Build training programs and leadership development pathways so chapter leads grow into stronger organizers over time

• Coordinate workflows and communication across every active university chapter, keeping the network aligned and moving together
• Monitor chapter health and engagement, identify gaps early, and bring solutions (not just problems) to the executive team
• Build a genuine community among chapter leads through regular touchpoints, shared resources, and peer connection
• Develop chapter-facing materials including guides, templates, and toolkits, and refine them based on what's actually working in the field

• Experience organizing or managing large, distributed groups of people toward a shared goal, ideally in nonprofit organizing, grassroots or field organizing, campus organizing, membership-based movements, or similar mission-driven community work
• A track record of building recruitment or outreach systems from scratch, not just running someone else's playbook. Formal recruiter experience appreciated
• Strong interpersonal and written communication skills, with the ability to build trust quickly across a wide range of people and institutions
• Highly organized and self-directed; comfortable owning a multi-university network without close supervision
• Genuine interest in health communication, misinformation, or the intersection of healthcare and social media
• Familiarity with university or health professional communities is a strong plus

Competitive salary, commensurate with experience.
