Women's Health Collective Canada

Women’s Health Collective Canada (WHCC) is an alliance of three leading Canadian women’s hospital foundations formed to develop and solicit funds at a national level.

The WHCC recognizes that women’s health has continuously been underfunded, underserved, not researched, misdiagnosed, and misunderstood, and WHCC is here to change the status quo.

WHCC seeks to break the barriers holding us back from providing women with the knowledge and care they deserve as well as gain national attention for the health of women in Canada. By coming together, members are able to have exponentially greater impact than working alone.

The inaugural Executive Director (ED) role is a unique opportunity to build on the successes of the WHCC’s growing brand – and its exceptional members – and to expand WHCC in making a significant impact on the health of women, social justice, and equity.

Working closely with, and reporting directly to, the WHCC Board of Directors, the ED will be the primary fundraiser and spokesperson for the WHCC and continue to strengthen the WHCC business and operational capabilities. Working with member hospitals and programs across the country, the successful candidate will engage persuasively and confidently in the mandate of the WHCC to ensure the critical linkage between the WHCC and its member institutions is maintained.

This is an exciting opportunity for a fundraiser with a passion for women’s health and – ideally – a background in corporate giving to:

• Be the first employee of an essential new contributor to advancing and supporting women’s health;
• Leverage the strength, reputation, and connections of the three current and future member organizations to build WHCC’s capacity;
• Work independently and entrepreneurially to help shape WHCC’s great future;
• Engage with leading corporations across Canada – and their leaders – in an exciting and important health movement.
