Director, Program Influence, Health
for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones.
We have Pay: "Hiring Range : $175,000 - $210,000." That's specific, so we should include Pay section.
Schedule: "Work Schedule : This role is based in the Foundation's New York Office and is required to be in the office on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays." That's specific, include Schedule.
Benefits: The posting mentions benefits: "The Rockefeller Foundation offers a comprehensive and competitive benefits package that includes health insurance programs, tuition reimbursement and student loan repayment, a generous 401K, parental leave, and various forms of paid time off". Also later "Benefits found in job post 401(k), Medical insurance". So we have benefits content, include Benefits section.
We need to avoid duplication. Also we need to include About the role? The "Position Overview" could be considered About the role. Use heading "About the role". Provide prose.
Responsibilities: "Principal Duties And Responsibilities" -> heading "Responsibilities". Use
- for each duty.
Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: The "Education, Experience, And Skills" section includes education, experience, skills. Could split into Requirements (education, experience) and Skills, but we can combine into one section maybe "Qualifications". However the instruction: Use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can decide to have Requirements (education, experience) and Skills separate. But we need to avoid thin sections. Might combine Education, Experience, And Skills into a single "Qualifications" section with lists for education, experience, skills. Or we could have Requirements (education + experience) and Skills separate. Let's see content: Education: Bachelor's degree in a relevant field. Experience: 10+ years of strategic communications, policy, and advocacy experience. Strong understanding of international public health, preferably experience with international health orgs. Experience working with or in low- and middle-income countries. Ability to manage multiple workstreams and stakeholders in a fast-paced, matrixed environment. Exceptional stakeholder engagement and coalition-building skills; comfortable working with senior leaders and external partners. Experience managing complex initiatives, with multiple vendors and stakeholders. Ability to translate complex technical concepts into compelling stories and narratives, with strong command of the new media environment (social, podcasts, creator and influencer channels, and emerging digital platforms). Proven exceptional writing, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills, and professional presence. Skilled in media relations, digital strategy, and content creation. Experience in handling sensitive information, including crisis management. At ease navigating between nonprofit, government, and corporate sectors, globally, with an emphasis on Asia, Africa, Latin America, as well as the United States. Self-motivated, creative, and entrepreneurial, with a strong work ethic. Experience designing and leading high-profile convenings and events preferred, and representing an organization at external forums.
That's a mix of experience and skills. Could treat as Requirements (education + experience) and Skills separate. But many of those are skills. Might be better to have a single "Qualifications" section with bullet list covering all. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we have: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Competencies, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. That's 6 sections. Could also include About The Rockefeller Foundation as separate? That's more about the organization, not required but could be included as "About the organization". However the instruction list didn't include that but we can include if substantive. It's about the foundation. Could be included as a section maybe "About the Rockefeller Foundation". But we need to avoid too many thin sections. It's substantive though. Could include as a paragraph under About the role? But it's separate. Might be okay to include as a separate section "About the Rockefeller Foundation". However the instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. It didn't forbid other headings, but we should follow the pattern. Probably better to incorporate the foundation description into About the role or as a brief paragraph. But the instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could combine the foundation description into About the role section.
Thus sections: About the role (includes Position Overview + About The Rockefeller Foundation). Responsibilities (Principal Duties). Qualifications (Education, Experience, And Skills). Competencies (list). Benefits. Pay. Schedule.
We need to use
for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For competencies, also a list. For benefits, list.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all bullet points from responsibilities, qualifications, competencies, benefits.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, etc. We removed that.
We need to ensure we don't include duplicated lines.
Let's extract content.
Position Overview paragraph: "The Program Influence team helps advance The Rockefeller Foundation's programmatic “Big Bets” and strategic priorities by using communications, policy, and advocacy as tools for influence — translating program strategy and evidence into public narrative, policy engagement, and stakeholder mobilization that strengthen the Foundation's institutional narrative. The Director, Program Influence, Health spends roughly 85% of their time on Health program priorities and 15% on cross-program and institutional work. Reporting to the SVP, Program Integration, with secondary reporting lines to the SVP, Health and SVP, Strategic Communications, the Director, Program Influence operates as a hands-on individual contributor, delivering results through close partnership with program leadership, fellow Program Influencers, and institutional colleagues in Communications."
That's prose.
About The Rockefeller Foundation paragraph: "The Rockefeller Foundation is a pioneering philanthropy built on collaborative partnerships at the frontiers of science, technology, and innovation that enable individuals, families, and communities to flourish. We make big bets to promote the well-being of humanity in food, health, energy, and finance, including through our public charity, RF Catalytic Capital (RFCC). For more information, sign up for our newsletter at www.rockefellerfoundation.org/subscribe and follow us on X @RockefellerFdn and LinkedIn @the-rockefeller-foundation . The Rockefeller Foundation offers a comprehensive and competitive benefits package that includes health insurance programs, tuition reimbursement and student loan repayment, a generous 401K, parental leave, and various forms of paid time off, all to help our employees feel energized, cared for, and engaged. As an organization, we focus on six values to advance our culture and continue our success. We are dedicated to being Transparent, Optimistic, Accountable, Collaborative, Trusted, and Equitable. We expect all employees at the Foundation to contribute by developing their unique perspectives and talent, challenging conventional wisdom through evidence and reason, and amplifying marginalized voices."
We could incorporate the benefits part into Benefits section, but the paragraph also includes benefits description. We'll extract benefits list later.
Now Responsibilities: list of duties (each sentence seems a duty). Let's list them:
- Develop and execute an evidence-based program influence strategy — identifying priority audiences and building outreach and engagement plans that advance program objectives, expand media engagement, and deepen public, private, and philanthropic investor interest.
- Partner with program leads to surface proof points and impact stories, and pipeline them to Communications and Policy on a standing cadence so the institutional narrative stays credible, current, and grounded in programmatic impact.
- Craft a unifying external narrative for the program that amplifies its impact and builds on the Foundation’s institutional message architecture, which the Communications team manages, translating complex program work into persuasive messaging for policymakers, partners, and philanthropic audiences.
- Lead the identification and execution of strategic convenings and tent-pole moments, and represent the Foundation and its leadership at regional, global, and multilateral events.
- Advance the program’s ideas, solutions, and partnerships by working through institutional channels — Communications, Policy & Advocacy, Connected Leaders, and the media accelerator — rather than building parallel capacity, coordinating closely with fellow Program Influence colleagues so strategies are built together rather than in isolation.
- Partner with the Communications team to develop the program’s annual channel and content plan — priorities, formats, and platforms — and execute against it. Use audience insight and analytics to track reach, recognition, and influence, and refine the plan with Communications accordingly.
- Work within institutional editorial standards, message architecture, prioritization, voice, and visual identity across all program content and channels.
- Help shape where the Health program’s evidence base can be most persuasive with policymakers, and work with regional teams to monitor policy risk and validate impact claims before they are used externally.
- Serve as a thought partner to program leadership on narrative positioning, and contribute to cross-Foundation learning on storytelling, audience engagement, and influence.
- Oversee a project management system tracking milestones and deliverables, contribute to Board-level materials as needed, and select and manage grantees, consultants, and vendors.
- Support colleagues on other programs and institutional projects as assigned, deliver against annual goals covering both the program’s Big Bet objectives and the coherence of its narrative with the institutional story, set jointly with Program Strategy and Communications, and participate in the weekly institutional communications meeting, applying the Foundation’s communications playbook to decisions about what the Foundation says publicly.
That's 11 bullet points.
