Full description
Men are dying too young – and it doesn’t have to be that way.
Around the world, men are facing a health crisis: prostate cancer, testicular cancer, poor mental health and suicide. At Movember we’re on a mission to change the face of men’s health by making it easier for men to talk, act and live longer healthier lives.
Every project, every campaign, every idea adds up to real change. You’ll be part of a mustache-powered crew who believe making an impact and having fun should go hand in hand. Your mission is calling.
DO GOOD - Work for Movember.
Your Mo-Mission (should you choose to accept it): Help turn bold ideas into real-world impact for young men’s mental health across the United States. You’ll lead the delivery of high-profile projects spanning sport, gaming, community and online settings, working with partners to take programs from planning through to evaluation.
In this role, you will:
- Lead the U.S. delivery of approved mental health projects, with an immediate focus on sports health programs and major event activations.
- Develop and manage project plans, timelines, budgets, risks and reporting.
- Coordinate delivery partners and ensure projects meet agreed milestones, budgets and KPIs.
- Manage partner contracts, expectations and performance, addressing issues or underperformance when required.
- Embed monitoring, evaluation and learning throughout project delivery.
- Adapt global implementation plans and frameworks for the U.S. market.
- Work closely with global and local teams across mental health, fundraising, partnerships and evaluation.
- Ensure the voices and needs of young men and their communities inform program delivery.
- Travel domestically or internationally approximately one to two times per year.
- Participate in occasional out-of-hours calls with global colleagues.

- At least four years of project management experience, specifically within health related or community programs sectors.
- Demonstrated experience delivering complex projects from planning through implementation and evaluation.
- Experience managing budgets, timelines, risks, contracts and measurable KPIs.
- Experience managing external delivery partners and addressing performance issues.
- Experience in contract management and negotiation.
- Experience using Asana or comparable project management platforms.
- Flexibility to work across U.S. and global time zones when required.
- Ability to travel domestically and internationally.
Not Mission Critical – but for bonus points:

- Experience within the nonprofit sector.
- Experience managing grants or funded delivery partners.
- Knowledge of organised or recreational sport settings.
- Experience delivering programs across large geographic areas.
GOOD CAUSE:
Working for Movember, you’ll help turn ideas (and moustaches) into millions for men’s health. Every bit we raise changes the face of men’s health by funding research, improving treatments, and supporting programs that help save lives
We’re even shaping government policies on men’s health worldwide. By meeting directly with lawmakers, and helping them understand how more investment on men’s health benefits not just men, but all the communities they serve.
GOOD VIBES:
We love weekends. That’s why our Fridays finish early for nine months of the year. But we also love our office vibe. Because here, it always feels like something big is about to happen. Be it an office-wide surprise birthday party (with cake!) or an open invite for all to hit the pub.
Come the hairy season, the energy cranks up. We’re talking celebrity visits. Live stunts on-site for TV and radio. And when we hit a fundraising milestone, the office gong might even go off. But, for those who prefer calm, no probs: hybrid working means you work where you feel best.
GOOD CREW:
Spoiler alert: we’re a no-ego, all-impact crew. That means everyone gets a say, from new starters to those leading the charge. Collaboration over hierarchies, curiosity over rigid process. And it’s true across all our offices worldwide. We work as one, sharing expertise and celebrating wins. All in the name of making the biggest impact across the globe. United, we Mo.
We offer:
- Health insurance, vision, dental benefits and 401k
- Free Headspace subscription and Employee Assistance Program
- 20 vacation days per year
- Relaxed dress code
- Fun and collaborative culture
- Free breakfast & coffee bar
Boy, do we know the feeling of being judged. (Over how we look, and other things that shouldn’t matter.) Being different is how we started. And it’s also helped us raise $1 billion for men’s health. So, we know the power of diverse experiences, skills and perspectives.
Movember is committed to promoting a diverse and inclusive community and workplace - a place where we can all be ourselves, and each have the equal opportunity to succeed and be recognised for our unique contribution. We value the experiences, skills and perspectives of all individuals and actively encourage applications from people with diverse backgrounds. We make recruitment decisions based on applicants’ skills, experience, and knowledge, ensuring all applicants are treated fairly. Reasonable accommodations are also available on request for differently abled candidates taking part in all aspects of the selection process.
