Manager, Workforce Mental Health

Project Healthy Minds is a mental health nonprofit that runs like a tech startup. We are pioneering a first-of-its-kind model: applying technology to address one of the biggest social issues of our time: the growing mental health crisis. We believe in a simple but profound idea: that it should be as easy to find mental health services as it is to book a flight or a restaurant reservation. That’s why we’re building the world’s first digital marketplace for finding mental health services that are right for you.

To do that, we work with some of the most inspiring and influential leaders in America — business titans, tech entrepreneurs, clinicians and scientists, musicians, artists, athletes, media stars, policymakers, and more — because we believe that the world’s most complex challenges require interdisciplinary teams and solutions.

We are backed by a powerhouse of industry-leading Board of Directors and Advisory Council Members who are passionate, hands-on, and dive into the important work with us.

Workforce mental health is one of the defining business and human issues of our time. The American workforce is exhausted, burned out, and disengaged — and most employers still treat mental health as a benefits checkbox rather than a performance lever. Project Healthy Minds is building the body of work that changes that, anchored by the Corporate Coalition: a first-of-its-kind, employer-driven research initiative bringing together top executives, companies and researchers to build the first standardized measurement framework for workforce mental health.

We are looking for a Manager to help build and scale PHM’s workforce mental health portfolio. You will be the day-to-day operator behind the Corporate Coalition, the connective tissue across our employer programs, and a driving force in shaping where this work goes next — new initiatives, new partners, new programming, new ideas. This role reports to the Director of Advocacy.

This is not a behind-the-scenes role. You will sit in front of CHROs and their teams, host roundtables, draft toolkits, push research forward, and carry the standard for how PHM shows up for the country’s most ambitious employers. This is a chance to help build the most ambitious workforce mental health initiative in the country — alongside the most thoughtful CHROs in America, leading researchers, and a team that ships.

• Run the day-to-day of the Corporate Coalition — own the relationship with each member company across communications, research, and employee engagement.

• Help shape and launch the next layer of PHM’s workforce mental health programs — new convenings, content, research collaborations, and employer-facing offerings.

• Run the cadence that keeps it all moving: bi-weekly comms calls, quarterly roundtables, monthly content drops, and our two flagship moments each year (Mental Health Awareness Month in May and World Mental Health Day in October).

• Coordinate across PHM (product, comms, advocacy), Harvard Business School, and our external PR partners to keep workstreams aligned and on schedule.

• Translate complex research and data into clear, useful materials for member companies, their employees, and the broader employer community.

• Build and ship turnkey resources: leadership announcement toolkits, employee engagement campaigns, manager talking points, expert webinars, social assets, op-eds, and more.

• Recruit and onboard new Coalition members and partners as the work expands.

• Track outcomes, measure what’s working, and bring sharp judgment to what should change.

We are open to a range of backgrounds. You may come from one (or more) of these worlds:

You will help build the most ambitious workforce mental health initiative in the country — alongside the most thoughtful CHROs in America, Harvard’s leading researchers, and a team that ships. You will see your work translate into employee experiences at scale, executive decisions, headlines, and policy. And you will do it on a small, sharp team where what you ship is what gets shipped.
