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):

As Director, U.S. Men’s Mental Health, you will provide senior leadership and oversight of mental health strategy and delivery in the United States (U.S.), leading a significant portfolio of programs and partnerships with approximately $10–15 million in investment.

Working as part of a U.S.-based, cross-functional leadership team, your focus will be on both program design and delivery, strong people leadership, and ensuring impact at scale.

Lead the U.S. mental health portfolio

• Lead and oversee Movember’s U.S. mental health portfolio, spanning multiple initiatives, partners, and delivery models

• Ensure programs are delivered with quality, consistency, and impact, aligned to approved plans and funding

• Champion equity and the voices of people with lived and living experience

• Provide clear direction, prioritisation, and oversight across a complex suite of programs rather than individual projects

Senior leadership and people management

• Lead and develop a small, high-performing team of approximately four direct reports

• Set clear expectations, provide strong leadership presence, and support performance, engagement, and wellbeing

• Work closely with senior U.S. and global leaders to ensure alignment and effective ways of working

Program governance, delivery, and investment oversight

• Hold accountability for large-scale program budgets, financial management, risk, and reporting

• Ensure programs are operationally sound, evidence-informed, well governed, and delivering against agreed outcomes

• Strengthen implementation discipline, learning from previous delivery challenges and embedding continuous improvement

Cross-functional and external leadership

• Build and maintain strong relationships with delivery partners, academic partners, and other key stakeholders across the U.S. mental health ecosystem

• Represent Movember externally as a senior leader in mental health

• Collaborate with fundraising, impact, and corporate teams to support sustainable investment and partnerships

Strategic contribution without portfolio siloing

• Contribute to broader organisational strategy by identifying opportunities to strengthen U.S. mental health impact

• Work alongside global and market leaders to ensure coherence across initiatives

• Support alignment to Movember’s overall strategy while maintaining a strong U.S. delivery focus

No Mustache required - but the following are essential:

• Minimum 10 years’ experience in mental health, including at least 5 years in a senior leadership role

• Demonstrated leadership of large, complex, multi-year mental health programs with significant investment or scale

• Strong background in practical program delivery in government, NFP, health, or consulting

• Proven accountability for program budgets, financial oversight, and risk management

• Experience leading and influencing within complex, cross-functional or matrix environments

• Track record of building and managing external partnerships across sectors such as health, community, sport, or government

• Ability to translate strategy and evidence into clear, operational delivery plans and execute them effectively

• Experience leading, managing, and developing multidisciplinary teams

• Demonstrated ability to represent an organisation externally as a senior leader or spokesperson

• Ability to work a minimum of 2-3 days per week based in our Santa Monica office.

Not mission-critical - but bonus points if you bring:

• Experience within men’s mental health, including oversight of programs, teams, or portfolios focused on male populations

• Experience overseeing large mental health portfolios rather than single programs

• Familiarity with the U.S. mental health system, funding environments, or large-scale service delivery

• Familiarity with evaluation, learning, and/or theory of change applied in real-world program delivery

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 + 5 paid Mo days over our end of year closure

• 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.

If so, we’d love to hear from you.
