Deputy Director
ElevAAte Biotech is advancing the leadership pipeline for East Asian Americans in U.S. biopharma. We run high-impact programming for senior executives, investors, and operators — and we're growing. We're hiring a Deputy Director to serve as the Executive Director's right hand and organizational backbone. This is a senior role with real ownership: programs, operations, and the work that keeps a high-performing nonprofit moving. What you'll own:
- Program management across ElevAAte's flagship events and initiatives
- Operational systems and infrastructure that enable the org to scale
- Strategic projects and communications in support of the ED
How You'll Contribute Organizational Strategy & ED Support
- Serve as a thought partner to the ED on organizational priorities, programming, and growth
- Help develop and execute ElevAAte's annual plan and long-term strategy
Programs & Events
- Own end-to-end design and quality of ElevAAte's programming — multi-day leadership retreats, regional gatherings, research reports
- Ensure events reflect ElevAAte's brand and serve a senior biotech audience
- Manage volunteers and contractors supporting program delivery
- Develop frameworks to evaluate program impact and community growth
Fundraising Support
- Help develop sponsorship proposals and materials
- Maintain donor and sponsor tracking in Salesforce and support follow-through on the ED's development pipeline
Operations
- Oversee day-to-day operations and internal systems, including Salesforce
- Ensure the organization has the structure, tools, and clarity to execute
- Help build ElevAAte's capacity as it scales — people, processes, and infrastructure
While this role is remote, we have a preference for candidates based in California, and some travel for events is expected.
Qualifications
- 6–10 years in nonprofit leadership, program management, operations, or a related field
- Track record managing complex projects and senior relationships
- Strong written and verbal communication skills; comfortable with executive-level audiences
- Experience in fundraising, partnerships, or business development a plus; Salesforce or similar CRM experience helpful
- Background in biopharma, life sciences, or Asian American communities preferred
