Take on a high-impact role as an institutional change agent at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA (DGSOM). As the youngest top-10 medical school in the nation, we are a groundbreaking community of problem solvers, healers, innovators and life-long learners with a noble mission: To heal humankind through leading-edge research, education, patient care, and community engagement.

The DGSOM is entering its second phase of its multi-year culture-change program: The Cultural North Star (CNS). The Cultural North Star Program Lead offers a unique opportunity to advance mission-driven change at one of the nation’s most prestigious and influential centers of academic excellence, biomedical discovery and clinical research advancement.

This will involve designing and executing new, evidence-based projects and campaigns grounded in the Cultural North Star values. You will develop and execute high-priority, data-driven projects that will drive CNS skill-building and professional development; accountability and transparency; marketing and communications; recruitment; and equity, diversity and inclusion. These projects will span the academic and research enterprise and will require partnership and consistent communication with faculty, staff, trainees and leaders. You will report to the Director of Strategic Initiatives while collaborating closely with DGSOM’s Portfolio Management Office; Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Office; and Anti-racism Roadmap team.
