Program Officer

The Richard K. Lubin Family Foundation was established in 1986. Since its inception, the Foundation has been dedicated to enhancing the quality of life in the Greater Boston region. The Foundation is committed to grantmaking that creates positive changes in education, medical research and clinical care, and the arts and culture.

The Foundation is governed by an active and engaged board, largely of family members As the capacity of its grantmaking has grown, the Board has recognized the need to hire a professional team that can support an ambitious grantmaking program.

Reporting to the Executive Director, the Program Officer will facilitate the work of the Medical Research and Clinical Care Committee. For many years the Foundation has been a strong supporter of Boston’s medical institutions. In 2022, it launched the Lubin Family Foundation Scholar Award which supports early career physician-scientists that show potential as future leaders in cancer research. As a key member of our small, collaborative team, the role also includes working closely with Trustees, and grantees. It calls for flexibility and strong skills in grantmaking, relationship-building, and facilitating Board engagement.

The Foundation seeks a committed, versatile professional who enjoys playing many roles, someone who is both detail-oriented and eager to build systems and structures, while also helping to shape new initiatives and steward grantee relationships. This is a great opportunity to contribute meaningfully to a small, mission-driven, high-performing team.

Jack Gorman is leading this search with Kahn Lee and Sandeep Kaur.
