Role Description

This NON-PAID philanthropic board member would be our Chief Technology Officer (CTO). This position is purely philanthropic and is for an executive who wants to give back and likely has experienced the cancer journey with a friend or loved one. Nonprofit board members give of their time, talent, and treasure. We have a "working board," meaning our board members are involved in our operations, donating an average of 5 hours per week. We do have a donation requirement because our funders (including grant foundations) require that our board be donors to the organization before they will provide grants.

Are you a Chief Technology Officer looking for the challenge of taking a nimble nonprofit with an essential and noble purpose to its next level of success? Are you always looking for ways to create effective, efficient, and innovative software built on a solid foundation? Do you enjoy working with developers and stakeholders to learn about a product's vision and current status and then taking that information to figure out how to improve the way software gets built? Do you enjoy building and driving effective processes into a technology organization? Do you love thinking about challenging software architecture problems that can make a technology organization more efficient? Then this just may be the opportunity for you. You will also be working with two Chief Information Security Officers on our board.

Company Description

Here to Serve ( a 501 (c) (3) charity, provides coordinated non-medical support programs and resources for the parent(s) with children battling cancer from the point of diagnosis throughout treatment. 60% of the cancer journey happens in the home without coordinated support. Here to Serve fills this healthcare gap.

We believe a child or young parent’s cancer diagnosis is a life-altering “journey.” For that reason, the care and support of families is required to prevent caregivers from losing their health, home, and job, and entering into bankruptcy. Therefore, we provide non-medical wraparound services to meet the daily living needs of families and caregivers navigating their child’s cancer.

Cancer is a three-legged stool, not two! Research, Treatment, AND Journey! The journey is as profound and consequential as cancer research and hospitals that treat cancer. Therefore, a family's cancer "journey" requires the same awareness, support, and funding as cancer research and hospitals that treat cancer. Of the billions of dollars of funding for cancer, only .001% is provided to families with children actually battling cancer!

Flexible work from home options available.
