We are seeking a Senior Director of the KP (Kaiser Permanente) Center for Gun Violence Research and Education who will work alongside the Executive Director to implement the KP Center’s strategic plan and oversee operational development, growth, and efficiency.
Position Description:

Kaiser Permanente, the nation’s largest integrated, nonprofit health care provider, has been working to end gun violence for more than a decade.
