Pediatric Academic Societies

Part-time, Remote Position

The Pediatric Academic Societies (PAS) seeks an astute and visionary leader to serve as the part-time Executive Director, the chief executive officer of the PAS, to provide strategic acumen as well as a vision for the organization’s impact on pediatric health worldwide. This is a unique opportunity to grow and develop the academic and research meeting for pediatrics.

The PAS serves as a platform for pediatric researchers, educators, clinicians, and other professionals to share knowledge, collaborate on research projects, and advance the field of pediatrics. It organizes an annual meeting with about 8,000 attendees across 60+ pediatric and academic pediatric specialties, with 35 organizations represented. The PAS meeting is one of the largest global gatherings of pediatric professionals, where attendees can present research findings, participate in workshops and seminars, and engage in networking opportunities.

In 2018, PAS became its own 501(c)3, and it has expanded significantly, developing a new strategic plan and launching new and expanded educational programs, collaborations, and awards. The incoming Executive Director will capitalize on this momentum to propel PAS to its next era of excellence.

Reporting to the PAS Board of Directors, the Executive Director acts as the chief executive officer of the PAS and is tasked with supporting the ambitions of the organization. This leader will implement the new strategic plan and enhance the reach, value proposition, and constituent engagement of the PAS. The Executive Director is fiscally responsible for the PAS by aligning processes with standards to ensure organizational sustainability. The incoming Executive Director will steward board relations, ensure productive and transparent relationships between The Partner organizations, and lead and inspire a talented and diverse staff under a unique shared services model. This Executive Director will promote the PAS and influence partnerships and opportunities to increase brand awareness and to advance the vision and strategic priorities of the organization in pursuit of a world with healthy children, adolescents, and families through advances in pediatric scholarship.
