The Commonwealth Fund — among the first private foundations started by a woman philanthropist, Anna M. Harkness — was established in 1918 with the broad charge to enhance the common good. Today, the mission of The Commonwealth Fund is to promote a high-performing health care system that achieves better access, improved quality, and greater efficiency, particularly for society’s most vulnerable, including low-income people, the uninsured, and people of color. The Fund carries out this mandate by supporting independent research on health care issues and making grants to improve health care practice and policy.
Our Values and Commitment to Equity
The Commonwealth Fund envisions a health care system that values and benefits all people equally — one that combats racism and pursues equity, in treatment and outcomes as well as in leadership and decision-making. We believe this requires an alliance of people and institutions across society working together to recognize and value the lived experience of all individuals; ensure the delivery of compassionate, affordable, quality health care; and strive for equitable outcomes for all.
We aspire to racial equity, diversity, and inclusion in how we work. We place great value on the varied backgrounds and experiences our staff bring to our organization and encourage employees to bring their full selves to the workplace. We look for talented, nimble, empathetic, and supportive team players who are ready to roll up their sleeves, create impactful change, and celebrate accomplishments.
General Position Description
Based in our NYC office and reporting to the Executive Vice President for Programs (EVP-Programs), the Administrative Assistant provides high-quality operational and administrative support to the EVPP as well as to all programs on an as-needed basis. The Administrative Assistant will be expected to perform a variety of duties ranging from scheduling, travel arrangements, correspondence, project management, grants management and other administrative responsibilities.
Specific Responsibilities
High School Diploma required with bachelor’s degree preferred. Minimum one-year of work experience preferred.
The Fund has a relatively small staff, and judgment, integrity, and the ability to listen with sensitivity to others are traits that are particularly important in an organization of the Fund’s size, where teamwork is essential to effectiveness. The ability to work collegially with a variety of Fund staff and interest in and strong commitment to the Fund’s mission and grants programs are key qualifications.
What We Offer
Commonwealth Fund employees receive competitive salaries and a generous benefit package designed to support their overall well-being. We also strive to create a diverse and inclusive workplace in line with our values and goals.
Employee benefits include: Best-in-class health care plan with comprehensive medical, hospital, and prescription drug coverage, along with a health reimbursement account, provided at no cost to employees and their dependents; vision coverage provided at nominal cost; 403(b) retirement plan featuring generous employer contributions that range from 11 percent to 20 percent of annual salary; retiree health benefits; tuition reimbursement and professional development support; generous time off to support employee work–life balance; hybrid work policy; half-day summer Fridays; comprehensive parental leave policies, with up to 12 weeks’ salary continuance; generous matching gifts program for charitable donation; disability and life insurance coverage at no cost.
