Program Administrator – Weill Cancer Hub (Hybrid)

Stanford University is seeking a Program Administrator to support the Weill Cancer Hub West, a high-profile $200 million cancer research partnership between Stanford University, UCSF, and the Weill Family Foundation, intended to transform cancer care within a decade.

This position will provide administrative support to research project teams, manage administrative and financial analysis and reporting to Weill Cancer Hub West leadership, plan and execute high-profile convenings, and develop and implement Hub communication plans. This is a highly collaborative position, necessitating close coordination with many stakeholders at both Stanford and UCSF including but not limited to executive leadership, finance, development, communications, and research project teams. The Program Administrator will be expected to quickly build and maintain close working relationships within and across institutions.

The Program Administrator will be part of the Stanford Cancer Institute (SCI). The SCI earned its most recent comprehensive cancer center designation by the NCI in 2022, and is a prominent, growing and complex Institute within Stanford Medicine. Cancer clinical research is integrated throughout Stanford Medicine which is comprised of Stanford School of Medicine and our adult and pediatric health systems – Stanford Health Care and Stanford Children’s Health. The SCI actively works to build synergies and collaborations across Stanford Medicine. Given the SCI’s mission, breadth, and depth, we thrive in a fast-paced, team-oriented, and forward-thinking environment with tremendous opportunities for personal and professional growth. You will be working with a leading-edge community of faculty and staff who are fundamentally changing the world of health care in the cancer arena.
