Job Title: VP, Head of Business Management (Research Programs & Partnerships)  Position Summary:  The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research (“the Foundation”) is seeking top talent for its VP, Head of Business Management (Research Programs & Partnerships).  Reporting to the Chief Program Officer, this position leads portfolio planning, resource management, and performance oversight for the Research Programs & Partnerships (RPP) business unit, ensuring alignment with enterprise priorities and operating processes.

This role translates strategic priorities into measurable operating plans and provides the governance, analysis, and reporting needed to support prioritization, capacity planning, funding decisions, and organizational performance.  Serving as the business management counterpart to research executive leadership, this role drives integrated planning across programs, finance, systems, and operations to clarify trade-offs, optimize resource deployment, and support achievement of RPP and organizational objective key results (OKRs), and key performance indicators (KPIs).

The VP partners closely with the CPO, SVP, Head of Research Operations, and other organizational leaders to align business unit plans with enterprise goals.  Brought in to build and lead a team, this leader will first onboard and assess the existing RPP function and enterprise workflows, then make recommendations for an optimal team structure.  This position oversees business planning, portfolio governance, performance reporting, and resource management across the RPP business unit.

This role evaluates organizational capabilities, operating models, and workflows; identifies opportunities to improve effectiveness and scalability; and develops recommendations that strengthen transparency, accountability, and operational performance.

This position also leads and develops a team responsible for business management functions and builds the capabilities required to support the long-term needs of the business unit.  This position may be hybrid-flex with the opportunity to work out of the Foundation’s office in New York City or based remotely within the Eastern region of the United States.    Key Responsibilities:   Planning,
