Chief Executive Officer (Remote)

The Diabetes Link is a national 501c3 non-profit organization, whose mission is to empower young adults with diabetes (YAs) to thrive by providing open access to peer communities and connections, YA-relevant education and access resources, and professional development and advocacy opportunities. Our vision is a future where all young adults are equipped and inspired to live confidently and courageously with diabetes.

This means we:

• Care about what YAs care about
• Think about what YAs should know about
• Talk to YAs in their own language
• Are in the places where YAs already are
• Are a trusted partner for YAs across the country.

The Diabetes Link’s Founder, Christina Roth, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 14. She started the first Diabetes Link (previously College Diabetes Network) chapter in 2009 and received 501c3 non-profit status in 2010. Today, The Diabetes Link is a national organization serving thousands of students and their ecosystem of family, friends, and healthcare providers. In 2022, the organization expanded its mission to be inclusive of the over 700,000 young adults in the US with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes from age 18 to 30. Our core open-access programs include peer communities and connections, YA-relevant educational and access resources, and professional development and advocacy opportunities. 

We are a virtual organization with a physical location in Boston, MA with a talented staff of 13 employees and 17 contractors that work to help support all our key programs and select areas of operations.  

We are seeking a visionary leader to serve as our Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Ideal applicants should have experience as a trusted and inspiring non-profit executive leader, with experience in the diabetes sector and demonstrated connections to industry and strategic partners.
