About the WHSP Institute
The Women's Health, Sports & Performance Institute is dedicated to improving the health, performance, and long‑term well‑being of female athletes. We believe that optimal health and optimal performance go hand in hand. Our mission is to inspire, empower, educate, and convene researchers, clinicians, and the broader sports community to advance our understanding of female athlete health and performance.
As a growing, mission‑driven organization, WHSP turns research‑backed insights into practical knowledge that athletes, coaches, athletic trainers, clinicians, parents, and sports organizations can use to improve health and performance. The Institute houses a state‑of‑the‑art physiology laboratory, a high‑performance gym with 3D biomechanical analysis capabilities, a research‑grade metabolic kitchen, and dedicated research space, and partners with leading universities, sports organizations, and governing bodies to deliver peer‑reviewed science, clinician education, and field‑shaping best practices.
Position Overview
WHSP Institute is seeking a Director of Outreach and Education to bring female athlete health and performance research into the hands of athletes, coaches, and their support teams. This person will play a central role in building WHSP's outreach function, developing educational programs, expanding awareness of WHSP's work, and creating partnerships across the sports ecosystem.
The ideal candidate is both a builder and an operator: someone who can think strategically, develop relationships, and execute with excellence in a small, fast‑moving organization. This role requires strong mission alignment, credibility with athletes, coaches, and athletic trainers, comfort working with researchers and subject‑matter experts, and the ability to present complex ideas with clarity and impact.
Experience as an elite athlete, while not required, would be highly valuable. Strong relationships and networks within athletics are also a plus.

Build educational programs for athletes, coaches, athletic trainers, support teams, and other key groups in the female athlete ecosystem, working independently and in partnership with universities, sports organizations, and institutional partners

Identify, build, and manage partnerships with universities, athletic organizations, coaches, teams, national and international sports bodies, media, nonprofits, and other relevant stakeholders
Lead and steward institutional partnership agreements from initial relationship development through formal execution and partnership implementation
Represent WHSP externally with professionalism, warmth, and credibility at conferences, convenings, and partner meetings
Lead WHSP's participation and programming at major events across the women's sport and sports medicine ecosystem
Leadership and Execution
Serve as both a strategic leader and hands‑on contributor in a small, entrepreneurial organization
Build and lead a growing Outreach & Education team
Manage WHSP’s ambassador program and Athlete Advisory Board - a founding cohort of athlete, coach, and related voices to support WHSP’s mission
Work closely with senior leadership and program teams to align outreach work with organizational priorities
Bring structure, organization, and follow‑through to new initiatives and help define how success is measured
