Governance & Operations Coordinator supporting HL7's governance and executive functions. Coordinating Board and committee meetings, governance communication, and operational tasks.

Responsibilities:

  • Become a key part of the operational backbone of HL7’s governance and executive functions
  • Coordinate the full lifecycle of HL7 Board and Board Committee meetings: scheduling, agenda coordination, document preparation, and timely distribution to all participants
  • Produce accurate, polished meeting minutes and ensure proper filing, version control, and accessibility of governance documents
  • Track action items from Board and committee meetings; follow up proactively with owners and keep leadership informed of open items and deadlines
  • Maintain governance calendars, anticipate conflicts or gaps well in advance, and keep all meetings running on schedule
  • Coordinate governance communications across HL7’s committees, working groups, and broader community — including meeting announcements, voting processes, elections, and bylaw-related correspondence
  • Manage the end-to-end logistics of HL7’s governance election and voting processes
  • Maintain current rosters, committee membership records, and governance documentation; ensure all materials are organized, up to date, and easy to find
  • Draft clear, professional communications on behalf of the CEO and COO for governance-related outreach.
  • Coordinate scheduling and logistics for meetings between HL7 leadership and external partners, member organizations, and stakeholders
  • Prepare briefing materials, agendas, and follow-up summaries so leadership walks into every meeting prepared and leaves with clear next steps documented and tracked
  • Track commitments made with partners and ensure timely follow-through; flag anything at risk of slipping
  • Take recurring coordination tasks — research, drafting, scheduling, tracking, and follow-up — and execute them reliably
  • Prepare briefs, pre-reads, agendas, and follow-ups
  • Arrange domestic and international travel for executive leaders — flights, hotels, ground transportation, and itineraries — anticipating needs and handling changes as needed
  • Prepare and submit expense reports accurately and on time, tracking receipts and ensuring compliance with HL7's policies
  • Manage open action item queues; track risks and issues with Board or other initiatives as assigned; provide regular status updates and proactively surface anything that needs their attention
  • Identify patterns in recurring requests and build lightweight tools, templates, or processes to handle them more efficiently over time.

Requirements:

  • 2–5 years of experience in an operations, coordination, or project-focused role
  • Nonprofit or association experience is a plus
  • Proven ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-moving environment and consistently follow through
  • Tech-savvy and comfortable learning and using new tools quickly; familiarity with various AI tools, Microsoft 365 (Outlook, SharePoint, Teams), Zoom, and shared document platforms is expected
  • Excellent written communication skills — you can produce a crisp, professional email or summary document with minimal oversight
  • High attention to detail and a reputation for getting things done.
  • Comfortable working with senior leaders and exercising good judgment about priorities and escalation.
  • Self-starter who figures things out, proposes solutions, and takes initiative.

Benefits:

  • Health insurance
  • Flexible work arrangements
  • Professional development
