Summary

The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation is a nonpartisan, global philanthropy committed to helping people, communities, and the planet flourish. For nearly six decades, the foundation has supported creative thinkers and problem solvers working on some of the world’s most pressing challenges—from climate change and economic inequality to threats to democracy and gender injustice.

With assets of approximately $12.8 billion and annual grantmaking exceeding $600 million, the foundation invests in long-term, trust-based partnerships with organizations across the U.S. and around the world. Its approach centers on collaboration, learning, and equity, with a deep commitment to racial justice and strengthening the effectiveness of philanthropy itself.

The Gender Equity and Governance Program seeks a Program Officer for its Global Reproductive Equity (GRE) strategy which focuses on ensuring that all people and especially women and girls facing the greatest barriers – in East Africa and Francophone West Africa – can seek, access, and use comprehensive reproductive healthcare, including safe and legal abortion care, to support their health, well-being, and life aspirations. The role may evolve over time to be inclusive of other areas of work in the gender, rights, governance, and global development field.

The position is based in Menlo Park, California. Staff are currently expected to work from the Hewlett Foundation offices at least 2-3 times per week when they are not traveling. The salary range for this role is $195,000 - $223,000. Program Officers of the Hewlett Foundation serve an eight-year term.
