Description

The Sexual Health Program Manager provides balanced leadership across clinic operations and community-based prevention strategy. This role ensures the smooth, high-quality functioning of Fenway Health’s low-threshold Sexual Health clinic while also leading community engagement and outreach efforts to expand access among priority populations.

This position is intentionally structured as a 50/50 leadership role, with approximately half of effort dedicated to clinic systems oversight and quality management, and half dedicated to community engagement, partnership development, and strategic outreach.

The Manager oversees grant-funded HIV, STI, and Hepatitis C prevention programming supported by MA DPH, BPHC, and CDC funding, with a focus on gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (MSM), transgender and gender diverse communities, who are at highest risk of acquiring these infections.

Primary Responsibilities:

Clinic Operations & Quality Oversight (Approximately 50%)

Provide systems-level oversight to ensure the Sexual Health clinic operates efficiently, safely, and in alignment with grant requirements and best practices.

Oversee clinic workflows, staffing structures, and service delivery processes to ensure client-centered, low-barrier care.
Oversee the health navigation function as a public health intervention, ensuring health navigators are delivering high quality, culturally competent, affirming navigation services.
Monitor performance metrics (e.g., testing volume, linkage to care, PrEP initiation, retention) and implement quality improvement initiatives.
Ensure compliance with funder requirements, internal policies, and safety protocols.
Oversee inventory systems and scheduling frameworks at a supervisory level.
Collaborate with clinical leadership to address operational challenges and improve service integration.
Serve as escalation point for operational issues and implement corrective action plans when needed.

Develop and implement a comprehensive community engagement and outreach strategy.
Build and maintain partnerships with community-based organizations, advocacy groups, nightlife venues, shelters, substance use programs, and culturally specific organizations.
