Director of Cancer Support Programs

Middleon, WI | Full-time, Exempt | $80,000–$86,000 annually | Hybrid (1-2 days remote/week)

When someone hears the words, "you have cancer," the world can feel very small. At Gilda's Club Wisconsin, we work every day to make that world feel bigger again through connection, support, laughter, and hope. We're looking for a Director of Cancer Support Programs who shares that conviction and wants to lead a team bringing that mission to life across the state.

This is a rare opportunity to shape the future of free psychosocial cancer support in Wisconsin. You'll lead a dedicated team, build partnerships with healthcare and community organizations, and ensure that every person impacted by cancer (people living with cancer, caregivers, and families) has a place to belong.
