Director, BIKE Operations

For over 150 years, Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) has inspired some of the greatest minds in orthopedics and rheumatology. HSS has repeatedly achieved national recognition as a leader in the field. HSS is nationally ranked No. 1 in orthopedics for 16 years in a row and No. 3 in rheumatology by U.S. News & World Report (2025-2026) and HSS recently received its fifth consecutive Magnet designation, the first hospital in New York State to do so.

HSS seeks an inaugural Director, BIKE Operations (Director) to operationalize and support the evolution of BIKE HSS, the landmark bike, walk, and run community event based in Manhattanville University. The ideal Director will provide operational leadership and cross-functional project management of BIKE HSS as a year-round donor, physician, patient, and community engagement and fundraising platform. The successful candidate will systematize the operations of BIKE HSS while identifying opportunities to leverage the event to identify, cultivate, and steward new prospects and existing donors. The successful candidate will lead the integrated program plan, drive milestone delivery, and ensure the right approvals are obtained on time so work stays on track.

The Director will facilitate smooth, clear collaboration across a matrixed environment within Development, the HSS enterprise, and external stakeholders, including vendors, volunteers, and other stakeholders. Reporting to the inaugural Vice President, Development Operations and Donor Engagement, the Director sets executional strategy, maintains visibility mechanisms to keep key stakeholders apprised of project status, and brings together interrelated teams and partners to deliver a cohesive participant, donor, and supporter experience.
