Beyond Type 1 is a global nonprofit dedicated to improving the lives of those impacted by diabetes. Co-founded in 2015 by Nick Jonas, Juliet De Baubigny and fellow diabetes change-makers, Beyond Type 1 serves the largest digital audience of any diabetes nonprofit worldwide. From awareness and prevention to diagnosis and daily management, we’re here for every step of the journey.

We meet people where they are—providing practical tools, community connection and direct funding—while working to dismantle stigma and systemic barriers to care, domestically and internationally. 

By uniting the global diabetes community across all types, backgrounds and geographies, we’re changing what it means to live with diabetes and creating a path to a world beyond it.

Role Overview

The Senior Social Impact Director will focus on Global Health Partnerships & Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMIC) Engagement in a senior technical and strategic leadership role. This person will be responsible for advancing our global health equity mission, taking charge of LMIC engagement, community investment, and the management of BT1's Beyond Barriers India portfolio. This position serves as a subject matter expert on India programming and LMIC community partnerships, and plays a central role in scaling global impact through rigorous grant and budget management, deep community partnerships, and effective stakeholder engagement across civil society, government, and global health institutions.

This person operates cross-functionally, collaborating closely with members of the Social Impact & Global Advocacy (SIGA), Grants & Partnerships, Marketing, and Operations teams to ensure coordination and integration across all aspects of the work. It does not carry direct supervisory responsibility but is expected to exercise senior-level influence, technical leadership, and project coordination across teams.

The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in the global NCD landscape, hands-on experience working with or as a consultative NGO to the World Health Organization (WHO) or similar multilateral bodies, and a proven track record of building and sustaining trust-based partnerships with community-based organizations in LMICs. They bring intellectual rigor, cultural humility, and the operational fluency to move comfortably between global health policy forums and grassroots community engagement.

This person may also support BT1's program expansion work in other LMIC geographies and priority regions including Europe, Africa, and South America.
