Organization Overview:

The Rockefeller Foundation was established in 1913 by John D.
Rockefeller, Sr. to "promote the well-being" of humanity by addressing
the root causes of serious problems. With assets of more than $3
billion, it is one of the nation's largest private foundations. The
Foundation works internationally to expand opportunities for poor and
vulnerable people and to help ensure that the benefits of
globalization are shared more equitably.

The Foundation currently maintains offices in New York and San
Francisco in the United States, a study and conference center in
Bellagio, Italy, and regional offices in Bangkok, Thailand, and
Nairobi, Kenya. Annual grant-making has averaged over $140 million
per year in the past five years. The Foundation currently employs a
total workforce of 175 employees in its New York and regional offices.

A new President joined the Foundation in March 2005, and the
organization has been engaged in a strategic planning process. As
part of the restructuring associated with that process, the new
position of Vice President for Strategy and Learning was established
in May 2006, with oversight for Foundation strategic opportunities,
learning, knowledge management, impact assessment and grant
administration activities. Program-related loans, equity investments
and guarantees have been organized through an internal fund within the
foundation known as ProVenEx which is part of a newly formed Strategy
& Learning office.

This is an opportunity to be engaged in the front lines of structuring
innovative investments and creative partnerships that will
deliberately apply innovations to expand opportunities for health,
