For decades, the Heinz family and its philanthropies have worked to support the health and well-being of the greater Pittsburgh region and to promote innovation, fairness, and social, economic, and environmental sustainability. In doing so, they have had a profound impact on the region and helped to shape the trajectory of Pittsburgh itself.

It strives to use the region as a laboratory to develop solutions to complex societal problems that manifest locally but are national and global in scope.

The role calls for outstanding skills in communication and collaboration, a sophisticated understanding of public policy, a commitment to continuous learning and critical reflection, and a track record of successful team leadership.
