PVRI Careers and opportunities

We are a global membership charity with a small team making a big impact. Together, our dedicated staff team and volunteers are working towards a world where pulmonary hypertension (PH) is diagnosed earlier, treated more effectively, and better understood everywhere. 

Through advocacy, collaboration, and education, we’re helping healthcare professionals deepen their understanding of PH and inspiring the research that will shape its future.

If you’re passionate about driving change, making a meaningful contribution, and joining a team where your work truly matters, explore our opportunities below or get in touch to discuss how you can help. 

Current vacancies

Advocacy and Engagement Lead

We’ve developed this new post to lead a 2-year pilot project, that will help local PH professionals bring about real change in the provision of PH diagnosis and treatment in underserved areas of the world. 

The Advocacy & Engagement Lead will scope areas of need and work with key regional stakeholders to develop and implement plans for new PH services. They’ll take a context-specific approach, recognising that each region presents distinct challenges and opportunities for meaningful change. The work will be supported by expertise, knowledge and data drawn from PVRI’s 20 workgroups, and from our global professional membership.

We have two initial pilot sites in mind, but this will probably expand during the initial phase. If the pilot is successful, we hope to make this a core part of PVRI’s future work. We are seeking someone who will bring energy, skills and commitment to this exciting role, and in return we want you to feel valued and engaged.

To apply for this role
Please send your CV and a support statement (max 850 words), together with the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Monitoring Form to Katie Corris at kc@pvrinstitute.org by 09:00 on Monday 2 February 2026.
