At the Foundation, we believe that keeping equity at the heart of our work will lead us to better health. That starts from within, including intentional application of diversity, equity, and inclusion practices that guide how we operate and work in communities across Colorado. For example, our cornerstones are designed to help ensure that:

  • We serve Coloradans who have less power, privilege and income, and prioritize Coloradans of color.
  • We do everything with the intent of creating health equity.
  • We are informed by the community and those we exist to serve. 


Candidates must have a personal commitment and connection with our mission and cornerstones; work well in ambiguity and managing change; and proactively identify opportunities to advance our mission while remaining grounded in the day-to-day responsibilities. They will need to be able to apply principles of health equity and racial justice across all of their investment work.

  • Conduct research and analysis on a variety of investment topics such as strategic asset allocation, portfolio stress testing, tactical investment strategies, asset class reviews, and hedging instruments to manage exposures

  • Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Office suite
  • Excellent interpersonal, communication, and presentation skills, both written and spoken
  • High level of professional integrity demonstrated through past professional roles
