Manager, Ronald McDonald House Marketing Partnerships

Department Overview

Ronald McDonald House® is an independent, nonprofit 501(C)(3) organization that cares for families when they have children who are ill or injured. Through a global network of 250+ independently operated Chapters in 60+ countries and regions, we surround families with the resources, services, and support they need, removing barriers so they can be at the heart of their child’s care and ensure the best possible health outcomes.

Ronald McDonald House strives to be part of the solution to the challenges families face when a child needs healthcare, whether that means staying close to a hospitalized child, affording to remain together while a child undergoes treatment far from home, or accessing basic medical and dental care in underserved communities. Through our resources and community partnerships, we help families gain access to healthcare services and stay together during critical moments in their children’s lives.

‌

We are enjoying the flexibility of a hybrid work model, in which Ronald McDonald House Global employees spend part of their week connecting with co-workers in our state-of-the-art McDonald’s headquarters in the booming West Loop of downtown Chicago.
