Using innovation and creativity, the Program Manager is expected to independently: 1) plan, develop, and facilitate trainings via webinars, in-person events; 2) carryout programmatic aspects of the grant-funded project including developing a leadership program, coordinating a policy fellowship program, grant compliance, and monitoring/ evaluation/ reporting activities; and 3) supervise all program staff in collaborative efforts such as event planning, coalition building, strategic planning, and program improvement activities; and 4) oversee all work of contractual partners.
