Operational Excellence & Accountability

Oversee program execution with a focus on quality, consistency, and sustainability
Ensure all programs meet compliance, funding requirements, and performance benchmarks
Integrate financial oversight into program planning, ensuring alignment between budgets and outcomes

Leadership & Culture Building

Anticipate operational and programmatic risks before they escalate
Implement systems for quality assurance, feedback loops, and early intervention
Serve as the organizational “early warning system” for program performance and delivery issues

Qualifications

Bachelor's degree required; Master's degree strongly preferred (MPA, MPH, MSW, MBA, or related field).
Seven (7) or more years of progressive leadership experience in program management within nonprofit, public health, healthcare, or human services settings.
Minimum of five (5) years of direct people management experience, including supervision, coaching, performance management, and team development.
Demonstrated success building, redesigning, or restructuring programs, processes, and operational systems—not solely maintaining existing structures.
Proven ability to leverage data, performance metrics, and key performance indicators (KPIs) to drive strategic decision-making, operational improvements, and measurable outcomes.
Strong operational and financial acumen, including budget development, management, forecasting, and alignment of financial resources with programmatic outcomes.
Experience leading teams and organizations through growth, change management initiatives, and organizational transformation.
Demonstrated track record of identifying operational inefficiencies and implementing innovative, scalable solutions that improve performance and impact.
Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel, including experience with formulas, pivot tables, data analysis, reporting, dashboards, and troubleshooting data discrepancies.
Proficiency with organizational systems and technology platforms, including project management software, databases, CRM systems, learning management systems, and other business operations software.
Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
Deep commitment to community impact, health equity, and culturally responsive programming and leadership practices.
Community Health Worker (CHW) certification, bilingual proficiency, and/or experience serving diverse populations are considered strong assets.
