Coro California (Coro) is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization focused on cultivating the next generation of diverse leaders through hands-on, collaborative, cross-sectoral learning. With programs for youth, recent college graduates, established professionals, and executives, Coro develops leaders at all stages of their lives and careers. Graduates leave Coro with a deeper understanding of how their communities and organizations work, the leadership skills to contribute to its success, and a network of engaged alumni to help them reach their goals. Coro California formed through the merger of Coro Southern California (established in 1957) and Coro Northern California (established in 1942), uniting the two legacy organizations into a single statewide entity to amplify impact and grow opportunities for leaders across the region.
Reporting to the Chief Finance and Operating Officer, the Manager, Regional and Program Operations is responsible for coordinating and managing the logistics, operations, and data systems that support the successful delivery of Coro California's leadership development programs, while also serving as the primary operational lead for the Bay Area office. This dual role ensures that programs run efficiently statewide, that participants and facilitators experience seamless engagement, and that the Bay Area office operates as a professional, welcoming, and well-resourced hub for staff, participants, board members, and partners.
Success in this role will be measured by the seamless execution of program logistics, the consistent quality of Bay Area regional operations, and the experience of facilitators, participants, and staff who rely on this position for support. As Coro California evolves, this position may assume additional duties and responsibilities appropriate to the position and consistent with organizational needs and applicable law.
