We are seeking a highly organized and detail-oriented Grant Program Manager to lead and oversee our organization's grant programs. The ideal candidate will be responsible for developing, implementing, and managing grant initiatives, ensuring compliance with grant requirements, and collaborating with internal and external stakeholders. This role requires strong project management skills, grant writing experience, and the ability to effectively communicate the impact of funded programs. We are looking for an individual that understands the administrative part of the grant business but also wants to get involved with the delivery side of a grant project. Where time and skills allow, we see the individual taking over delivery responsibilities based on supervisor guidance. The program manager will then understand the delivery and admin side of grant funded projects.
