Program Manager

Stand Together is a philanthropic community that helps America’s boldest changemakers tackle the root causes of our country’s biggest problems, from education to the economy, broken communities, and toxic division, among dozens of other pressing issues. We provide our partners with access to resources including funding, thought leadership, a network of peers, and a playbook for applying proven principles to transform lives and society. 

Stand Together Foundation partners with nonprofit leaders to build their capacity for durable, mission-driven impact that not only serves their communities well, but challenges prevailing paradigms about the individuals they serve and the challenges those people face. As part of our work, we help leaders refine their messaging and storytelling and, when needed, apply it to specific engagements (keynote remarks, podcast interviews, all-staff retreats) where they’ll share that message. As a Program Manager, you’ll own the operational management and day-to-day execution of programming connected to this leader coaching program. Program management for this initiative includes, but is not limited to, measuring impact, managing vendor partnerships, coordinating stakeholders, running events, facilitating learning sessions (virtual and in person), and collaborating with the internal team to prioritize and source opportunities. 

A successful Program Manager will maintain lead smooth programming, proactively identify opportunities for improvement, and drive execution that elevates Stand Together Foundations’ non-profit leader support.  

Operations Management and Measurement 

• Lead Program from Launch to Close: Own participant-facing communications throughout the programming lifecycle, from onboarding and expectation-setting to closing summaries and outcome reporting 

• Measure Program Impact: Design and launch participant surveys, track and synthesize data, report on key performance indicators, and analyze outcomes across program cohorts 

• Manage Vendor Partnerships: Vet, onboard, and manage external partners and contractors who support the curriculum and learning experiences, including drafting agreements and contracts in partnership with internal teams 

• Coordinate Across Teams: Partner with internal stakeholders and collaborators to identify and execute opportunities that develop and elevate leaders, both internally and in external communications 

• Plan & Execute Events: Coordinate logistics for in-person and virtual learning events, including agendas, materials, and cross-team collaboration to deliver high-quality learning experiences

 

Program Facilitation and Learning Content 

• Facilitate Learning Sessions: Host and facilitate regular sessions, including developing supporting materials and follow-up resources for participants 

• Create Program Content: Develop collateral, guides, and resources that support both participants and fellow facilitators 

Our Values: Working for an organization within the Stand Together philanthropic community is different from many other places. The culture is deeply rooted in Principle Based Management® (PBM®), a framework guided by the principles that drive human progress, such as dignity, openness, and bottom-up empowerment. PBM® empowers employees to be entrepreneurial, to innovate, and to continually drive transformation.   

 

We believe diversity fuels creativity, broadens knowledge, and helps drive success.  That is why we’re proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer and strive to treat all employees and applicants with honesty, dignity, and respect.
