You will help manage program budgets and financial resources, develop and maintain systems that support effective service delivery, and use data and outcomes to inform continuous improvement. In addition, you will cultivate internal and external partnerships, lead program vision and strategy, and recruit, develop, and supervise staff, interns, and volunteers in ways that strengthen team effectiveness and client outcomes.
