ABOUT THE POSITION

In this position you will be part of a dynamic and creative team committed to supporting organizations and leaders changing systems and conditions to improve health equity in North Carolina.  Our ideal team member will thrive in and contribute to a collaborative environment, working cross-functionally alongside a diverse network of colleagues, grantees, and community partners to refine and implement our strategic and organizational approach. This approach includes:

• Identifying and acting on inequities at the root-cause level, with an explicit focus on racial equity
• Amplifying community voice, and elevating the experience and wisdom of those who experience inequities

The Grants Manager is entrusted with improving grantmaking systems and processes, leveraging data and insight, and building a culture that values the importance of efficient, flexible, and equitable grants management practices.

As a member of the Operational Excellence team, the Grants Manager plays a pivotal role in the implementation of strategies to deliver exceptional grantee experience.
