The Program Officer (PO) of the Restorative Economies Fund (REF) is a key programmatic leader and thoughtful and engaged contributor to the Kataly team, focused on the Foundation’s mission to promote social justice and racial equity in communities most impacted by injustice. In summary, alongside the REF Team members the PO is responsible for intentional grantee relationship management. The PO will partner with the current Program Officer in serving as co-leads and points of contact for the REF grant program. The PO will facilitate all aspects of the REF grantmaking program in coordination with the REF team, specifically the peer Program Officer. The incoming and current Program Officers will work together to develop and refine procedures, methods, and workflow, assessing potential partners, engaging in issues exploration, participating in community events, and fostering community and grantee relations. The PO supports Kataly’s capacity-building efforts in partnership with the Capacity Building team and contributes to communication strategies under the direction of the CEO, Managing Director of Programs (MDP), and Director of Communications.

The PO deeply understands and is committed to Kataly's values and mission. The PO has strong knowledge of the Foundation’s internal processes and is the grantee’s point of contact for communicating Kataly’s grantmaking cycles, processes, and how Kataly’s position as a spend-out foundation impacts our grantmaking. Reporting to the Managing Director (MDP) of Programs, the PO has relevant lived and movement-building experience within the just transition and solidarity economy movements in the United States and an understanding of philanthropic practices.
