Director, Grants Management - Atlanta, United States - ARTHUR M BLANK FAMILY FOUNDATION
![Default job background](https://contents.bebee.com/public/img/bg-user-ex-1.jpg)
Description
DIRECTOR, GRANTS MANAGEMENTAbout Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation (AMBFF):
Arthur M. Blank is recognized for his values-based Blank Family of Businesses (BFOB) and as one of America's leading philanthropists through the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation. All his industry-leading businesses, including the foundation, operate on six Core Values: Put People First, Listen and Respond, Include Everyone, Innovate Continuously, Lead by Example, and Give Back to Others.
After 27 years and over $1 billion in giving, the foundation has committed to significantly escalating the impact of its philanthropy over the next 10+ years. This milestone coincides with deeper participation among the next generation of Blank family members on the board and in advisory capacities, partnering around their shared core beliefs and the Jewish value of tikkun olam ("heal and repair the world").
In addition to the founder's philanthropic giving. The board has selected five collective areas of giving, which include Democracy with an emphasis on strengthening the structures and relationships that lead to good governance; Youth Development, with a focus on workforce development; Atlanta's historic Westside, with a focus on affordable housing and economic mobility; Environment, with a focus on clean energy and sustainable agriculture and Mental Health and Well-being. Geographically, much of the work prioritizes Georgia and Montana, while also considering the potential for national influence.
The foundation prioritizes respect, relationships and results and we focus on outcome-driven strategies that diligently employ measurement and evaluation strategies to learn and improve.
About the Role:
As the Director, Grants Management, you will play a key role in the oversight of the grants management operations in support of the foundation objectives. This role will lead the grant operations team and be responsible for the grants management system and the process workflow for grant processing. The director will provide strategic oversight of the foundation's grant operations from application to payment (processes, workflows and software), data management and regulatory compliance.
This new position was created to build a comprehensive approach to the grantmaking workflows that delivers efficient processes, a quality user experience and intentional design around data management. This work will include evaluating the current grants management system, recommending whether to keep or change systems and leading the projects resulting from the recommendation.
We seek a collaborative leader with significant knowledge of trends in grantmaking, grants management and grants management software/systems. This position requires the capability to balance the details of grants management while staying aware of the foundation's broader vision and strategy. The position reports to the Managing Director, Finance and Grants Management and manages a team of two associates.
