    Description
    DIRECTOR, GRANTS MANAGEMENT

    About 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.

    Essential Functions of the Position:
    • Provide strategic oversight of the foundation's comprehensive philanthropic database solution and ensure best practices, efficiency, and consistency of grant administration, policy, and procedures.
    • Ensure the grants management software system design and configuration supports efficient grantmaking processes, a positive grantee experience and reflects up-to-date business policies and procedures.
    • Proactively collaborate with colleagues to understand the variety of needs from grantmaking practices, process and workflows; partner with associates to design and implement efficient, streamlined and consistent solutions.
    • Coordinate and integrate grant data with related systems.
    • Oversee due diligence of grants (regulatory and contractual).
    • Communicate and work with grantmaking staff on process and compliance issues to ensure their work aligns with best practices and AMBFF's policies and procedures.
    • Foster a culture of learning and development, ensuring that associates learn from each other and external stakeholders (in how we manage our processes and relationships with grant partners).
    • Assist with new staff onboarding of organization policies and procedures related to grantmaking
    • Design, produce and distribute grant data reports that are useful to program colleagues
    • Maintain policy, system and process documentation and reference tools
    • Guide data standardization and governance.
    • Assist in creating materials as needed for board meetings and other presentations.
