    Ensure strong financial reporting to directors and effective monitoring of budgets at the project and CEP levels.

    Conduct quarterly strategic budget analysis across programs and for CEP overall to project revenue expectations and needs, track spending, identify opportunities for efficiencies, and comply with Aspen Institute budget modeling and management processes.

    Oversee CEP Core/Admin budget and, with the Executive Director, reserve funds.


    Grants management:


    Develop and execute funder, stewardship, and grants strategy, including managing systems to ensure consistent outreach to funders, monitoring funder communications, preparing for grant renewals, and ensuring timely and high-quality grant proposals and reports.

    Serve as a strategic liaison to Aspen central services, ensuring that CEP adheres to Aspen policies and protocol and representing CEP at external and internal Aspen-wide meetings.


    Operations:
    Provide coaching and thought partnership to people managers and others to build program capacity for professional development and growth.

    Conduct periodic strategic reviews of partnerships, including consultants, vendors, and contractors, to analyze the efficiency and effectiveness of spending and capacity needs.

    Oversee and manage operational relationships and processes, including contract agreements and relationships, due diligence reviews, and legal review from the Aspen Institute legal department.


    Support the Managing Director and Executive Director in developing and executing the strategies and agendas of senior team and staff meetings, including twice-annual home weeks and periodic senior team retreats.

    Other duties as assigned.

    Flexibility to adapt to changing program priorities, ability to manage multiple tasks, and willingness to pitch in where needed.

    To apply:
