This position supports the operational and award management aspects of cooperative work with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Office of National Marine Sanctuaries for national, regional, and local initiatives that engage the public in the designation process for sanctuaries. The Program Operations Manager will initially support the operational management of and monitor the pace of completion of federally funded projects but is intended to grow to include privately supported programs.
The Program Operations Manager for Sanctuary Community Engagement will play a critical role in growing our restoration programs. You will be expected to troubleshoot program implementation issues, as well as manage the tracking of funds, including developing and executing spending priorities for several funded projects. You will be the point of contact for technical program managers and other staff on program implementation and communicate guidance on compliance and procurement. The Program Operations Manager will help administer the Foundation's project and award management database to enhance the efficiency of workflow throughout programs and track metrics and results.
This role is currently offered as a two-and-a-half-year term position. The position may be extended based on the continued availability of funding. The Program Operations Manager for Sanctuary Community Engagement supports the scope of a federal cooperative agreement between the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation and NOAA Office of National Marine Sanctuaries that focuses on public engagement in the designation process of new national marine sanctuaries.
The National Marine Sanctuary Foundation is committed to a culture of inclusion, equity, and belonging. We are dedicated to attracting and retaining a diverse staff. We honor experiences, perspectives, and unique identities, and welcome the contributions that you can bring to the dedicated team.

You are a key team member in the Program Operations Division who builds positive working relationships with the Foundation's Conservation team, Finance team, and partner organizations to accomplish your work.
