## Job description

Stand Together is a philanthropic community that helps America’s boldest changemakers tackle the root causes of our country’s biggest problems, from education to the economy, broken communities, and toxic division, among dozens of other pressing issues.

Program management for this initiative includes, but is not limited to, measuring impact, managing vendor partnerships, coordinating stakeholders, running events, facilitating learning sessions (virtual and in person), and collaborating with the internal team to prioritize and source opportunities. A successful Program Manager will maintain lead smooth programming, proactively identify opportunitiesfor improvement, and drive execution that elevates Stand Together Foundations’ non-profit leader support.
