Job description

IntermediaryEd is building the program infrastructure that powers our grantmaking to organizations serving young adults ages 16-29 who face barriers to career opportunities. The Programs team seeks a Program Associate to provide support to the team, both building key departmental systems and supporting the implementation of grantmaking strategies. The ideal candidate is mission- and impact-driven, and thrives on variety — someone who can move seamlessly between scheduling meetings, formatting a board deck, coordinating convenings, tracking milestones on a portfolio tracker, and keeping a dozen moving projects on schedule.
This is a foundational role: an opportunity for someone who wants to help shape an impact-driven organization at launch, while learning the craft of grantmaking from the inside. You'll be the connective tissue that keeps the Programs team's work organized, on time, and well-documented — with a front-row seat to how a new foundation's grantmaking strategy comes together.
