About Global Greengrants Fund

Global Greengrants Fund (GGF) is an international organization that supports grassroots activists and civil society organizations working to advance environmental and social justice in more than 160 countries. Established in 1993 in the United States, the organization works through a participatory, decentralized grantmaking model that empowers local communities to address environmental challenges and social inequalities.

GGF collaborates with regional and thematic advisory boards, global partner networks, and partner funds to direct resources to grassroots movements. Its approach is based on the belief that communities most affected by environmental harm and social injustice should have the power and resources to shape solutions.

The organization operates through two entities: Global Greengrants Fund Inc., based in the United States, and Global Greengrants Fund UK. Both work closely together through a shared grantmaking programme and senior-level strategic collaboration.

In 2026, GGF is undertaking an organizational transformation focused on its core values, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and organizational care, while building on more than 30 years of supporting community-led change.

About the Position

Global Greengrants Fund is seeking a committed and experienced Program Manager to coordinate and operationalize its programme activities across three impact areas: Energy, Earth, and Equity.

The successful candidate will support the organization’s global Advisory Network and strengthen the systems, processes, and collaborative approaches needed to implement its strategy effectively.

The Program Manager will coordinate annual workplans and budgets, oversee programme workflows, monitor expenditure, and contribute to strategy implementation, monitoring, evaluation, and learning. The position also involves working closely with colleagues in Operations, Grants Management, Finance, Philanthropic Partnerships, and Global Greengrants Fund UK to ensure donor compliance, effective implementation of funded activities, and sound financial management.

In addition, the role requires building and maintaining relationships with advisors, movement actors, and peer organizations to ensure that GGF’s programmes respond to the priorities and needs of its global network.

The position is part of the Programs team and is currently line-managed by the Vice President of Programs. The successful candidate will also work collaboratively across the Programs team and the wider organization.

Key Responsibilities

The Program Manager will be responsible for coordinating programme operations, supporting strategic implementation, and strengthening collaboration across the organization. Key responsibilities include:

• Coordinating annual programme workplans, budgets, workflows, and deliverables across GGF’s Energy, Earth, and Equity impact areas.
• Managing programme implementation processes and ensuring that activities are delivered according to agreed plans, timelines, and priorities.
• Monitoring programme expenditure, supporting budget management, and conducting financial tracking and analysis.
• Contributing to organizational strategy implementation, monitoring, evaluation, and learning.
• Working with Operations, Grants Management, Finance, Philanthropic Partnerships, and GGF UK to support donor compliance and the effective management of funded activities.
• Supporting and coordinating the organization’s global Advisory Network.
• Building and maintaining relationships with advisors, grassroots movements, movement actors, peer organizations, and other stakeholders.
• Strengthening internal systems, processes, and collaborative working practices to improve programme delivery.
• Supporting coordination and communication among colleagues working remotely across different countries and time zones.
• Helping ensure that programme activities reflect the needs, priorities, and perspectives of communities working toward environmental and social justice.

Candidate Profile and Qualifications

GGF is looking for a candidate with substantial relevant experience in justice-centred organizations that directly support local organizations, grassroots initiatives, and social movements.

Relevant professional backgrounds may include:

• Social and environmental justice.
• Climate justice and environmental advocacy.
• Feminist and gender justice movements.
• Human rights and movement-building.
• Philanthropy, grantmaking, and funding organizations.
• Community development and civil society support.

Required Experience and Skills

Programme and project management: Demonstrated experience in programme planning, coordination, implementation, and delivery, including the ability to manage several projects, priorities, deliverables, and deadlines simultaneously.

Financial management: Strong skills in budgeting, expenditure tracking, financial analysis, and monitoring programme budgets.

Strategic thinking and problem-solving: Ability to analyse complex issues, exercise sound judgment, make informed decisions, and develop practical solutions to organizational challenges.

Climate justice and grantmaking: A deep understanding of climate justice, philanthropy, grantmaking, and movement accompaniment, supported by a grounded political understanding of global systems and the role of social movements in transforming them.

Relationship-building and collaboration: Excellent interpersonal skills and experience working with diverse communities and stakeholders representing different identities, backgrounds, and perspectives across the world.

Remote working: Ability to work effectively in a fully remote environment, collaborate across multiple time zones, communicate clearly, and use digital tools to coordinate activities and manage projects.

Planning and coordination: Ability to organize work, lead the implementation of plans and processes across teams, and strengthen organizational systems and collaborative approaches.

Desirable Qualifications

The following would be considered beneficial:

• Experience supporting growing or transforming organizations.
• Experience strengthening collaborative ways of working.
• Courses, certificates, or other training in programme management, project management, design, or evaluation.

Candidates who do not meet every aspect of the profile are still encouraged to apply if they are interested in the position and believe their experience is relevant.

Salary and Benefits

Global Greengrants Fund determines salaries according to applicable salary scales, internal pay policies, equity considerations, and available budgets. The organization does not use salary negotiation processes, aiming to reduce structural inequities associated with individual salary negotiations.

The minimum annual salary offer for a US-based candidate under the applicable work band is US$102,800. Candidates based outside the United States who are shortlisted for interviews will receive information about the relevant salary ranges for their locations.

Benefits include:

• Group medical insurance.
