Job description

We are seeking a full-time Senior Program Officer who will be an integral part of our grantmaking team, bringing both sophisticated portfolio management expertise and a genuine commitment to developing others. This role represents an intentional investment in strengthening our team's collective capability through peer learning while executing excellent grantmaking work.

In this position, you will manage diverse grant portfolios, partner directly with family stewards and grantmaking committees, and guide applicants and grantees through meaningful funding relationships. Equally important, you will coordinate structured peer reviews and foster a culture of continuous learning and collaborative problem-solving. This is a peer role with coaching responsibilities, not a supervisory position—you'll influence through expertise and partnership.
