Grants Management Associate, Criminal Justice
Overview:
The Stand Together community works with the country's boldest and most innovative social changemakers to remove barriers that block people from achieving their potential. We believe we all benefit when everyone can contribute. We work across the political spectrum and focus on some of our country's biggest issues, such as breaking the cycle of poverty, criminal justice reform, immigration, economic recovery, and equal rights (plus so much more!).
Our Grant Administration Team supports Stand Together by working with issue area teams to provide a superior partnership experience to grantees and optimize portfolio performance toward our goals. Learn more about our partnership with criminal justice scholars to produce cutting edge research, focused on fixing the criminal justice system. We’re reimagining public safety with New York University’s School of Law. In addition, our work also supports scholars of liberalism, with the belief that an open exchange of ideas contributes to a flourishing society.
As a Grants Management Associate, you will manage a set of grants targeted toward creating change primarily for our Criminal Justice priority initiative. You set and execute on operational standards for data and financial management, track grantee performance, and collaborate across internal capabilities to drive strategic decision making. This position will help decisionmakers understand the progress that grantees are making toward our shared goals of transforming the justice system, creating alternatives to incarceration, and changing how our culture handles public safety.
A typical day can include analyzing grant proposals, drafting grant recommendations, participating in conversations with grant partners, collecting the documentation to process and disburse grant payments, working with internal teams to measure and report on portfolio progress, working with our fundraising team to craft donor communications, and identifying opportunities to elevate our investments through media.
To thrive in this role, you will have experience staying organized under changing conditions, providing accountability to team members, and bringing an entrepreneurial, problem-solving mindset to your work.
