Position Overview
Are you looking to leverage your skills in stakeholder engagement and project management in the philanthropic sector?
The National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy (NCRP) in Washington, D.C. is looking for a senior engagement associate who can help the organization’s small but high-performing team promote philanthropy that is accountable, effective and responsive to the needs of marginalized communities. The senior associate will play a crucial role in managing two core initiatives: Power Moves and the NCRP Impact Awards.
This is a wonderful opportunity for hands-on experience in project management with a national nonprofit. You’ll lead the teams and manage the project activities for the Power Moves initiative and for the NCRP Impact Awards. You’ll gain experience in advancing learning and evaluation activities for projects. You’ll develop your supervision skills by co-supervising an intern. You’ll liaise with foundations and other sector organizations from across the country who share NCRP’s values and who want to improve their practices, and engage them to act on common goals. If you are interested in building a vast network throughout this sector and building transferable skills for future work at a nonprofit or philanthropic institution, please read more below.
