We're excited to add this new role to our team! The Nonprofit Alliance (TNPA) is a trade association that was formed in 2018 to promote, protect, and strengthen the nonprofit sector. Members of The Nonprofit Alliance are nonprofit organizations and firms that work alongside nonprofits toward a shared purpose of public engagement and mission impact.

The Manager, Programs reports to the Vice President, Programs and provides critical support in developing and implementing programming initiatives for The Nonprofit Alliance (TNPA) members and the broader nonprofit community.

POSITION RESPONSIBILITIES

• Support the program planning and logistics for in-person and virtual events.
  • We contract with an event management company that handles hotel and venue contracting and management, food and beverage, and A/V. Logistics in this role include executing the program itself: materials, speaker and sponsor coordination, program collateral, run-of-show planning, communication with registrants and participants, etc.
• Work with staff and volunteers to coordinate, execute, and/or otherwise support virtual programs including webinars, “coffee talks,” an annual virtual Career Day for college students, and advocacy town halls.
• Help maintain program calendars and scheduling.
• Track and manage sponsor benefits fulfillment.
• Track program metrics, manage attendee surveys, and prepare evaluation reports.
• Work with the Director, Marketing to prepare email promos, social media posts, and other event promotions to sell attendee registrations and sponsorships, and help maintain program-related content on website and other platforms.
• Manage the fulfillment of event attendee welcome kits and “know before you go” communications.

TNPA Programs are poised to grow, including launching new programs in 2025. The Manager, Programs, will have the exceptional opportunity to be part of the inception of new programs and work to shape new successful pillar programs, growing into a key supporting role.

To be successful in this role, flexibility and a willingness to stretch are critical. As with all small teams, opportunities and needs arise that do not fit neatly into any one person’s role, and responsibilities will evolve as the organization grows (“other duties as assigned”).

The Nonprofit Alliance is based in Washington, DC, and we are seeking candidates who live in the DMV area. Employees who live in DC, Maryland, and Virginia can choose a hybrid work option. Some travel is required.

POSITION REQUIREMENTS

• Minimum of two (2) years of experience in the nonprofit sector or in a position with functional experience similar to this role.
• Proven track record in program coordination and implementation.
• Strong organizational and project management skills.
• Excellent written and verbal communication abilities.
• Experience in managing multiple priorities and meeting deadlines.
• Proficiency in virtual event management and digital communication skills is highly desirable.
• Comfort working independently and within a team, both in-person and virtual, interrelating and operating effectively with peers and other associates within a collegial yet demanding work environment.
• Enthusiasm for the charitable nonprofit sector is a must, and experience with membership organizations is a plus. Must be willing to support and serve members representing a broad range of cause areas.
