  • Proactively interpret and assess subgrantee risks, provide technical assistance as necessary and surface and address issues.
  • Ensure agreements and amendments follow proper authorities and signatures and, where relevant, support multi‑party structures

Project & Portfolio Management

  • Develop and maintain an in-depth understanding of funding mechanisms, funding requirements, budget conditions, and spending status for all grants and awards.

  • Coordinate reporting cycles; aggregate outcomes, metrics, photos/media, and narrative.

Risk & Quality Assurance

  • Maintain a live risk register (financial, compliance, schedule, stakeholder, reputational); propose mitigation strategies and document decisions.
