Position Summary

The Manager or Senior Manager (based on experience) of Partner Programs & Operations is the operational engine behind Priorities USA 's external engagement work. This role sits at the intersection of partner relationship management, program execution, and cross-functional coordination, ensuring that the Director of Outreach, Partnerships & Growth and the Chief Impact Officer are fully equipped and supported in every external interaction, and that the programs and systems that sustain Priorities' partner ecosystem run smoothly and consistently.

This is a role for someone who thrives on getting things done behind the scenes, takes pride in making senior leaders more effective, and is energized by the complexity of managing multiple work streams across a fast-moving political environment.

The ideal candidate is highly organized, politically fluent, and equally comfortable drafting a briefing doc, managing a training recruitment pipeline, or synthesizing ecosystem intelligence into a clean one-pager.

This is a remote position. The role includes occasional travel, and working hours are 10AM–6PM ET regardless of location. We are not currently registered to do business in all locations. In particular, we are not currently accepting applicants based in Florida, Hawaii, Missouri, and Texas due to regulatory considerations.
