The Vice President of Programs and Partnerships’ role is to develop and adhere to a strategic plan to procure funds, resources, and new relationships while creating and driving innovative and impactful programs.
This position will have oversight and responsibility for creating, operationalizing, managing ongoing programs, while also managing the partnerships team to continue to find the funds through proposals to institutional funding, to fuel CORE’s mission – to help as many people as equitably, rapidly, and efficiently as we can.
This position will create programs and activities while ensuring the organization operates within the board-approved budget; and cultivate partnerships across CORE’s various existing stakeholders, including Community Partners, Government and Multilateral Partners, while supporting the VP of Development and team to cultivate Corporate, Foundation, HNWI, and general public support and partners.
The position will be a part of the C-Suite team that drives the overall strategy for the organization and represents CORE on a local, regional, national, and international basis. With a program portfolio across the continental U.S., as well as international programs in Haiti, Sudan and Ukraine, and a global workforce of over 300 staff, the VP of Programs and Partnerships will initially develop deep knowledge of each project, program operations, and business plan, and will focus on the following three areas: program leadership and management, funding partnership relationships, and working closely with the CEO, the VP of Development, VP of Communications, and VP of Technical Support and Response on knowledge management.
CORE views our emergency relief and longer-term recovery and reconstruction programming through the same integrated lens. CORE’s VP of Programs and Partnerships needs to be effective working in diverse contexts, able to respond with urgency and move quickly to provide immediate relief while also looking to find and make investments that have positive, deep, and long-term impact. They will need to be able to analyze complex contexts, support CORE to get on the ground quickly, then iterate for deeper, longer-term impact. Most importantly, this position requires a high EQ and a strong team builder. CORE’s ethos values servant leadership styles, and problem solvers.
