About the position

The Senior Manager of Partnerships and Community Engagement will play a pivotal role in supporting the ASPPH Center for Public Health Workforce Development. This position is focused on identifying, developing, and maintaining relationships with public health partners, particularly with Tribal Nations and Tribal Health Departments across the continental United States. The Senior Manager will be responsible for strategizing, designing, promoting, and evaluating ASPPH's applied learning and training programs, which are aimed at providing mentored training opportunities for students and recent graduates from ASPPH member schools and programs of public health. In this capacity, the Senior Manager will engage in partnership development and management by identifying and cultivating strategic partnerships with community partners, including Tribal Health Departments and subject matter experts. This involves developing, implementing, and managing partnership agreements while maintaining ongoing communication and relationship-building with key partners.

Organizing and facilitating meetings, workshops, and events to engage partners and community members will be essential, as well as serving as a liaison between ASPPH and partners to address their ideas, concerns, and needs.
