Indianapolis Program Manager

Back on My Feet is a national nonprofit that uses the power of running and community to help people experiencing homelessness and addiction transform their lives. Operating across 14 markets, we meet members where they are — before sunrise, on the road, in community — and challenge them to do something hard together. That challenge is where transformation begins. Since our founding, we have believed that when you change how someone sees themselves, you change what they believe is possible.

Running is how we start. The rest follows.

Everything we do is guided by four anchors. They are not aspirational — they are operational.

We measure success by transformation, not activity. The Program Manager is the local owner of that standard. Every program decision, every partner conversation, every day-to-day call must be traceable to one question: are we creating transformation that wouldn't happen without us?

The Program Manager is responsible for ensuring running stays structurally central to local delivery — not as a requirement on paper, but as a living, daily practice that members, volunteers, and staff experience as real.

Real transformation happens in communities, not across them. The Program Manager is the face of BoMF in their chapter: embedded, trusted, and accountable. The chapter should feel like BoMF. It should also feel like home.

Back on My Feet runs on people. The Program Manager is responsible for the humans who make this possible in their chapter: members, alumni, volunteers, and local staff — ensuring they are supported, developed, and connected to something larger than any single chapter.

The Program Manager (PM) is responsible for overall local program operations, ensuring a sustainable, effective, and efficient program that achieves Back on My Feet's primary objective of helping members obtain and sustain employment, housing, and work toward stability. The PM manages and engages volunteers to support members along their journey toward self-sufficiency, and is responsible for developing and maintaining key relationships critical to program implementation — facility relationships, corporate partnerships, and community partnerships.

The PM grows impact and adds value for members, alumni, volunteers, and donors through principled entrepreneurship, innovation, and informed experimentation within the overall organizational vision.

In a market where the PM is the sole staff member, the Program Manager reports to the Territory Director for all program delivery, member outcomes, volunteer engagement, and chapter operations. Where a Program Specialist is assigned to the chapter, the Program Manager directly supervises that role.
