As Program Coordinator of Programs, you join an exclusive team of leaders responsible for the implementation of the Alzheimer’s Association Portfolio of Community Program Offerings.

Manage a portfolio of community partners to host Association Community Programs and secure Community Partner agreements.
• Demonstrate cross‑functional collaboration— with revenue, advocacy, leadership, and other stakeholders—to identify and qualify awareness opportunities, strategically engaging supporters to expand reach and impact. Foster a collaborative, inclusive culture that sustains long‑term community impact and volunteer engagement.
• Evaluate and improve volunteer performance as needed, and manage budgets, grants, and timelines with precision.
• Inspire urgency and support for the Alzheimer’s Association’s full mission, advancing care, fundraising, and advocacy across all communities, with an emphasis on reaching underrepresented communities with limited access to diagnosis and treatment.

• Bachelor’s degree in related field or equivalent experience; three years of experience in program delivery or volunteer management. Experience in community health and community mobilization is a plus.
