Job Summary

Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah seeks a skilled and dynamic Program(s) Manager to join the Office of Community Outreach and Engagement. The successful candidate will assist with planning, implementation, and evaluation of Huntsman Cancer Institute’s community outreach and engagement efforts, specifically working with American Indian residents in rural, frontier, urban, and Tribal areas throughout the Mountain West – a region that includes Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming.

With supervision, the manager will be responsible for planning, organizing, evaluating, and managing all aspects pertaining to multiple program functions of the American Indian Program within the Office of Community Outreach and Engagement, including collaboration with team members, community leaders, community organizations, clinicians, and researchers.

As an integrated staff member, the manager will work to improve knowledge and health behaviors through risk reduction and screening interventions, prevention education, promotion of clinical trials, and engagement in research, among others. The manager will center Tribal sovereignty and employ a culturally grounded approach, centering Native traditions, values, language, and communities.

Occasional evening and weekend hours as well as frequent regional travel. This requires flexibility and ability to drive one’s own vehicle and University vehicles. Daily tasks can be done in a hybrid working environment, with a mix of in-person commitments, regional travel, and tasks that can be completed virtually.

In your cover letter or during your interview process, we invite you to share how your professional experiences have prepared you to serve as a member of our team as we work to reduce the cancer burden experienced by all people and communities. This may include description of your prior experiences related to research, prevention, clinical care, community engagement/outreach, training, administration, or other areas relevant to Huntsman Cancer Institute’s mission and this position.
