The Director of Grant Contract Compliance is responsible for ensuring that all agency programs operate in full compliance with funder guidelines, contractual obligations, and applicable legal requirements. This position serves as the organization's primary steward of program compliance— maintaining audit-ready documentation, overseeing data integrity and reporting, and ensuring that programs meet both funder and agency expectations as well as comply with funder and agency policies, protocols and mandates.

The position also directly supervises Data Support Specialist staff who support compliance work.

Additionally, this position is concerned with ensuring that Urban Services’ Community Action Board governance meets both funder expectations and agency by-laws and will require working with the Board in collaboration with the senior leadership of Urban Services’ Community Action contract.
