The Duchossois Family Foundation is looking for an experienced project and process manager with excellent communication, critical thinking, and administrative skills to fill a full-time Program Associate position. The Program Associate will serve as the first point of contact for grantees and the public, providing information on the Foundation’s grantmaking guidelines and application processes. This position is responsible for managing an evolving grantmaking structure and process for all the Foundation’s grantees. This is an exciting role for candidates who are motivated by a long-term career opportunity at the Foundation. Prior engagement with foundations, grants management, or other relevant nonprofit experience is preferred, but not required. The ideal candidate will have the ability to interact and build relationships with a variety of external and internal audiences, including Foundation and family office staff, board members, and current and potential grantee partners. TDFF’s small office environment requires the Program Associate to be a team player who can support a variety of projects at all levels. The candidate must be self‑motivated, attentive to details, and consistently exhibit good judgment and integrity. Ideally, the position would start in the summer of 2024. The Foundation strongly encourages candidates from all backgrounds to apply. #J-18808-Ljbffr
