• Communicate professionally with internal departments, finance leadership, vendors, and external partners regarding grant-related activity.
• Exercise sound judgment while working independently on day-to-day fiscal tasks, follow-up items, and documentation needs.
• Maintain strong attention to detail when reviewing financial information, processing requests, and organizing supporting documentation.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Business Administration or a related field with two years of grant management experience preferred.
• Associate's degree in Business Administration or a related field with four years of grant management experience preferred.
• Experience with grant administration, fiscal tracking, contract monitoring, public-sector finance, or related financial operations strongly preferred.

• Must establish and maintain residency within the City of Buffalo within 90 days of employment.

Benefits:

• $55,000-$60,000 annual salary for a full-time, 40-hour-per-week role.
• Stable, mission-driven public-sector environment with meaningful community impact.
• Opportunity to build specialized experience in grant-funded financial operations and compliance.
