Head of Programme Management

Harvest House is a Christian, faith-based nonprofit serving individuals and families through food, clothing, financial assistance, education, and restoration-focused support. We believe meeting an immediate need matters - and that lasting impact comes when dignity, relationships, practical resources, and opportunities for growth work together.

We are looking for a leader who can strengthen existing programs, develop people, build repeatable systems, use data to improve impact, and help shape what client services at Harvest House become over the next several years.

The Director of Programs reports to the Executive Director, serves on the Executive Leadership Team, and works collaboratively with the other Directors in weekly leadership meetings. The role directly leads the Pantry and Client Aid teams and oversees Harvest House's full portfolio of client-facing programs.
