Senior Program Administration Officer

The Chesapeake Bay Trust, a non-profit grantmaking organization, seeks a Senior Program Administration Officer for our Annapolis, MD, location to play a key role in administration of the grantmaking database and operations for all grantmaking programs.  This position performs a wide variety of tasks both strategic and tactical and has some individual task responsibilities in addition to having supervisory duties.  This role reports to the Administration Manager and has three reports.  This is a hybrid position that requires at least one day per week in the office, and the others may be remote.

This person will be a key member of a high-energy, collaborative team of 40+ professionals who work diligently to advance the Trust’s mission and daily consider the Trust’s core values of grantee focus, accountability and transparency, inclusiveness, collaboration, and innovation.  This is a full-time, salaried position (40 hours per week), recently established to support the organization’s growth and implementation of a new grant management system.

The Trust has historically used Blackbaud Grantmaking and has recently selected a new system called SmartSimple that will be implemented over the course of the next year.  The Sr. Program Administration Officer will be leading the charge on this effort for the foreseeable future, along with some other operational duties.  This will include project management, data cleanup coordination, data mapping from old to new system, configuration of the new system, workflow optimization, integration with other systems change management, testing and user training.  This is an opportunity for the right candidate to transform the way the Trust manages its incoming and outgoing grants and enable the program team to focus more on programmatic efforts rather than administration activities.
