Position Details
General Statement | MaPTCC is one of 17 US EPA-funded Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Technical Assistance Centers (TCTACs). The purpose of MaPTCC is to deliver effective, no-cost technical assistance (TA) to individuals and organizations committed to energy and environmental justice in Region 8, especially representatives of underserved and overburdened geographies among the region’s 28 federally recognized tribes and in urban, remote and rural locations. MaPTCC’s TA offerings aim to build capacity among program participants in the participate and engage effectively in environmental and energy justice decision-making (including clean energy development). To accomplish this objective, the program involves collaborations among multiple universities and non-profit organizations organized in a hub-and-spoke model in which MSU acts as the administrative lead and main point of contact with the project sponsor (US EPA). The primary role of this position is senior-level project management of all aspects of MaPTCC. The project manager oversees programming and communications, has responsibility for project timelines and budgets, leads strategic planning and evaluation efforts, supervises and manages all subawards and leveraged partnerships, coordinates the mentorship and training of field staff, and manages administrative and fiscal support staff. In addition to administrative leadership, the Project Manager works with project partners to ensure the TCTAC represents and responds to the priorities and concerns of diverse program participants throughout the region, particularly those in underserved, remote and Rural, and Tribal communities. To this end, the Project Manager will be expected to travel throughout Region 8 to connect widely with program participants and key MaPTCC stakeholders—the position is anticipated to be in travel status no less than 4 days per month, with certain periods of grant performance requiring more travel. The Project Manager is expected to uphold the highest and most meaningful standards of community engagement and diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility both within the MaPTCC partnerships and in all outward-facing work. The Project Manager reports to an MSU internal advisory team while also receiving mentorship and assessment from the MaPTCC Executive Steering Committee. Three staff report directly to the Project Manager. We are seeking an exceptional candidate that possesses a strong track record in project management and a demonstrated commitment to social justice, community development, and environmental and/or energy justice issues. The successful candidate will bring relationships and expertise in Region 8 along with a working knowledge of federal agencies, current environmental and energy justice initiatives. Demonstrating a skillset in managing large, multi-sector projects is an important asset, as is familiarity with the project sponsors, the US EPA and DOE. Individuals with lived experience which directly informs their understanding of environmental and energy justice challenges are especially encouraged to apply. |
