JOB TITLE: Program Manager, MDC, Inc., Durham, NC

Job Description:

MDC, a nonprofit in Durham, N.C., that highlights deeply rooted Southern challenges and helps

communities find systemic solutions, is seeking a Program Manager with strong research,

writing, and analysis skills. The Program Manager will provide critical support for MDC’s work

in framing an equity agenda for the South and will be based at MDC’s offices in downtown

Durham.

MDC’s approach, developed over 50 years, brings together foundations, nonprofits, and leaders

from government, business and the grassroots. We use research, consensus-building, and

programs that connect education, employment, and economic security to help Southern

communities foster prosperity by creating an “Infrastructure of Opportunity”—the aligned

systems and supports that can boost everyone, particularly those who’ve been left behind, to

higher rungs on the economic ladder. Our strategy is to:

• Frame a progressive Southern agenda by examining data through an equity lens and using

the State of the South report, blog, website, and presentations to disseminate our insights

• Organize leaders at all levels to reflect on the data and analysis and then coordinate

pathways to success that reach deep into marginalized communities

• Demonstrate promising solutions

• Scale and sustain what works to help people stabilize their lives and get the education,

training, and credentials they need to connect with employers and family-sustaining jobs

MDC has strong financial support from national and regional partners in philanthropy, business,

and government.

Principal responsibilities of the Program Manager are:

Research and Analysis: The Program Manager will provide a critical role in framing issues and

collecting and analyzing data for MDC’s education, workforce, and economic security

programming, in addition to contributing to our State of the South reports and presentations.

Research will include data analysis and investigation of issues related to economic mobility,

education-to-career pathways, and systems change at the community level.

Page 35: WEEKLY JOB NOTIFICATIONS Postings...1 WEEKLY JOB NOTIFICATIONS In this week’s edition: Local Government: North Carolina: Community Relations Director, Orange County, NC Engagement

35

Clear, compelling writing that captures complex ideas in a way that is easily understood has long

been a hallmark of MDC’s reports. The Program Manager will have the skills to turn their

research and analysis into content that can be shared with community partners, peers in similar

organizations, current and potential funders, policy-makers, government leaders, and the general

public. Depending on the project, this work may include making presentations to community

leadership; interviewing local, private sector, and community leaders on issues related to work,

education, economic mobility; and working directly with partners to implement strategies

focused on building community partnerships that address barriers to opportunity.

Project Management: The Program Manager will be involved in all stages of program work,

including developing project plans, working with partners including national and regional

philanthropic foundations, and coordinating select project team activities at MDC. The Program

Manager will monitor internal budgets, track progress toward project milestones, and draft

compliance reports for funding partners.

Partner Relationship Development: The Program Manager will be an active member of

MDC’s staff and will work with community partners to assist in the implementation of programs

and initiatives. Internally, the program manager will lead, contribute to, and participate in teams

on cross-cutting initiatives as assigned by MDC leadership. Externally, the program manager

will be called on to facilitate community-level discussions on mobility issues, community

systems change, and policies that help families succeed.

Required Qualifications:

The Program Manager should have at a minimum a BA or BS degree and at least five years of

work experience. A Master’s degree in a relevant field is strongly preferred, though work

experience can substitute for a graduate degree in some cases. In addition, candidates must have:

• Extensive experience with qualitative and quantitative analysis of socioeconomic,

educational, labor market data, and survey data

• Facility with interpretation of data towards an equity agenda.

• Exceptional writing skills that can be applied to writing persuasive and clear reports that

include the analysis of data to multiple audiences

• Knowledge of the fields of education, workforce, and/or community development

• Outstanding time management skills, and the ability to balance project demands

• Excellent interpersonal skills and capacity to work in a team environment

• Experience in managing and working on complex initiatives with multiple constituencies

• Experience with spreadsheets and relational databases

• A commitment to creating equity and racial equity across the South and the nation

Desired Qualifications:

• System mapping, needs assessment, and/or gap analysis

• Integrated data systems supporting collaborative community change efforts

• Conducting interviews independently

• Geo-spatial analysis and software, such as ArcGIS
