The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, based in Menlo Park, California, seeks a Program Operations Manager for its Environment Program.
The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation invests in creative thinkers and problem solvers working to ensure that people, communities, and the planet can flourish. Together with our partners, we are harnessing society’s collective capacity to solve our toughest problems — from the existential threat of climate change to persistent and pervasive inequities, to attacks on democracy itself. A nonpartisan philanthropy, the Hewlett Foundation has made grants in the U.S. and globally for nearly six decades based on an approach that emphasizes long-term support, collaboration, and trust.
Globally, we make grants to address both longstanding and emerging challenges like our efforts to advance gender equity and governance, reimagine the economy and society, and reduce the growing threat of climate change. Our U.S. efforts prioritize strengthening democracy, advancing education for all, and supporting community-led conservation. In the San Francisco Bay Area we call home, we make grants to support meaningful artistic experiences in local communities and support regional foundations working on critical issues such as housing.
All of our grantmaking invests in advancing racial justice, strengthening the effectiveness of our grantees, and improving philanthropy itself. The Hewlett Foundation’s assets are approximately $12.8 billion with annual awards of grants totaling more than $600 million. More information about the Hewlett Foundation is available at: www.hewlett.org
The Environment Program has two portfolios: one works to address Climate Change, and the other works on Conservation issues. Our Climate program works to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions, seeking to keep the global average temperature increase well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and supporting a sustainable, equitable transition to a low-carbon economy. Our Western Conservation portfolio is helping preserve landscapes and waterways in the Western United States for the health and well-being of people and wildlife.
The Environment Program team currently consists of 10 team members, including four program officers, with annual grantmaking of approximately $200 million.
The Program Operations Manager will provide cross-cutting programmatic, operational, and administrative support for the Program Director and the Environment team. They will be a key operations partner for the Program Director in program and team management, workflow, and internal / external communications, to ensure a high functioning and positive culture.
Program-side coordination will include support across the two Environment portfolios, creating and optimizing team processes and procedures, assisting with grant making process flow and management, planning annual program retreats and regular team meetings, leading projects to strengthen team culture, and other program-wide activities.
The Program Operations Manager will serve as an Environment Program resource to the Director and the broader foundation, providing information as needed to colleagues, particularly around the Director’s priorities and commitments. They will provide coordination and back-up support as needed for Program Associate staff.
