  • Program Management: Oversee multiple organizational services and programs that directly support and accelerate bioeconomy firms in the NSJV, including a startup accelerator, technical assistance programs, and commercialization matching grants program. The VP will supervise a team of one-to-two program staff to implement these programs.
