ABOUT FUSE

FUSE is a national nonprofit that partners with local governments to address pressing challenges with equitable solutions. We place experienced professionals within city and county agencies to lead strategic projects that are designed to narrow racial disparities, accelerate systems change, and increase government effectiveness.

POSITION OVERVIEW

Reporting to the Vice President of Strategic Partnerships, the Manager will help ensure the efficiency and effectiveness of FUSE’s Strategic Partnerships team. This team builds connections with local government leaders, designs executive-level fellowship projects, secures contracts with governments, and manages long-term relationships with local and national partners. The Manager will support each Partnerships Director, guide the Associate’s administrative tasks, and lead special projects aimed at enhancing both the department and the organization-at-large.

The ideal candidate is a detail-oriented project manager passionate about operational excellence, process improvement, and systems optimization. A natural relationship-builder, this collaborative leader will work closely with four Directors of Strategic Partnerships—who each oversee government relationships across specific regions—while partnering with internal teams and external stakeholders to strengthen operational processes and execute contracts.

    • Collaborate with the VP and Directors to ensure that all processes are consistently aligned with organizational goals.
  3. Salesforce Management
    • Help oversee the vision and build out of Salesforce systems to support strategic goals.
  4. Contract Management
    • Oversee the entire contract lifecycle, including drafting, negotiating, reviewing, amending, and managing small contracts.
    • Engage directly with partners on behalf of the Directors of Strategic Partnerships.
  5. Vendor and Writer Management
    • Oversee relationships with vendors supporting the Strategic Partnerships team.
  6. Market Research
    • Help establish a market research strategy to identify trends, opportunities, and challenges.
