  • Provide guidance on strategies to engage community members and current/former WIC participants in the project, including through interviews, focus groups, and Advisory Boards.
  • Liaise with State and local WIC agencies, when applicable, to facilitate data and other requests that align with implementation of priority areas.
  • Identify the need for additional expert assistance and connect subgrantees with the correct expert.
  • Contribute to the facilitation of virtual community-of-practice monthly webinars and forums that foster peer learning and capacity building.
  • Translate subgrantee project experience and evaluation findings into technical assistance materials, best practices, and contribute to national resources.
Requirements and Qualifications
  • At least 5 years providing technical assistance for public health, public policy, anti-hunger advocacy, community nutrition, public programs, or related fields.
  • Bachelor's degree required; Master's degree or comparable experience preferred.
  • Documented experience planning, monitoring, and evaluating dynamic and large-scale projects where needs may quickly evolve.
  • Demonstrated experience conducting community outreach and engagement.
  • Experience delivering technical assistance using different approaches and problem-solving skills.
  • Strong understanding of WIC and its programs.
  • Demonstrated experience using Racial Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (REDI) principles in their interactions to thoughtfully and effectively communicate with diverse partners and stakeholders.
  • Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to work with a wide range of groups and individuals.
  • Ability to meet deadlines and achieve goals.
  • Strong detail-oriented planning and implementation skills.
  • Outstanding oral and written communication skills.
  • Ability to seek solutions independently, as well as to build consensus and vision as a member of a team.
  • Commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
