The AIR Opportunity Fund is seeking a Senior Program Officer to support and advance the Fund’s grantmaking, research, and partnership activities focused on expanding opportunity and improving outcomes for communities across the United States.

The Senior Program Officer will bring subject-matter knowledge in one or more of these areas, familiarity with the communities and regions we serve, and the initiative to move work forward with direction from senior staff.

The ideal candidate will bring substantial experience spanning applied research and philanthropy, demonstrated leadership of complex initiatives and partnerships, and the ability to use evidence and field knowledge to inform strategy, funding decisions, and continuous learning.

The selected candidate will work remotely but must be based in or near one of the Fund's priority regions: the Midwest (Chicago or Cleveland preferred), the greater Washington, DC, area, or the Delta Region (Arkansas, Alabama, or Mississippi preferred). Travel to AIR Opportunity Fund events is expected up to 30%. This position has the flexibility to work remotely within the United States…
