• Support implementation and evaluation activities for new programs and initiatives
• Conduct research and synthesize findings into actionable recommendations
• Collaborate with team members, clients, and partners to keep work moving forward

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent combination of education and experience
• 1-3 years of professional experience in program support, project coordination, operations, consulting, healthcare, or a related field
• Strong organizational and time-management skills
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Experience working in Microsoft Office Suite, including PowerPoint, Excel, and Word
• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
• Self-starter with a proactive, solution-oriented attitude
