What is a Project Manager at Stand Together?
A Project Manager at Stand Together occupies a unique and highly strategic position within a philanthropic organization dedicated to driving systemic social change. Unlike traditional corporate environments where project management is confined to product delivery or software deployment, project management here involves orchestrating initiatives that span community activations, policy reform support, educational programs, and venture philanthropy. You will act as the connective tissue between diverse internal capabilities and external partners, ensuring that complex, multi-layered campaigns are executed with high precision and alignment.
The impact of this role is felt directly across the organization's key focus areas, which include poverty alleviation, education reform, and criminal justice initiatives. Whether you are stepping into a role as a Senior Project Manager, Activations, a PMO Operations Manager, or a Scrum Master, your primary responsibility is to optimize delivery frameworks and manage cross-functional teams. You will navigate a highly collaborative, fast-paced environment that requires a balance of structured project management methodologies and the agility to respond to shifting real-world dynamics.
What makes this role particularly compelling is the scale and complexity of the network. Stand Together operates in close alignment with the broader Koch network, meaning your projects will often involve overlapping responsibilities, shared resources, and stakeholders from multiple partner organizations. To succeed, you must be comfortable managing ambiguity, driving alignment across diverse interest groups, and maintaining a relentless focus on outcomes rather than just processes.
