ABOUT AMERICARES
AmeriCares is a nonprofit disaster relief and humanitarian aid organization which provides immediate response to emergency medical needs and supports long-term health care programs.

The Manager, Post-Emergency Programs will take an active role in helping to develop, define, implement, and oversee long-term program initiatives in the Post- Emergency setting. This involves a broad range of activities from scoping and planning programs, to grants administration, logistics coordination, and evaluation and donor reporting.   This position also works very closely with our Emergency Response (ER) Department and will be a key link to facilitating (when applicable) the transition of a program from the immediate Emergency Response phase to the longer-term Post-Emergency Response phase. The position will be based in Stamford, CT with frequent deployment overseas and in the US.
