ABOUT THE POSITION

The fixed-term, part time (0.8 FTE) Senior Program Coordinator plans, coordinates, and leads complex initiatives within the Maternal, Child and Adolescent Health (MCAH) Program, supporting a broad portfolio of activities aimed at improving systems of care and advancing health equity for families in Marin County. This position holds primary responsibility for adolescent health initiatives and for programming related to children and youth with special health care needs.

Key responsibilities include convening and facilitating multi-sector community collaboratives comprised of community partners, healthcare providers, schools, and Health and Human Services (HHS) stakeholders; developing and managing complex scopes of work aligned with state and local priorities; and coordinating cross-system efforts to improve service delivery and health outcomes. The Senior Program Coordinator independently conducts research, analyzes data and policy trends, evaluates program effectiveness, and supports the development of new initiatives based on community need, best practices, and emerging health disparities.

This position also leads program communications strategy, including development of websites, reports, policy briefs, presentations, and other public-facing materials that communicate MCAH priorities, data, and outcomes to a wide range of audiences. Additional duties include supporting grant development and implementation, monitoring progress toward program goals, and contributing to comprehensive needs assessment, planning, and evaluation activities.
