Sustainability Program Manager

The Sustainability Program Manager oversees and helps grow a portfolio of research projects within the Pulte Institute for Global Development focused on sustainability and environmental justice. This includes a full range of professional level work that includes research design, project management, finance, coordination, administrative support and oversight for Pulte Institute research programs. The Sustainability Program Manager supports effective implementation of externally-funded projects, primarily in the Institute’s Innovation and Practice Division (the Innovation and Practice Division connects cutting-edge Notre Dame faculty research to help solve global development challenges), and serves as a critical link between Pulte, faculty/students, implementation partners, and funding agencies by providing budget management, logistics, and communications assistance and identifying technical resources as needed, alongside other general program support. In particular, the Sustainability Program Manager contributes to the management and growth of the Pulte Institute’s research in global sustainability, environmental justice, and climate change, and works with Institute leadership to define and execute strategic priorities within this space. Execution also requires close coordination with faculty experts and other research institutes across campus. The Sustainability Program Manager also assists in the financial management and reporting of the University-funded and grant funded budgets, and will work closely with others within the Innovation and Practice Division and Pulte Institute more broadly.
