The Director's Office of Public Health-Seattle & King County (PHSKC) is seeking a COVID-19 & Health Equity (CHE) Grant Manager who will bring their lived experiences as well as their technical knowledge to manage a federal grant to transform the systems and policies that lead to health inequities. This position will provide day-to-day management of all aspects of the grant, including project management and support to grant-funded staff, monitoring the grant budget, supporting program sustainability and transitions, and reporting to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as the primary point of contact.
The position will be a member of the Office of Equity and Community Partnerships and will report to the Director of the Office who is the Principal Investigator for the Federal grant. This position is funded by the CDC COVID-19 disparities grant, which has a budget period from June 1, 2021 to May 31, 2026. Background The Office of Equity and Community Partnerships works to advance racial and health equity in King Count by addressing the root causes of health inequities, including systemic racism. This position will help to support grant-funded programs including community advisory groups; community health resources and services; language access; community navigation; priority populations; and public health department infrastructure and belonging work. The original 2-year grant has had multiple no-cost extensions and is in its final extension period. This position will support the management and close-out of the grant in its final 18 months of implementation.
Temporary opportunity. Term-Limited Temporary positions are "at-will" positions but are eligible for benefits. This TLT is currently anticipated to last through May 2026. However, funding sources for this work remain uncertain and dependent upon decisions actively being made at both the federal and local levels. As a result, the end date of this position may be adjusted based on those decisions. The County and the Department continue to work to secure long term funding sources.
This vacancy can also be filled as a Special Duty opportunity. For Special Duty Assignment interest, you must be a Career Service, Career Service Exempt or other regular (non-temporary) employee in King County who has completed their initial County probation. You must have supervisor approval prior to taking a Special Duty Assignment.
Commitment To Equity and Social Justice
Named after Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., one of the most influential civil rights leaders in our nation's history, King County is a vibrant international community with residents that represent countries from around the world. It is a region with increasing diversity that cherishes the traditions of many cultures.
The county government has a deep commitment to equity and social justice and advancing practices, strategies, and policies that promote fairness, justice, and opportunity for all - in our workplaces and our communities. With this commitment, King County has adopted a pro-equity agenda to advance regional change and ensure that residents from all communities are incorporated into our emergency planning and public outreach efforts.
We recognize that structural racism consists of principles and practices that cause and justify an inequitable distribution of rights, opportunities, and experiences across racial groups. Since declaring Racism is a Public Health Crisis in June 2020, King County and Public Health committed to being intentionally anti-racist and accountable to Black, Indigenous and People of Color communities.
