Family First is seeking a highly organized, proactive program operations specialist to support the chief marketing and program officer (CMPO) and the organization’s broader program ecosystem. This is a behind-the-scenes role with front-row impact. The person in this seat keeps the engine running smoothly so the CMPO and program teams can focus on what they do best.
This individual is equally at home participating in a brainstorming session, building a Monday.com dashboard, tracking down a contractor deliverable, or vetting a potential influencer partner. This team member will bring order to complexity, communicate with clarity, and act without waiting to be asked. Trustworthiness and a genuine desire to serve programs are invaluable for this role.

- Design presentations in Canva on behalf of the CMPO for internal leadership, external partners, and program initiatives.
Project Collaboration
- Create clarity and momentum for program projects and meetings by building timelines, agendas, and task lists so the right people always have the right information in advance.
- Attend key meetings, review AI notes and tasks for accuracy, convert meeting outcomes into Monday.com tasks, and follow up to ensure accountability.
- Build, maintain, and continuously improve Monday.com dashboards that give the CMPO and program teams real-time visibility into priorities, progress, and bottlenecks.
Contractors & Influencers
- Vet potential contractors and serve as the primary point of contact for program contractors by managing communication, timelines, billing, and deliverable tracking.
- Research potential influencer partners across platforms by evaluating reach, engagement, values alignment, and audience fit; maintain accurate CRM records covering communication history and campaign timelines.
- Research exploratory initiatives for the CMPO.
