PROJECT POLICY ANL 4

• Contract position will end one year from the date of hire

Amend at UCSF in the UCSF Division of Health Equity and Society (DHES) seeks to hire a full-time Program Manager. Amend is led by experts in medicine, public health, and correctional practice reform. Amend partners with the Norwegian Correctional Service, colleagues from other European prison systems, U.S. community-based organizations... advocates working in the transformative justice space, and others to advance jail and prison reform centered on health and humanity. Our program leverages intensive correctional policy review, correctional staff training, and mindset change to create measurably more humane and rehabilitation-focused jail and prison environments that improve the health of incarcerated people and staff. The Amend program is multi-year, multi-faceted, and tailored to the unique needs and opportunities of each enrolled correctional system. Amend is seeking at least one Program Manager who will be central to the planned expansion of the Amend program in new states and women's prisons.

The Program Manager will be assigned a broad spectrum of analytical, management, curriculum support, and program development duties that will require knowledge and experience in the fields of criminal justice and/or public policy and/or public health. This role requires superb writing skills, organization, and professional communication. The successful administration of this work requires an ability to partner effectively with diverse stakeholders, including high-ranking appointed and elected government officials, correctional officers and their managers, and incarcerated people and their advocates. As a result, academic or applied grounding in social change movements and transformative justice, and/or deep knowledge of correctional systems work, and/or experience in training large groups and moderating small group discussions is also critical.

The Program Manager must be able to collaboratively develop and implement innovative interventions, design and conduct robust program evaluations, and work closely with Amend colleagues in Research and Communications to ensure that Amend's impact is well-documented and broadly disseminated to advance reform beyond enrolled systems. The position requires leading the planning, coordination, and delivery of the program (including policy review and officer training) with multiple partnering correctional institutions, including primary responsibility for project reporting. In addition, the Program Manager will be expected to directly provide and facilitate technical assistance (with mentorship from Amend leadership) at all levels of implementation: with high-ranking administrators, institutional leadership, correctional staff, and incarcerated people at these sites.

This position requires travel to conduct in-person training at multiple correctional facilities. The Program Manager should expect to travel for approximately 40-60 days a year on an approximately monthly basis, primarily to partnering jails and prisons throughout the U.S. and internationally. The Program Manager also facilitates virtual training and meetings. A background or academic grounding in education, preferably adult learning, and/or training and/or moderating large and small groups, including using remote technologies, will be advantageous.

Amend Program Managers are primarily located in the SF Bay Area and are required to come into our office in San Francisco at least twice a month.

However, due to program growth into new states and regions, Amend is willing to consider candidates for this role with a history of success working remotely who are located in the Midwest or East Coast. Staff who are not located in the SF Bay Area must have a demonstrated record of effective, independent remote work, and may sometimes be required to adjust their schedules to be available for meetings and other virtual programs on PST.

Finally, the Program Manager will assist with the presentation of the Amend program at a range of international and national forums.

The final salary and offer components are subject to additional approvals based on UC policy.
