We’re launching a Nashville-based initiative focused on helping military veterans successfully transition into meaningful civilian careers. We’re looking for a project manager who is deeply embedded in veteran communities and who truly understands the realities of navigating the military-to-civilian workforce transition. Unlike many traditional non-profit roles, this position requires someone who can operate in "startup mode": fast-paced, metrics-driven, proactive, and comfortable with ambiguity. You’ll be responsible for turning a mission into measurable outcomes — job placements, employer partnerships, and veteran success stories — while coordinating across community organizations, employers, and veteran-serving groups. Key Responsibilities:- Own the end-to-end delivery of the Nashville veteran transition project from planning and launch to execution and continuous improvement.- Develop a detailed project plan with clear milestones, KPIs, and timelines.- Coordinate daily activities across internal teams, community partners, and employers.- Set and track performance metrics; prepare regular reports; use data to refine the program and demonstrate impact.- Design and refine efficient, scalable workflows and processes. Experience & Background:- 4–7+ years in project/program management, workforce development, talent/HR, or a related field.- Direct experience working with veterans or the military community (e.g., military service, Guard/Reserve, military spouse/partner, or substantial professional experience with veteran-serving organizations). Skills & Competencies:- Proven ability to own outcomes; exceptional relationship-building; strong organizational and project management skills; excellent communication; data-literate.
