Corner Alliance is a dynamic, growing consulting firm that devotes itself to providing an enriching employee experience while working in meaningful ways to create results for the government.

About the Role:
As a Program Coordinator, you will be trusted to provide comprehensive administrative, scheduling, and operational support to a federal case management team. This role functions similarly to an executive assistant but is dedicated to supporting a team of case managers rather than a single executive, ensuring the team operates efficiently by managing calendars, coordinating meetings, tracking action items, and serving as the organizational hub for day-to-day program activities.
The ideal candidate brings prior DHS experience and a strong understanding of federal government operations, enabling them to navigate interagency processes, communicate professionally with federal stakeholders, and anticipate the needs of a fast-paced case management environment.
Key Responsibilities include (but are not limited to):

• Manage and maintain complex calendars for multiple case managers, including scheduling meetings.

• Coordinate availability across government, stakeholder, and contractor team members; resolve scheduling conflicts proactively.

• Send meeting invitations, agendas, and logistics information to internal and external stakeholders.

• Track recurring deliverable and reporting deadlines; provide advance reminders to ensure on-time completion.

• Prepare meeting materials including agendas, read-ahead packets, and briefing summaries.

• Attend meetings to capture notes, decisions, and action items; distribute meeting minutes in a timely manner.

• Draft, format, and route correspondence, memoranda, and status updates on behalf of the case management team.

• Serve as a point of contact for internal and external stakeholders seeking access to case managers.

• Maintain professional communication with federal clients, applicants, and interagency partners.

• Manage shared team inboxes and distribution lists; triage incoming requests and inquiries.

• Support onboarding of new team members by coordinating access requests, orientation schedules, and training logistics.

• Assist with preparation and formatting of program reports, briefings, and presentations.

• Serve as a liaison between the contractor support team and federal case managers on day-to-day coordination needs.

• Perform ad-hoc administrative duties as requested by the federal staff.

• Carry out our Commitments to Deliver, Grow, and Thrive.

Location:
You will work as part of a hybrid team in the Washington, DC metro area. Remote work may be an option.
Required Experience/Skills:

• A bachelor's degree and 7 years of relevant professional experience, or a master's degree and 5 years of relevant experience.

• Minimum 5 years of administrative or program coordination experience in a federal government or government contracting environment

• Prior experience working within DHS or in direct support of DHS programs

• Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite (Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams) and virtual collaboration tools

• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple simultaneous priorities in a deadline-driven environment

• Strong written and verbal communication skills with experience drafting professional correspondence

• High degree of discretion and ability to handle sensitive information appropriately
