·       Provide technical assistance to grantees related to program implementation, sustainability, and performance measurement.

·       Collaborate with internal TDH partners, including fiscal, contracts, epidemiology, and legal teams, to ensure compliance with federal and state grant requirements.

·       Participate in site visits, learning collaboratives, and cross-program coordination activities as needed.

·       Contribute to evaluation, reporting, and continuous quality improvement efforts for the HRP MCH portfolio.

Minimum Requirements:

Graduation from an accredited college or university with a bachelor’s degree; a master’s degree in public health, health administration, or a related field preferred. Experience in public health program management, grant oversight, or maternal and child health systems.
