Job description

Overview
Under the general direction of the Senior Program Manager of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Programs or designee, the SNAP Program Manager provides leadership and operational oversight of the SNAP Employment and Training (known in Massachusetts as SNAP Path to Work) team within ForHealth Consulting. This role is responsible for managing staff and coordinating SNAP team activities, including partner recruitment and training, budget development, federal and state claiming processes, performance monitoring, and general departmental operations. The position is tasked with leading initiatives that advance ForHealth Consulting's SNAP portfolio.
The successful candidate for this position will demonstrate operational management expertise, a strong aptitude for creative problem-solving, a commitment to implementing process improvements and innovative practices, and a comfort level with budgeting and financial decision-making.

This position may require occasional travel to locations within Massachusetts and elsewhere in New England.
The Access and Eligibility Services (AES) group is part of ForHealth Consulting, a division of UMass Chan Medical School. AES supports critical state and federal public assistance programs on behalf of the Massachusetts Department of Transitional Assistance (DTA) to help hundreds of thousands of low-income individuals in Massachusetts with food and shelter expenses. ForHealth Consulting contracts with community organizations and agencies who provide services to DTA SNAP clients and applicants. SNAP Path to Work is a program that connects SNAP clients in Massachusetts with community providers of job skills training programs and employment preparation. The SNAP team at ForHealth Consulting assists DTA's SNAP community partners to obtain federal dollars for eligible services under the SNAP Path to Work and Outreach programs by identifying allowable activities and funding streams, offering training and technical assistance, reviewing quarterly claims, and disbursing federal reimbursements.
