Now Hiring – Program Assistant, Equality for Women and Girls Program

We are currently in search of a Program Assistant for our Equality for Women and Girls Program. This is a hybrid, full-time position with 2-3 days per week in Summit’s Washington, DC office.

Position Summary

The Equality for Women and Girls Program provides grants, strategic capacity, and other support to primarily Central America- and US-based organizations working to transform harmful, gender-based social norms so that girls and women from all backgrounds are healthy, educated, empowered, and able to reach their full potential. As part of the program’s two-person team, the Program Assistant’s (PA) core role is to provide support for the program’s grantmaking process, program administration and implementation, and external representation under the Program Director’s supervision. The PA should be eager for an “all hands-on deck” position, with a wide variety of responsibilities, as well as the opportunity to learn about and develop strategies focused on philanthropy’s contribution to realizing gender equality and justice. An ideal candidate for this role is a thoughtful, clear writer and communicator with a commitment to social and gender justice and excellent organizational skills.

The PA is an integral member of Summit’s small and collegial staff. In addition to working with and reporting to the Equality for Women and Girls Program Director, the PA will coordinate closely with Summit’s grants management and administrative staff and the other two programs’ staff.
