About the role

The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust is seeking a Program Officer for the Vulnerable Children in Sub-Saharan Africa Program. You will support a multi‑million dollar annual grant portfolio and report to the Program Director, helping identify opportunities and guide grantees through the grant lifecycle. Responsibilities include grant management, due diligence, monitoring, and external engagement, with travel to Sub-Saharan Africa as needed.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
