Position Summary

The University of New Mexico Comprehensive Cancer Center (UNMCCC) is seeking a Senior Program Manager for its Office of Community Outreach and Engagement (COE).

Job overview:
This position will provide administrative oversight of daily activities as well as strategic planning for the Office of COE. The Senior Program Manager will work with the Associate Director of COE and UNMCCC faculty and affiliated staff to ensure implementation of all mission areas.

Community outreach and engagement (COE) is a fundamental activity of National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated Cancer. COE spans all aspects of the UNMCCCs' programs, including basic, clinical, translational, and population research. The COE works with community partners to identify community needs, communicate those needs across the Center's leadership and research programs (i.e., "in-reach"), and expands activities of special relevance to the Cancer Center's geographic catchment area population, the State of New Mexico.

COE strategic priorities and resources include:
1) address and serve the state's multiethnic and geographically dispersed populations, with their different patterns of cancer incidence and mortality;
2) identify cancer health priorities among New Mexico communities and build trusting relationships with key stakeholder partners;
3) facilitate research with all UNMCCC Research Programs to address cancer priority needs; and
4) disseminate strategies, through community-based education and partnerships, that reduce the cancer burden.

The UNMCCC COE consists of staff who support these activities and the Senior Program Manager will ensure alignment with strategic priorities. The COE maintains an active Community Advisory Board, consisting of up to 15 statewide members who meet on a quarterly basis to review and guide all mission areas. COE also features a community-based patient navigation program that addresses access to care challenges and supports cancer patients through screening, treatment and survivorship stages.

Lastly, the COE has extensive partnerships with health system and community-based organizations that enable presentations and information sharing about cancer health issues.

Team culture

The UNMCCC and COE is committed to addressing issues of cancer health that impact all communities in NM. We work hard to create an environment that values collaboration, mutual respect and an opportunity for all team members to share their experiences and perspectives. The Senior Program Manager will contribute to shaping this team culture and will work with COE staff, UNMCCC leadership, and community partners, including the Community Advisory Board, to maintain and enhance a shared vision.
