Operations and Programs Manager

About this role

This is AGL's internal engine role. The Operations and Programs Coordinator keeps everything moving, from event logistics to participant follow-up to outcome documentation. You work directly with the Chief Program Officer to strengthen every grant application and partnership conversation.

What you will do

• Support the logistics of AGL's programs, the Great Identity and Reconnection Campus Tour and Community DNA Pop-Up Events, and AGL Genetic Counselor & Genealogists.
• Communicate with event venues, co-host organizations, and participants before and after events.
• Manage RSVPs, sign-in sheets, and participant data for all programs.
• Document every event with photos, participant counts, and testimonials.
• Maintain AGL's program calendar and send weekly reminders to relevant team members.
• Support the 50-Day DNA Health and Wellness Challenge by managing participant communications and tracking completion.
• Prepare program summary reports for grant applications.
• Track weekly team deliverables and flag anything at risk of falling behind to the Chief Program Officer.

What we are looking for

• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
• Experience in event coordination, program management, or nonprofit operations
• Comfortable with Google Workspace tools — Docs, Sheets, Forms, and Calendar
• Dallas-based preferred, but remote candidates with strong communication skills will be considered.
• Passionate about African heritage, diaspora reconnection, or community health
• Proactive — you follow up without being asked and flag problems before they become crises.
