The Senior Grants and Contracts Manager / Deputy Project Lead will provide day-to-day operational leadership for a federal professional services team supporting grant and contract monitoring, grantee performance review, report review, research and evaluation support, dissemination support, budget/financial tracking, and related program support activities.

This role serves as the senior delivery lead supporting the Program Manager and ensuring that assigned analysts and workstreams produce accurate, timely, well-documented, and useful work products for Government review. The ideal candidate has deep experience in federal grants, contracts, program operations, human services programs, research/evaluation support, and stakeholder coordination.

This role is especially important because the Program Manager provides senior oversight, while the Deputy Project Lead provides embedded daily coordination across the high-volume grant and contract support activities.

Primary Responsibilities

• Serve as the day-to-day operational lead for grant, contract, program, research, dissemination, and financial tracking support activities.
• Support the Program Manager in coordinating analyst work assignments, tracking task status, reviewing outputs, and ensuring timely completion of deliverables.
• Lead processes for reviewing grantee or recipient performance information, including regular check-ins, review of submitted reports, analysis of recipient data, and preparation of summaries for Government review.
• Support technical report reviews by assessing completeness, quality, findings, trends, risks, and follow-up items.
• Lead or support methods to track grant and contract activities against expected schedules, milestones, reporting requirements, and program priorities.
• Analyze program, performance, grant, contract, financial, and operational data to identify trends, risks, gaps, and recommended follow-up actions.
• Draft report sections, briefing materials, meeting summaries, action item trackers, performance summaries, and other written products for Government review.
• Support research and evaluation activities, including study coordination, data review, synthesis of findings, and preparation of summaries or dissemination materials.
• Support strategic communication and dissemination activities, including coordination of web content, e-blasts, social media content, data visualization, dashboards, briefing materials, and stakeholder-facing products.
• Support financial tracking activities involving grant or contract funding, cost data, budget execution status, and leadership reporting.
• Provide quality review of analyst work products before submission to the Program Manager or Government stakeholders.
• Help identify risks, data gaps, quality issues, schedule concerns, or process weaknesses and recommend corrective actions.
• Support development and maintenance of project management tools, status trackers, performance metrics, and recurring reporting artifacts.
• Participate in meetings with Government staff, grantees, contractors, or other stakeholders, as appropriate.
• Ensure all support remains advisory, analytical, and administrative in nature and does not cross into inherently governmental decision-making.

• Master’s degree in public administration, public policy, business, social sciences, human services, research/evaluation, finance, communications, or a related field.
• 10+ years of experience supporting grants, contracts, project management, program oversight, research/evaluation, strategic communications, financial tracking, or related federal program support activities.
