Program Manager

You're Not Managing a Program... You're Leading a Team That Changes Lives.

Imagine walking into work knowing that an entire home runs better because of your leadership.

Staff know what success looks like.
Clients receive exceptional care.
Families have peace of mind.
Your team feels supported.
Problems get solved before they become crises.

That's what Program Managers do at Rise & Shine.

This isn't a desk job.

You'll spend part of your day coaching employees, checking documentation, solving problems, ordering groceries, preparing for audits, helping staff grow, answering questions, and occasionally jumping in to help your team when they need it most.

You'll wear a lot of hats.

Leader.
Coach.
Teacher.
Problem Solver.
Mentor.
Occasional Hero.

Your day might include:

• Coaching and developing your team
• Solving staffing challenges
• Visiting programs and supporting staff
• Completing audits and documentation reviews
• Ensuring medications and medical appointments stay on track
• Managing program budgets and household operations
• Being the person everyone can count on when something unexpected happens

We're looking for someone who:

• Leads by example.
• Holds people accountable while treating them with respect.
• Can juggle multiple priorities without losing sight of the mission.
• Doesn't wait for problems—they solve them.
• Believes great leadership means serving both employees and the people we support.

You'll typically work a 40–50 hour week, but flexibility matters. Sometimes leadership means staying a little longer, covering a gap, or making sure the people we support continue receiving excellent care.

Here's the best part...

You won't spend your career selling products.

You'll spend it building people.

Helping employees become stronger leaders.
Helping clients become more independent.
Helping families feel supported.
Helping your community become better.

If you can commit to and live with the following principles, then you are the type of person who will be successful and help our company thrive. If you feel this level of engagement is not right for you or that you’re not willing or able to participate with us at this level, we are not a good fit for you. Our expectation is that you will take the steps necessary to do what you say you are going to do and be accountable for your actions. In other words, live “Above the Line.”We understand that not every person is ready for this level of performance, and we appreciate the honesty of those who decide this is not the right place for them. On the other hand, you would make an ideal candidate to join our company if you are willing to commit to the following Above the Line principles:

• Accountability: See It, Own It, Solve It, Do It
• Become part of the solution
• Respect for others and their feelings
• Act now!
• Ask the question: “What else can I do?”
• Ask the questions: “What coaching do you have for me?” and “What can I do better?”
• Personal ownership and pride
• Reject average
• Show others that you care

Coaching teaches people how to improve their performance. Training teaches people what to do. Culture teaches people how to treat each other. Most of the employees we terminate are fired for a lousy attitude and a cultural miss, not because they forgot the skills that got them hired in the first place.
