Project Manager, Special Projects

The Project Manager for Special Projects is responsible for coordinating, implementing, and tracking citywide efforts to reduce inequities in life expectancy and improve health outcomes across Boston neighborhoods. Reporting to the Director of Policy, the Project Manager drives team-wide coherence through tracking key project outcomes and coordinating daily operations and logistics to ensure strategic goals are met.
