Community Engagements Manager

The Community Engagements Manager (CEM) for the Community Outreach Program at the UCSF Memory and Aging Center has significant experience in the field and is able to perform at a high level across multiple functions and projects with little direction in an exceptionally collaborative and creative team atmosphere at the UCSF MAC.

The CEM serves as the primary liasion between community partners and the MAC COP, establishing new collaborations while maintaining and growing existing relationships based on a neighborhoods-based program approach, moving forward the COP missions of providing community education on brain health to improve health literacy among Bay Area residents, support the diversification of MAC research and clinical cohorts, and provide educational creative experiences through Creative Minds, the community arts for brain health initiative. To do this, the CEM meets regularly with community-based partners to plan and develop program activities, including high level communications with partners such as the Mexican Consulate of San Francisco and liasioning with the city. The CEM attends city and community partnership meetings to remain informed on funding opportunities and areas of need/interest, further supporting program stabilization and growth. The CEM performs community education through collaboration with COP clinicians with traditional presentations as well as through interactive, community-based workshops, working with diverse and vulnerable populations within the Bay Area.

As the Artistic Director for Creative Minds, the CEM works collaboratively with artists, clinicians, and staff from the Global Brain Health Institute within the MAC to develop, support, and facilitate artistic experiences that are supportive of brain health and healthy aging, and culminate in public arts in health exhibitions. The CEM meets regularly with Atlantic Fellows at GBHI to facilitate their COP rotations and support development of creative and community-based projects during their residential fellowship year in San Francisco, as well as through ongoing collaboration after the residential year. The CEM leads the curation of exhibitions with a collaborative approach, analyzes program activities, and connects Atlantic Fellows and local artists with opportunities to support creative aging in San Francisco through Creative Minds with the COP. The CEM develops and conducts creative projects, and is responsible for grant monitoring and reporting to sponsors. The CEM will work with an assistant for routine reporting and logistical support of program activities.

To support COP finances, the CEM conducts COP purchasing and is responsible for Creative Minds budget management. The CEM will be responsible for use and reconciliation of the COP P-Card (University Purchasing Card), and will meet regularly with the financial analyst assigned to the COP Director as well as funding sponsors. The CEM will coordinate and oversee complex event and project logistics, documentation, and grant compliance, offering solutions and creating structures for efficient program operations.

The position requires balancing multiple, often simultaneous activities and the ability to prioritize work to ensure that goals are met with exceptional professionalism and in the team spirit that the UCSF MAC and GBHI embodies. The position also requires a high level of professionalism, adaptation, flexibility, independence, and and a high degree of personal ownership to ensure quality work products are delivered and performed.
