Technology Adoption & Technical Assistance: Supporting agencies, community leaders, and program partners in implementing and adopting the technology, data practices, and operating workflows that enable the CVI model.

The Senior Program Manager will work directly with national CVI leaders and Bonterra's Strategic Initiatives Director to advance program goals.

Internally, this role collaborates cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, Professional Services, Customer Success, and Account Management teams to track milestones, manage risk, and drive sustained customer outcomes.
