About Napolitan Institute:
Napolitan Institute is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to lift up and amplify the voice of the American people so loudly that it cannot be ignored in the halls of power.
We are launching an innovative new program that leverages the power of AI to extract crucial insights from data to better understand the views and values of the American people. This program will be the first of its kind in unearthing voter sentiments across a wide variety of topics. Our goal is to better understand what Americans want and to connect those desires with policymakers at all levels of government.
We are seeking a dynamic and experienced Assistant Program Manager to support this exciting initiative. You would be responsible for bridging the development of the initiative with the strategic goals of our organization.
About the Role:
The Assistant Program Manager will be responsible for supporting the overall planning, execution, and success of our new AI powered insights program. This role requires a unique blend of engagement with AI developments, program management expertise, and a passion for leveraging data to drive meaningful conversations in the public dialogue. You will work closely with the Executive Director, partner organizations, and internal stakeholders to ensure the program delivers valuable insights that inform our mission-driven work.
The Assistant Program Manager will report directly to the Executive Director. This is a full-time, virtual position that can be based anywhere in the United States. Domestic travel of up to 20% for meetings may be required.

- Project Management: Manage all aspects of the program lifecycle, including planning, execution, monitoring, and evaluation, ensuring projects are delivered on time and within budget.
- Data Interpretation, Moderation, and Application: Work with research teams and program staff to interpret and moderate the insights generated by the AI models and translate them into high impact deliverables. This will require sound judgment and an ability to discern if responses should/should not be included.
- Reporting and Evaluation: Develop and implement monitoring and evaluation frameworks to track program progress, measure impact, and report findings to internal and external stakeholders.
- Ethical Considerations: Ensure the ethical and responsible use of AI and polling data, including data privacy and bias mitigation.
- Communication and Advocacy: Communicate program findings and insights effectively to internal and external audiences.
- Team Collaboration: Foster a collaborative and productive working environment across technical and non-technical teams.
- Grant Reporting and Fundraising Support: Contribute to grant proposals and reports by articulating the program’s goals, activities, and impact.
Qualifications:
- 3+ years of experience in program management, preferably within a nonprofit or AI focused company.
- Experience working with data and technology, with a strong understanding of analyzing qualitative and quantitative data.
- Ability to travel, up to 20%.
- Proven ability to support complex projects with multiple stakeholders and timelines.
- Excellent communication, interpersonal, and presentation skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical audiences.
- Strong organizational, problem-solving, and analytical skills.
- A strong commitment to the mission and values of the organization and a belief in the wisdom of the American people.
