Program Manager

Do you light up around people? Love this city? Obsessed with making events unforgettable? We're looking for a powerhouse connector to help put on some of Seattle's most exciting gatherings—working with sports teams, arts groups, museums, and civic leaders to make Seattle the most welcoming and connected city in America.

About the Seattle Chamber of Connection

The Seattle Chamber of Connection is a rapidly growing nonprofit with a world-class team working to strengthen belonging, civic trust, and connection across Seattle. In our first year alone, we launched beloved citywide programs, activated thousands of residents, and built partnerships with many of Seattle's most iconic institutions. And we're just getting started.

Our mission is bold :

Build the most connected city in America—and create a model that can be replicated nationally.

We do this through large-scale programs, volunteerism, newcomer engagement, and supporting community builders on the ground. As an early-stage organization, we offer a dynamic environment with enormous opportunities for learning, leadership, and shaping the future of our work.

Position Overview

The Program Manager will lead the day-to-day planning, coordination, and execution of the Chamber's flagship programs—Welcome Days, Best Days Ever, Seattle Newcomer Games, and the Seattle Community Builders initiative. This role also supports ongoing volunteer engagement and ensures strong, consistent participant experiences across all events and activities.

Because the organization is in an early stage of growth, this position will operate with high versatility and visibility. The Program Manager will work closely with the Executive Director, Charlotte Massey, an experienced entrepreneur and Seattle community builder. This role will sometimes serve in a capacity similar to a chief of staff or special assistant, helping to translate strategic ideas into action. This may include assisting with partner outreach, preparing materials for meetings, supporting internal systems, conducting strategic research, and managing cross-departmental initiatives.

This is a hybrid role, but the candidate must be based in Seattle and able to attend in-person meetings, programs, and events, including often on evenings and weekends. The role involves travel across Seattle for events, neighborhood partnerships, and community outreach.
