BCLTRG Program Manager (grant-funded)

If you are a highly organized, systems-minded leader who thrives at the intersection of collaboration and disaster recovery, then United Way of Asheville and Buncombe County (UWABC) and the Buncombe County Long-Term Recovery Group (BCLTRG) is where you need to be. The Program Manager for the BCLTRG plays a critical role in supporting the coordination, implementation, and oversight of recovery programs that ensure accessible support for individuals and families affected by Hurricane Helene.

The BCLTRG is a collaborative network of nonprofits, faith-based organizations, government agencies, and community partners working together to support equitable, coordinated disaster recovery following Hurricane Helene. Operating through a committee-led structure, the BCLTRG aligns resources, shares information, and streamlines services to ensure that individuals and families across Buncombe County, particularly those most impacted, can access the support they need to rebuild and recover. This position is a grant-funded position through December 2026 with the hope to extend past this date based on available funding. The goal for the BCLTRG is for it to become an independent non-profit organization. This position would, in the future, transition to direct employment with the BCLTRG.

As the Program Manager, you will serve as a central operations lead, ensuring BCLTRG programs are running effectively, aligned with grant requirements, and responsive to community needs. This role requires a strong project manager who can work across teams, translate strategy into action, and build the systems necessary to support a community-centered recovery process.
