The Tech Hubs program not only makes investments but also supports regions as they design and implement their strategies, pursue resources and commitments for strategy implementation, and execute projects.
As a Management & Program Analyst (Public Notice Flyer), you will:
- Develop and implement strategic communication and stakeholder engagement strategies to drive internal and external partner and stakeholder engagement on program objectives, outcomes, and goals;
- Establish, maintain, and strengthen relationships with internal and external partners and stakeholders on program developments, impact, and potential collaborations;
- Develop written briefs, talking points, visual communications (including slide decks), and memos that further an overarching program narrative that enable leadership, staff, and others to communicate with internal and external stakeholders;
- Analyze place-based policies to develop and disseminate best practices to Tech Hubs and program stakeholders; and
