Sinclair aspires to be an innovator of distinction, and grant-funded projects play an important part in achieving that goal. This position will primarily be responsible for post-award management and compliance related to each of Sinclair's roughly 65 grants or contracts worth approximately $45 million from federal, state, foundation, or other sources. The term, "post-award" refers to an array of services provided after a sponsor has made a grant or contract award, including ensuring compliance with a broad array of government requirements. The Grants Management Coordinator transitions each newly awarded grant from the pre-award to the post-award stage, in close coordination with the Grants Office staff handling the proposal development. The Grants Management Coordinator develops and maintains close working relationships with all grant-funded project directors and helps project directors submit grant renewals, interim reports, and final reports for grant-funded projects; in this role, the Grants Management Coordinator must maintain a balance of providing support while avoiding taking on the responsibilities of the project director. This requires tenacity, and great communication, problem solving, and interpersonal skills. The Grants Management Coordinator works toward realizing the big-picture priorities of the Advancement and Strategy division and the college by ensuring that each grant-funded project fulfills its scope of work and complies with sponsor conditions and federal rules and regulations. The salary for this position begins at $70,154.00 and is determined commensurate with education and experience. Why work for Sinclair College?
