Description

Description Empowering our community to alleviate hunger and improve health. That’s our mission. How will you drive it? You’ll need to be an experienced leader with innovative ideas and thrive in a “Yes, and” environment. You know how to build relationships, influence systems, and turn ideas into action. You’re just as comfortable in front of a room, in a partner meeting, or in the field alongside your team. As the Community Health Manager, you’ll lead the strategy, expansion, and execution of Community Health programming across TAFB’s full-service area. You’ll champion the Ready to Nourish™ initiative, strengthen healthcare and community partnerships, and guide a team working to ensure that nutritious food is accessible, prioritized, and integrated into how our communities experience health. Where YOU make the impact… · Lead the strategy and expansion of Community Health Programming and the Ready to Nourish™ initiative across TAFB’s service area—growing a network of partners committed to nutrition-focused, client-choice environments. · Build and steward strong relationships with partner agencies, healthcare organizations, and community leaders to advance food is medicine solutions and improve health outcomes. · Guide partners through the Ready to Nourish™ Certification process, including assessments, training, nutrition policy adoption, and implementation of evidence-based strategies such as SWAP/HER nudges and environmental changes. · Develop and advance a framework that demonstrates how access to nutritious and medically appropriate food improves health outcomes and reduces healthcare costs. · Ensure successful execution of grants by aligning deliverables, managing timelines, and maintaining accountability for outcomes and budget considerations. · Use data to drive decisions—track program performance, measure impact, and translate outcomes into compelling narratives for stakeholders, funders, and partners. · Collaborate cross-functionally with internal teams (Marketing, Agency Services, Operations, Community Resources, Garden & Farms, Community Kitchen) to ensure seamless program delivery and partner success. · Represent TAFB in local and state community health networks, staying current on food safety, public health trends, and behavior change strategies. · Supervise and develop team members, including program staff and interns—setting goals, coaching performance, and fostering a culture of high performance and continuous improvement. · Model and champion TAFB’s Core Values: Lead, Care, Innovate, and Respect. What you need to succeed! · You’re a Registered Dietitian (RD/RDN) with a strong leadership presence and 5+ years of experience in community health, healthcare partnerships, nutrition programming, or related fields, including experience leading projects or teams. · You have a proven ability to build relationships, influence decision-makers, and move initiatives forward across diverse stakeholders. · You think strategically but execute practically—you can balance big-picture vision with day-to-day program delivery. · You’re comfortable using data and metrics to guide decisions, demonstrate impact, and communicate results. · You’re an exceptional communicator, with confidence in public speaking, training, and presenting to varied audiences. · You lead with initiative and adaptability—you’re a problem solver who takes ownership and isn’t afraid to take smart risks. · You have experience managing multiple priorities, grants, and deliverables in a dynamic environment. · Bilingual Spanish is a plus. · Most importantly, you are driven by purpose and committed to improving the health and well-being of the communities we serve. · And yes—you’ll step in where needed. Leadership here is hands-on. Requirements A day in the life… · You’ll split your time between TAFB locations, partner sites, and the community. You might spend one day meeting with a healthcare partner, another reviewing program data, and another supporting implementation in the field. · You’ll be active—standing, walking, and occasionally lifting up to 50 pounds. · Travel across the service area is expected; reliable transportation, a valid driver’s license, and proof of insurance are required. We offer mileage reimbursement. · Flexibility is key—occasional evenings and weekends are part of the work.
