Program Manager

Aspen Leadership Group is proud to partner with the McNulty Foundation in the search for a Program Manager.

Reporting to the Program Director, the Program Manager will serve as a core team member of a growing and ambitious organization.  Working closely with the Program Director, Program/Operations Associate, and Executive Director, the Program Manager will play a key role in planning and implementing foundation programs, leading research and due diligence, and supporting the impact of the McNulty Foundation's grantee and partner community through platforms, visibility, and other opportunities. This is a unique opportunity to gain valuable experience in a fast-paced environment, gain exposure to the philanthropic sector, and contribute to a growing organization that is dedicated to social impact.

Based in the Brooklyn borough of New York City, the mission of the McNulty Foundation is to inspire, develop, and drive leaders to solve the most critical challenges of our time. The Foundation’s values are informed by the experience of the families of John and Anne as Irish immigrants welcomed by America and grounded in the belief in the value of education and the importance of opportunity. The Foundation recognizes the central role individual leadership plays in effecting change and enabling people to take control of their future and reach their potential.  And it is dedicated to investing in leaders who can create that multiplier effect on communities and society.

The Foundation was established in 1985 by John P. and Anne Welsh McNulty, and significantly expanded after they pivoted in 2001 from their investment management careers to working full time in the nonprofit world, becoming involved with the Aspen Institute and other civic organizations. Following John’s untimely death in 2005, Anne and her family ramped up giving focused on the core values she and John shared. Anne Welsh McNulty has invested over $40 million in the last 10 years in elevating entrepreneurial leaders and nurturing promising students, as co-founder and President of the McNulty Foundation. A trailblazer for women in finance, Anne was a managing director of Goldman Sachs and a senior executive of the Goldman Sachs Hedge Fund Strategies Group. Anne established the John P. McNulty Prize, celebrating John’s legacy of leadership, in partnership with the Aspen Institute to recognize individuals who have demonstrated moral courage, a vision for change, and have a track record of bold and lasting impact.  The McNulty Foundation supports leaders who are catalyzing change in their communities and countries through the McNulty Prize, and partners with higher education institutions that are developing the next generation of leaders. The McNulty Scholars for Excellence in Science and Math was founded at St. Joseph’s University and subsequently at Hunter College of the City University of New York to advance young women in STEM to become leaders in their fields. The Foundation has provided support to advance young leaders with a $10 million gift to expand the McNulty Leadership Program at Wharton and $5 million to establish an Institute for Women’s Leadership at Villanova. Over $23 million has been invested to support leadership development in higher education in the United States.
