Program Manager - Maryland

We’re hiring a Program Manager to own delivery of state IRA Home Energy Rebate programs, from launch through closeout. You’ll report to the Director of Program Implementation and become the person who makes a complex, federally funded program run smoothly. This is not a hand-off role. You keep programs compliant, on schedule, and on budget, and you stay accountable for outcomes across the full rebate lifecycle, not just your piece of it.
