Project Manager

JSI Research & Training Institute (JSI), a leading public health research and consulting organization dedicated to advancing the health of individuals and communities. We are seeking to hire up to two experienced Project Managers (PM) to join our New Hampshire-based Northern New England team. Primarily focused on process management, this position will generally work under the direction of a project director, and must have demonstrated ability to anticipate, mitigate and resolve potential challenges within the project management scope. Given the breadth of services and topics our projects span, this position also provides ample opportunity to contribute to our technical work, as skills and project needs align. This position will support multiple projects simultaneously and requires a high-level of individual accountability.



This full-time specialist position will be assigned to multiple projects focused on a wide variety of topics including: primary care/behavioral health integration and community health; workforce capacity; strategies to advance health and racial equity including addressing social determinants of health; homelessness; women’s health; maternal and child health; and multisector approaches to advancing population health.



We pride ourselves on being a workplace where people from a wide variety of lived experiences have the freedom to pursue their passions and take an active part in shaping the future of our work. We understand that the public health field needs to reflect the diversity of our communities and are committed to building a diverse, and inclusive team. Our organizational culture is strong—we care about each other as coworkers and as individuals and strive to extend flexibility to staff so that they can manage life, while still meeting the demands of the job. We are committed to each others' success and view performance evaluations as collaborative experiences for growth and development.



JSI is largely conducting business in a hybrid format, however the candidate hired for this position must be available to work on-site out of our Bow, NH office as project responsibilities require.



Starting annual salary is $68,000-$73,000 (depending on years of experience) plus excellent benefits including health insurance, dental, vision, and a 401k with a company match.



Qualified applicants should submit a cover letter and resume in PDF format through www.jsi.com. No phone inquiries.
