    About LEEP

    LEEP is an impact-driven, evidence-based nonprofit that aims to eliminate childhood lead poisoning, which affects an estimated one in three children worldwide. Our work involves generating data, supporting governments with the introduction and enforcement of regulation, and assisting industry in eliminating lead from their products. We have historically primarily focused on one important source of exposure: lead paint. But we are now expanding to other sources of lead exposure, specifically spices and cosmetics. 

    Since our founding in September 2020:

    About the Role

    As a Senior Program Manager, you will combine hands-on program delivery with people management, playing a key role in ensuring high-quality implementation across our programs, both by leading programs directly and by coaching others to do the same. This role is ideal for someone who loves both hands-on program work and developing others, and who is excited by the chance to strengthen LEEP’s program quality and consistency from an “on the ground” perspective, as well as a higher-level strategic one.

    You will serve as an escalation point for PMs you manage, helping them navigate complex decisions, refine their strategies, and troubleshoot challenges with governments and manufacturers. You will also collaborate closely with your Senior Manager to ensure that programs that fall within your scope of responsibility (either directly or through your PMs) are aligned with LEEP’s strategic goals. As part of a growing organisation, you’ll contribute to improving our systems and playbook, sharing insights, refining processes, and supporting cross-team projects when needed.

    Success in this role requires strong management instincts, sharp strategic judgment, comfort operating with imperfect information in fast-moving contexts, and the agency to make decisions and advance programs effectively. With meaningful ownership over both program results and people development, you will directly shape LEEP’s impact and help us advance our mission to eliminate lead poisoning globally.
