Who We Are Looking For 

Phoenix Tailings receives significant non-dilutive funding from federal agencies including DOE and ARPA-E. As we grow our grant portfolio, we need a dedicated owner for everything that happens after award the compliance obligations, agency relationships, reporting cadences, and milestone certifications that protect our funding and our reputation with the federal government. 

The Grant Program Manager owns that function entirely. This role is not just about writing grants it is about fulfilling them. You will be the primary point of contact between Phoenix Tailings and our grant-issuing agencies, responsible for keeping every active award in good standing and ensuring our internal teams meet every obligation on time.
