Job Title: Program Manager, Nourish the Service Department: Programs Location: Remote/Virtual within the continental US Reports to: Vice President, Programs Classification: Exempt Position type: Full-Time Employee Pay Band: $56,000 - $71,000   Blue Star Families Blue Star Families is the largest nonprofit dedicated to making military life better for families. Each year, we support over 1.5 million military- and veteran-connected family members through a national network of 300,000+ members and local chapters in communities across the country. Our mission is simple and bold: We make military life awesome for families. We listen, share, partner, and act to deliver evidence-based, data-driven solutions that work for real people. We’re a lifestyle organization, a friend and neighbor, and a trusted partner. Our approach is collaborative, human-centered, and designed with the whole family in mind. A Blue Star Family is one with an immediate family member — a spouse, parent, or child — actively serving in the U.S. Armed Forces, including the Guard and Reserves. These families face unique challenges, including frequent relocations, deployments, career disruptions, and isolation. We respond with research-informed programs that create connection, build resilience, and foster a true sense of belonging. We serve with urgency but build trust over time — because change happens at the speed of trust. Whether we’re driving spouse employment, supporting caregivers, or helping communities welcome military families, we strive for upstream solutions. Who We’re Looking For: <ul> <li style="font-size: 12pt;">Bold thinkers. Fast movers. Smart collaborators. People who want to build, lead, and drive measurable change — and who care deeply about making an impact that matters.</li> </ul> What You’ll Do Here: <ul> <li style="font-size: 12pt;">Solve complex challenges with data, heart, and humility</li> <li style="font-size: 12pt;">Build cross-sector partnerships that get things done</li> <li style="font-size: 12pt;">Help military families feel at home wherever they live</li> </ul> If you're ready to work in a high-performance, mission-driven environment — and to make life better for those who serve — Blue Star Families is where you belong. As a fully remote organization, we rely on scheduled in-person gatherings to foster alignment, collaboration, and organizational culture. This role requires the ability to travel out of town overnight several times per year for staff offsites, planning retreats, and company-wide events. These gatherings are essential for connection, brainstorming, and staying strategically aligned across teams. Participation is required as a core part of the role.   General Description The Program Manager,  Nourish the Service (NTS)  is a driven, enthusiastic, and organized team member in Blue Star Families’ Program department.  This staff member works alongside the  Associate Director, National Programs and Senior Director, Chapter Relations and is responsible for managing the national program strategy; partnering with Blue Star Chapters, Outposts, and military installations to assist in NTS; and tracking the outcomes associated with all food insecurity initiatives at Blue Star Families. The Program Manager will take a leadership role in the Nourish the Service program overseeing the operations of food distribution events and engaging in upstream solutions to combat the issue of military food insecurity.  The Program Manager, Nourish the Service also plays an integral part in supporting and managing elements of a broader strategic plan that seeks to increase the access to healthy food, foster resilient communities, and increase financial security in military families across our programming portfolio. The Program Manager is a key stakeholder in raising awareness about the organization and improving the member experience. This position serves as a point of contact both internally and externally for all assigned projects and regularly engages with staff, volunteers, and corporate and nonprofit partners to ensure successful project execution.  While this role is remote, periodic out-of-town, overnight travel is an essential function.
