Program Coordinator, RISE

Why you?

You are a highly organized professional who is passionate about growing and cultivating a community of women seeking to transform their careers. You use data to inform roadmaps, but you also know when you have enough information for action. You enjoy growing from diverse perspectives and coworkers while collaborating with others in a cross-functional team, and across departments. You are looking for something more from your job. Maybe a bigger problem to solve with both immediate and long term impact, or perhaps you just need a mission you can believe in every day. If this sounds like you, we'd like to talk.

Why us?

Empowering women is at the heart of what Mom Project does both as a technology start up and with the creation of the not-for-profit Momproject.org. The mission of our inaugural initiative - RISE - is to empower moms, challenge stereotypical representation of today’s workforce, fast track tech career advancement to higher paying, more influential roles, and to support women’s career advancement through a variety of our programs.

Our RISE program is focused on women of color, offers critical skill certificates alongside multifaceted support to overcome barriers to completion and accelerate access to greater economic opportunities. Our framework for success develops leaders who can “RISE UP” to address complex problems while effectively leading teams of the highest possible value. RISE empowers women with highly sought-after certifications and links them with employers committed to helping moms balance parenthood and careers, building a better, more diversified workplace.

Our team is growing as we push to rewrite the narrative for working women at every stage of life. We believe women should be able to choose both a successful family life AND career aspirations without sacrificing one over the other. Our commitment to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion across race, gender, age, religion, identity, and experience drives us and our mission forward every day. We strive towards inclusion and that means everyone is comfortable bringing their authentic and best self to work every day.

The Mom Project's commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

We move forward when we all move together.

At The Mom Project, we understand the Moms we serve are not all the same and neither are the employees that support her. We are inspired by people who come from all walks of life.

Equality and inclusion at TMP is recognizing and honoring the uniqueness of each person who works to bring our mission to life, valuing all dimensions of diversity as our greatest asset.

We are committed to being a safe, respectful, fair, and inclusive culture for all.
