This recruitment will be used to fill a Term-Limited Temporary (TLT) and/or Special Duty Assignment (SDA) position. This position is expected to last 9 months, with a possibility of extension.
The King County Department of Local Services (DLS) Director’s Office is hiring an *Economic Alliance Program Manager* (Project Program Manager III). This program manager will support economic recovery for businesses and individuals in unincorporated King County still recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, reporting to the Economic Development Program Manager. Unincorporated King County includes, amongst others, the urban communities of White Center, Skyway, East Federal Way, Fairwood, East Renton and the rural communities of Vashon, Fall City, Snoqualmie Valley, Maple Valley, and Southeast King County. This position will coordinate and support the unincorporated King County (UKC) Economic Alliance Program.

The King County Council appropriated $5.25 million in funding from the 2021 Federal American Rescue Plan Act to DLS to support an economic alliance in UKC to assist the region in recovering from the economic impacts of the COVID-19 public health emergency.

The UKC Economic Alliance Program was established in 2022 and is funded through 2025, with the potential of continuing this position after, subject to appropriation of funding by the King County Council. The program will be comprised of the following components and is intended to support only COVID-impacted individuals and businesses in UKC.
* Training and job placement support for COVID-impacted workers.
* COVID recovery technical assistance for small businesses, including coordinating with community partners in support on accounting, legal support, and business planning.
* Community engagement to ensure that the program benefits reach those most impacted by the ongoing negative economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our ideal candidate will help continue collaborative relationships with our economic development partners and will sustain effective public/private partnerships, trust, and credibility throughout the business and development community. The program manager will develop, convene, and support the UKC Economic Alliance (which will be comprised of community-based economic development organizations and chambers of commerce), and work with contracted organizations to ensure that all program beneficiaries meet Federal COVID-recovery eligibility requirements. The Program Manager will work closely with the Alliance, contracted organizations, and colleagues in DLS to ensure coordination and collaboration to promote economic recovery across UKC in compliance with federal funding requirements.
