Position Background:
The Chesapeake Bay Trust, a non-profit grantmaking organization, seeks a Senior Compliance Officer to provide support to the Program and Finance teams on grants, contracts, and partnerships received from our funders as well as grants and contracts distributed from the Trust to our awardees. The Compliance Officer will develop practices for and provide ongoing oversight to grant management operations (both incoming and outgoing), ensuring the appropriate use and accurate reporting of all financial transactions on grants and contracts. This role reports to the Administration and Compliance Manager within the Finance and Administration team.
This person will be a key member of a high-energy, collaborative team of 30 professionals who work diligently to advance the Trust’s mission and daily consider the Trust’s core values of grantee focus, accountability and transparency, inclusiveness, collaboration, and innovation. This is a full-time, salaried position (40 hours per week), newly created to support the organization’s growth. Since this is a new position, the right candidate will have the opportunity to showcase his/her/their skills by designing the most efficient and effective processes to meet the requirements.

Established in 1985, the Chesapeake Bay Trust uses grantmaking as a method to promote community-based participation in the restoration and protection of the natural resources of Maryland and the Chesapeake Bay region. In the past fifteen years, the Trust has doubled its grant-making five times through new revenue from a wide range of partners, with current annual grant-making of approximately $25 million. The Trust currently allocates these grant funds through 350-400 awards per year to entities who apply through open, competitive calls for proposals as well as programs such as the Chesapeake Conservation Corps.
