The Program Operations Specialist will oversee planning, implementation, and monitoring of all project activities; coordinate communication across project sites; develop systems for collecting, analyzing, and reporting testing results to multiple stakeholders; and collaborate on parallel evaluation efforts and longitudinal research on substance use and service utilization.
