The Program Manager supports the mission of the Mass General Brigham Cancer Institute by providing operational leadership and program management for the Neuro-Oncology Program. This role partners closely with faculty leadership to coordinate complex research, clinical, and strategic initiatives that advance the Neuro-Oncology program's goals while fostering collaboration across the Cancer Institute and Mass General Brigham.

Embedded within the Neuro-Oncology Program and supported by the MGB Cancer Institute's centralized Program Management Office, the Program Manager is part of a collaborative team of program management professionals who leverage shared expertise, standardized tools and processes, operational resources, and cross-coverage to support Cancer Institute programs.
