The Technical Assistance Coordinator is the Alliance’s primary representative and project lead on a five-year, $10.3M technical assistance partnership with the American Institutes for Research (AIR), funded by Ascendium and running from 2025 through 2030. Higher education in prison (HEP) is college-level education for currently incarcerated students; technical assistance is the expert help that builds the capacity of the organizations, practitioners, and intermediaries serving this field.

This role is the hinge of the Alliance/AIR partnership. The TA Coordinator carries the Alliance’s voice into project decisions, leads the Alliance’s share of the work across the grant’s four workstreams, receives monthly intensive coaching from AIR, and builds the durable systems and know-how that will allow the Alliance to sustain field-wide technical assistance — and steward the Resource Community for Higher Education in Prison (RCHEP) website — after the grant concludes.

The TA Coordinator reports to the Executive Director and works closely with the Programs Director and other Alliance team members to ensure the partnership advances the Alliance’s mission, strategic priorities, and field-facing commitments.

This role is ideal for someone who is both technically capable and deeply thoughtful about field-building, and who is a self-directed learner able to translate complex, evolving work into clear, durable systems that the rest of the organization and the field can use.
