About the Agency for Human Rights: 
The Agency for Human Rights (AHR) was established in 2025 by Mayor Daniel Lurie to advance the civil rights and human dignity of all people in San Francisco. Bringing together City departments and specialized offices under a unified structure, the Agency coordinates a citywide approach to equity and inclusion. The Agency includes the Human Rights Commission, Department on the Status of Women, Office of Transgender Initiatives, Office of Racial Equity, and Civil Rights Division, among others. 

The Agency for Human Rights (AHR) is seeking a highly experienced and equity-driven grants administration leader to serve as the Supervising Grants Administration Manager. This position is a senior-level analytical and managerial role responsible for planning, directing, and overseeing the full lifecycle of complex, multimillion-dollar community grant portfolios with significant fiscal, operational, and policy implications.
