About the job

JOB DESCRIPTION
You’re an original. So are we. 

We’re a company of people who like to forge our own path. We invented the blue jean in 1873, and we reinvented khaki pants in 1986. We pioneered labor and environmental guidelines in manufacturing. And we work to build sustainability into everything we do. Our brands stand for freedom and self-expression around the world.

Where we lead, others follow. For more than 160 years, we’ve used the strength of our brands to lead with our values and make an outsized impact on the world. We employ more than 15,000 people globally to support our great brands: Levi’s®, Dockers®, Denizen® and Signature by Levi Strauss & Co.™

This is a hybrid role so our ideal candidate is located in the Bay Area but there will be flexibility around remote work.

The Program Manager is essential to our success: you will play an important role in ensuring that the Levi Strauss Foundation’s grant-making efforts are aligned with the Foundation’s mission, values, and goals. We are seeking a creative, strategic, and collaborative partner to develop strategies and carry out grant-making to advance the goals of our social justice portfolio.  

About the Levi Strauss Foundation

The Levi Strauss Foundation, founded in 1952, advances pioneering social change on the issues and events of our time. Its community partners across the globe reflect and bring to life Levi Strauss & Co.’s institutional values: originality, empathy, integrity and courage. As a corporate foundation with family roots, it aims to take courageous risks in service of these values and strives for meaningful impact over the course of decades, with its core program areas focused on advancing social justice and improving the lives of apparel workers and the communities in which they live and work.
