Municipal Training and Technical Assistance Project Manager

About the Role

RIZE Massachusetts (RIZE) is an independent non-profit foundation working to end the opioid epidemic in Massachusetts and reduce its devastating impact on people, communities, and the economy. Launched in 2017, RIZE is the result of visionary, influential providers, payers, unions, and advocates coming together to address the alarming increase in opioid use disorder (OUD) and overdose in Massachusetts. RIZE has generated close to $25 million for prevention and treatment services, research, and convenings, making great strides as the only foundation dedicated solely to funding solutions to end the opioid crisis across the state.

RIZE embraces innovation, connectivity, collaboration, and inclusivity—ensuring that those with lived experience are members of this partnership. RIZE employees are hosted by Mass General Brigham, a founding member of RIZE.

About Mosaic

Mosaic Opioid Recovery Partnership (Mosaic), funded by the MA Department of Public Health, Bureau of Substance Addiction Services and powered by RIZE Massachusetts Foundation (RIZE), is a unique public-private collaboration designed to support initiatives addressing the opioid overdose crisis in historically underserved communities with high rates of opioid-related overdose deaths. Funding comes from the Massachusetts Opioid Recovery and Remediation Fund (ORRF), resulting from legal efforts to demand justice from private companies for harms caused by the opioid epidemic.

RIZE manages the Municipal Training and Technical Assistance (Muni TTA) Program, aligning with Mosaic’s mission to ensure opioid abatement funds are invested in and remain within the most impacted communities, fueling transformative change through grassroots, community-led efforts.
