Jenny Claire Carey Promoted to Post Award Operations Manager
We are delighted to announce the promotion of Jenny Claire Carey to the position of Post Award Operations Manager. Jenny Claire has shown exceptional dedication and expertise in her work with grants, making her an invaluable member of our team. Her passion and desire to embrace new challenges have driven her to this well-deserved promotion.
When asked why she was interested in this new position, Jenny Claire said, “I was interested in the Post Award Operations Manager position because I enjoy the work that I do with grants but was ready to welcome new challenges with this role. I also really enjoy my colleagues and would like to continue working with them as I grow in my career.”
In her new role, Jenny Claire’s responsibilities will expand significantly. “In addition to the oversight of a vast and complex grant management caseload, I am now overseeing departmental operating budgets, annual budget development, internally funded seed grants, and pilot grants, as well as serving on the OIBR Management Team,” she explained. This role will allow her to leverage her extensive experience and skills in new and impactful ways.
Jenny Claire attributes her promotion to the skills and experiences she has gained over the years. “Over the last few years, I worked with Paula McIntyre, who was previously in this position, to gain a better understanding of the business processes within the Institute that I didn’t necessarily see working with grants alone. I’ve also taken on the Institute’s largest and most complex grants and continually asked for new projects and challenges because I believe doing the work is the best way to gain skills and experience.”
Looking forward, Jenny Claire hopes to be a supportive and collaborative leader. “I hope to be someone that the OIBR team feels confident to come to with questions and issues and am hopeful that we will be able to collaborate and continue OIBR’s success.”
Please join us in congratulating Jenny Claire Carey on her promotion and wishing her continued success in her new role!
