Background

About Jessica Wallace

I’m a program and project management leader with experience advancing community-centered missions through strong operations, cross-sector partnerships, and responsible stewardship of funding.My work sits at the intersection of animal wellbeing and human services, where access to care, food security, and community stability are deeply connected. I lead programs that translate community needs into actionable, sustainable initiatives - balancing compassion with accountability, and impact with operational clarity.Earlier in my career, I spent 16 years at Clorox supporting growth through product innovation, team leadership, and program management in a highly regulated, fast-moving environment. That experience shaped my approach to leadership: grounded in partnership, candor, and a deep commitment to delivering results for customers, teams, and stakeholders.Alongside my professional work, I have long supported social-impact organizations through hands-on involvement in community outreach, access to care initiatives, and fundraising. That lived experience continues to inform how I design and lead programs today - particularly those that require collaboration across nonprofits, public agencies, and community-based partners.I bring a steady, execution-focused approach to complex work, with strengths in managing multiple initiatives, stewarding philanthropic and grant funding, and building systems that support equity, transparency, and scale.Skills:Program & Project Management | Philanthropic & Grant Stewardship | Strategic Planning | Cross-Sector Partnerships | Operations & Process Improvement | Budget Oversight & Reporting | Team Leadership | Compliance & Risk Management | Data & Outcomes Tracking
