SSS HBCU IBM Project Manager & NBNA Programs Project Manager (AI Micro-Internship Projects)
Synergistic Strategic Solutions (SSS) | National Black Nonprofit Alliance (NBNA)
Roles Overview
We are recruiting systems-minded leaders every quarter to operate across two aligned roles: SSS HBCU IBM Project Manager and NBNA Programs Project Manager. These positions sit at the intersection of AI, workforce development, organizing, and Black economic infrastructure, with a primary focus on designing and deploying Parker Dewey micro-internship projects.
You will build structured, high-impact projects that translate real ecosystem needs into paid, skill-based opportunities for HBCU students and alumni. Your work directly fuels a national pipeline where talent, research, and execution connect to long-term Black institutional power.
Paid on one project per quarter (10hrs: $25/hr)

Role#1: SSS: HBCU Project Manager (IBM AI Micro-Internships)Focus
Design and launch AI-driven micro-internship projects aligned with SSS initiatives, leveraging IBM SkillsBuild and emerging tech frameworks.
What You’ll Drive
- Identify high-value project needs across SSS initiatives (AI, mapping, hackathons, infrastructure).
- Convert those needs into Parker Dewey-ready micro-internship scopes (clear deliverables, timelines, outcomes).
- Align projects with IBM AI, data, and workforce credentials, ensuring students gain real-world, marketable skills.
- Collaborate with the CEO to ensure each project contributes to the larger ecosystem builds (AI platforms, mapping systems, workforce pipelines).
What You’re Building
You’re turning SSS into a live project lab, where HBCU students don’t just learn—they build AI systems, tools, and strategies tied to real Black economic infrastructure.

Role#2: NBNA: HBCU Programs Project Manager (AI Programs Micro-Internships)Focus
Design and deploy AI-enabled program-based micro-internships that support NBNA’s state alliances, nonprofit ecosystems, and community initiatives.
What You’ll Drive
- Translate NBNA programs into structured micro-internship projects (nonprofit mapping, program design, research, operations).
- Build project pipelines that support state alliances, nonprofit capacity, and equity initiatives.
- Ensure projects align with community impact outcomes—not just tasks, but tangible deliverables that organizations can utilize.
- Collaborate with the CEO to continually refine and expand internship opportunities that align with real ecosystem needs.
What You’re Building
You’re creating a national workforce engine, where HBCU talent directly supports Black-led nonprofits, alliances, and community systems—while gaining experience that leads to leadership roles.

Core Responsibilities Across Both Roles
- Write clear, structured, high-impact Parker Dewey project descriptions
- Align projects with AI, research, operations, and ecosystem development goals
- Maintain a consistent pipeline of intern-ready opportunities each quarter
- Collaborate with the CEO to ensure projects feed into the long-term strategy
- Track project outcomes and refine for scale
Ideal Candidates
You think in systems, not tasks. You can take a big vision and break it into clean, executable projects someone can complete in 10–15 hours per month per quarter. You understand workforce development, AI, or program design—and you care about building something that actually moves the needle.
Why These Roles Matter
SSS builds the systems. NBNA scales them.
Your role sits in the middle—turning strategy into real work, real experience, and real impact.
