Julio Mendoza
@juliomendoza1
Experienced program manager focused on operations, fundraising, and team leadership.
What I'm looking for
I am an experienced program manager and people leader with over ten years delivering mission-driven results in nonprofit and social services environments. I combine budget and P&L responsibility with fundraising acumen to create sustainable revenue pipelines while minimizing operating costs.
I have a track record of transforming underperforming teams into high-performing groups and serving as a trusted advisor to executive teams, boards, and stakeholders. I build strong partnerships spanning agencies, legislators, law enforcement and community organizations to advance program goals.
My accomplishments include rapid promotions to managerial roles, leading multi-site teams, managing multi-million dollar budgets and exceeding fundraising targets. I design curricula and deliver training county- and country-wide, and I have implemented program expansions that increased capacity and revenue.
I bring strengths in case management, program development, grant and budget management, trauma-informed client advocacy and staff training. I seek roles where I can drive operational excellence, scale services, and mentor staff to achieve measurable impact.
