About UMA

Mission: The Urban Manufacturing Alliance works to transform and reshape manufacturing ecosystems into drivers of just and equitable development that puts communities first. We partner with and convene a diverse network of partners to learn, share, co-design, and scale solutions in which people, places, businesses, and the planet can heal and thrive.

Values: We believe that manufacturing is good for cities: a vibrant urban manufacturing sector offers unique pathways for diverse residents to share in economic prosperity through manufacturing employment, entrepreneurship, and business ownership. An authentic, inclusive local manufacturing economy also reinforces and celebrates a city’s unique cultural assets and pride of place.

Team: UMA Staff works remotely and maintains a relatively flat organizational structure. We are committed to equity in pay and leadership/growth opportunities. We manage programs and people in a matrixed environment, so staff will often be part of a variety of work circles that focus on projects, programs, and organizational strategy. We believe in peer feedback and have a growth mindset to encourage the knowledge, skills, and abilities of every individual.
