Community Manager

Reports directly to: Director of Strategic Partnerships

Department: Neighborhood Revitalization (NR)

Must be flexible with hours, able to work some nights and weekends as the Community Manager deems most effective.

This position includes working in the communities where we work, at Habitats offices and partially remotely from home. Approximately 60% are in the community and 40% are a mix of home and office.

At Habitat for Humanity Philadelphia (HFHP), we are builders who work alongside, not for, others. We are driven by accountability and defined by our stick-to-itiveness.

Position Objective:

The Community Manager will support and organize residents in the neighborhoods where we work to carry out community actions and create campaigns toward upstream systems change. Additionally, the Community Manager will connect those efforts with Habitat's broader advocacy work and support the development and execution of successful campaigns and coalition building.

Articulate resident and coalition missions and visions as applicable, and Habitat's role in these efforts.

Key Responsibly Areas: MEAL (Measurement, Evaluation, Monitoring and Learning)

Facilitate and manage required measurement, evaluation, monitoring and learning (M.E.A.L activities) related to targeted neighborhood revitalization work.

Track resident involvement and create reports as necessary to 1) report funders; 2) advance neighborhood and Habitat Philadelphia's understanding of our impact; and 3) to inform more effective and equitable strategies.

Key Responsibly Areas: ADMINISTRATION & FINANCE

Work with supervisor to create and manage Neighborhood Revitalization budget.
