UWGC - Manager, Community Development Union/Anson Counties
About The Position
United Way of Greater Charlotte is boldly investing in what if. When Charlotte ranked last in the nation for economic mobility, United Way challenged ourselves and others to say what if every neighborhood has the resources it needs to break the cycle of poverty? And what if every person has equal access to opportunities? In response, United Way is going directly to where the needs are the greatest and is bringing new voices to the table to promote racial equity and ensure every neighborhood thrives. We believe that by challenging the 'what ifs' and moving together in hope, we can build thriving communities. The Manager, Community Development, is accountable for managing all efforts surrounding annual revenue generation and community impact initiatives in Union and Anson Counties, North Carolina. This individual reports to the Vice President of Philanthropy with a dotted line to the Director of Community Initiatives, reflecting the dual nature of this role. Strong collaboration across both departments is essential to success in this role. This position is an important member of both the Philanthropy and Community Impact teams. An ideal candidate will be a highly organized, self-motivated strategic thinker with strong project and time management skills who works well in a hybrid, multi-site environment with limited supervision.
