About the Role

The Manager, Workforce Development & Partnerships, provides strategic and operational leadership to a portfolio of programs that help newcomers achieve meaningful, sustainable employment. This hands-on role combines people leadership, program evaluation, and partnership development. The Manager leads a capable team of Coordinators and Employment Practitioners, ensuring programs are delivered with quality, consistency, and alignment to the organization's 2025–2028 Strategic Plan.

We're seeking a systems thinker with experience in workforce and career development, change management, and cross-sector collaboration—someone who can connect strategic direction with day-to-day impact.

What You Will Do

  • Lead planning, delivery, and evaluation of employment and training programs that meet funder and community goals.
  • Develop annual operational and performance plans and ensure program accountability.
  • Manage multi-program budgets, reporting, and quality assurance.
  • Build partnerships with employers, post-secondary institutions, and industry networks to expand employment pathways.
  • Oversee evaluation and reporting using iSTEDY, Power BI, or similar tools to track performance and outcomes.
  • Supervise and mentor Coordinators, supporting professional growth and collaboration.
  • Champion inclusive and accessible practices across all program operations.
  • Participate in the Strategic Leadership Table (SLT) and serve as liaison with employee-led committees.

What It Takes

We recognize that people gain experience in many ways. The most helpful background for this role will combine formal learning and hands-on leadership in employment, workforce development, or community-based programming.

  • Post-secondary education in Human Services, Career Development, Business, Education, or a related field—or an equivalent blend of training and experience.
  • About five years of progressive experience in employment, workforce, or settlement programs, including three years in a supervisory or management role.
  • Experience improving employment or training initiatives that connect participants to sustainable work.
  • Familiarity with evaluation and data tools such as Power BI, iSTEDY, or other analytics platforms.
  • A record of developing partnerships with employers, funders, and post-secondary institutions, and managing multi-funder budgets or reporting frameworks.
  • Knowledge of Alberta's labour market and the employment barriers newcomers face.
  • Additional assets such as certification or training in leadership, project management, or program evaluation.

What matters most is your ability to lead through change, connect strategy to action, and build systems that help newcomers thrive.

What You Bring

You are a collaborative and thoughtful leader who balances strategy with empathy and accountability. You believe leadership is both relational and results-oriented.

You bring:

  • Curiosity and critical thinking—you ask how systems can work better for people.
  • A flexible, collaborative, coaching approach, empowering others to grow and take ownership of their work.
  • A commitment to inclusive and accessible practices in supervision, program design, and partnerships.
  • Comfort with Microsoft 365 and an openness to learning new digital tools.
  • The ability to navigate complexity with creativity and clear communication.
  • A spirit of continuous learning, using feedback and diverse perspectives to improve results.
  • A genuine connection to our core values of Compassion, Empowerment, Interconnectedness, and Accountability.

Our Commitment

The Newcomer Centre values Accountability, Compassion, Empowerment, and Interconnectedness in building an inclusive workplace. We invest in talent development, leadership growth, and diverse recruitment to foster a thriving team. By embracing different backgrounds and experiences, we create a high-performing, rewarding, and welcoming environment for all.
