Stabilization Programs Manager

Hello Neighbor is seeking a Stabilization Programs Manager to lead and oversee the Preferred Communities programming on the Stabilization team in the Health & Stabilization Department. This role is responsible for supervising case managers and case aides across the programs, maintaining programmatic quality assurance, and ensuring the effective delivery of services aligned with Hello Neighbor’s values. The Stabilization Programs Manager will also carry a small caseload as necessary, support the department's scaling efforts, and work closely with department leadership to enhance service delivery and operational processes.

The Stabilization Programs Manager plays a crucial role in maintaining high-quality service provision by building and maintaining strong community partnerships, referral pathways, and internal systems to support vulnerable ORR-eligible refugees and immigrants. As part of the agency’s Critical Incident Team, the Stabilization Programs Manager addresses complex cases and emergencies with a trauma-informed, client-centered approach. This position requires prior refugee resettlement or immigrant case management experience in the U.S., the ability to work with diverse populations, and a demonstrated capacity to manage crises, work independently, and solve problems efficiently while fostering a collaborative environment. This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated leader passionate about building systems and programs to improve the lives of refugees and immigrants. Commitment to staff development is central to the culture we are creating at Hello Neighbor.

Founded in 2017, Hello Neighbor works to improve the lives of recently resettled refugee families by matching them with dedicated neighbors to guide and support them in their new home. We’ve expanded from our mentorship program to now include refugee resettlement services, family service programs, a national program supporting other refugee and immigrant nonprofits around the country. 

This is an in-house, limited term, full-time, non-exempt position at our Pittsburgh, PA office in Larimer through September 30, 2025 with the possibility of extension pending funding availability. We are currently on a hybrid work schedule of 9am-5pm Monday through Friday; in the office on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays and work-from-home on Mondays and Fridays. We require COVID-19 vaccination for full-time employees. The successful candidate must be currently authorized to work in the United States.
