The Protecting Immigrant Families Coalition (PIF) brings together leading advocates for immigrants, children, education, health, anti-hunger, anti-poverty groups, and community leaders lay the foundation for a future where everyone has access to the respect and care that they need, regardless of who they are or where they were born. The PIF Coalition was founded in 2017 in response to the Trump administration’s racist “public charge” policy.

Today, PIF unites over 800 organizations across different sectors and in more than 40 states. Our coalition works to tear down systemic and cultural barriers, through power building, policy and systems change, coalition building, and narrative change so immigrant families can get the help they need when they need it. We’re building a better, more equitable future for immigrant families so together we can have a stronger, healthier country.

The Member Engagement & Capacity Building Manager plays a critical role in PIF’s core strategic approach to build power and capacity to advance policy and systemic changes at the local, state and national levels, ensuring immigrants have equitable access to quality health care, nutrition, housing, public services and economic supports. The manager is responsible for building and strengthening the coalition’s membership base, supporting member organizations, implementing strategies that advance capacity- and power-building with member organizations, and tracking member engagement.

This role serves as a key connector between coalition leadership, member organizations, and community leaders, ensuring strong engagement, coordinated capacity development and meaningful participation from impacted communities.

The ideal candidate is a relationship-builder, skilled organizer, and strategic power-building trainer who is passionate about immigrant rights, health equity, and economic justice.
