Manager​/Senior Manager, Collective Action

ABOUT HFNY

For over 30 years, Hope For New York (HFNY) has served as New York’s Coalition of Hope, bringing nonprofits, churches, and everyday New Yorkers together to show kindness and compassion to their neighbors in need. Our Coalition of Hope strengthens nonprofits, leaders, and communities on the front lines with resources and connections that shatter scarcity and amplify impact.

HFNY invests in a diverse array of community-based nonprofits by providing grants, training, hands‑on support, and volunteers to 70+ vetted, faith‑based nonprofits across the five boroughs — building up their capacity to lead with excellence and serve more New Yorkers in need. We offer thousands of volunteer opportunities for individuals, workplaces, and churches — working closely with our nonprofit partners to ensure New Yorkers not only bring hope to their neighbors in need, but tangibly experience it too.

HFNY seeks a highly motivated, collaborative, innovative, and systems‑minded individual to serve as its first Manager or Senior Manager of Collective Action (seniority commensurate with experience). This role sits at the heart of HFNY’s growing collective impact work, leading two of HFNY’s newest networkwide initiatives — the Hunger Collective and the Youth Collective — while also stewarding a portfolio of partner relationships and managing key network events, including the annual Nonprofit Partner Convening and Don’t Walk By outreach.

This is an opportunity to drive real, measurable change in New York City by building the connective infrastructure that enables a coalition of nonprofits, churches, volunteers, and donors to work together more effectively and with greater impact. The candidate should be motivated by the opportunity to serve as a builder and backbone convener — equipping and empowering organizations on the front lines to do their best work.

• Oversee and expand the HFNY Pantry Delivery program — coordinating logistics with food hub partners (including the Dream Center) to deliver $1M+ in food value annually to pantry‑serving nonprofit partners
• Cultivate and maintain relationships with Hunger Collective partner organizations and vendors, conducting regular check‑ins, feedback loops, and performance reviews
• Facilitate peer learning convenings and working groups for Hunger Collective participants, fostering shared accountability, best practice exchange, and data‑informed programming
• Track and report on Hunger Collective outcomes and impact metrics in alignment with HFNY’s logic model and strategic goals
• Identify opportunities to grow and deepen Hunger Collective participation across the nonprofit partner network

HFNY’s Youth Collective is the organization’s second collective action initiative, investing in shared technology, peer learning, and volunteer resources across a network of youth‑serving nonprofit partners.

Responsibilities include:

• Lead and manage all aspects of the Youth Collective, serving as HFNY’s primary point of coordination for children and youth‑focused collective action
• Launch and manage HFNY’s shared technology partnerships, including AfterschoolHQ (an all‑in‑one enrollment, attendance, and outcomes platform) and iMentor (a mentoring platform connecting mentors and mentees through structured curriculum and video technology)
• Coordinate onboarding, implementation, and ongoing support for nonprofit partners adopting shared technology platforms
• Facilitate peer learning sessions and issue‑specific…
