Senior Manager, WorkFirst Programs
About the role
YWCA Seattle King Snohomish is the region’s largest non-profit organization with a 120+ year legacy, focused on the needs of women, with programs serving 7,000 people each year. When you work with YWCA, you make a difference. We’re women and BIPOC-led, family-centered, and supportive of employees.
LOCATION: This position is fully onsite at YWCA’s Opportunity Place location in Seattle’s Belltown neighborhood. Regular in-person presence is essential for leading the team, supporting program operations, and maintaining strong connections with participants and partners.
Mental Health Considerations: All employees of the YWCA interact with clients who have experienced or are experiencing trauma in various forms, including but not limited to, racial trauma, domestic violence, sexual violence, homelessness, unemployment, and financial hardship. As a result, employees are at risk of secondary trauma. We encourage employees to seek support inside and outside the workplace and maintain self-care routines.
