Circuit Trails Coalition Manager (Full-Time, Hybrid)

The Circuit Trails Coalition (CTC) is a collaboration of non-profit organizations, foundations, and agencies working to advance completion of the Circuit Trails, a connected network of multi-use trails in the Greater Philadelphia region. Currently, 417 miles of Circuit Trails are built across the region’s nine counties, with another 80 miles funded and in-progress. The CTC aims for 550 miles of trails by 2030 and more than 800 miles by 2040.

The Coalition Manager is a new position within the Circuit Trails Coalition; previously, activities related to Coalition coordination and administration were de-centralized and shared by multiple member organizations. With support from the William Penn Foundation, PEC will host a full-time Coalition Manager who will work directly with PEC staff and in coordination with Coalition leaders from organizations external to PEC to improve the efficiency and efficacy of the Circuit Trails Coalition.

Position Summary:

The Coalition Manager will be responsible for administration of the Circuit Trails Coalition (CTC), providing support to Coalition leaders and members by coordinating meetings, facilitating communication across the Coalition, managing files, administering elections, helping to coordinate members’ funding proposals, and other activities. The Coalition Manager will report to PEC’s Director of Trails & Equitable Access and will routinely coordinate with CTC leadership (external partners).

The Coalition Manager’s primary responsibility will be to oversee CTC operations, from recurring monthly committee meetings and in-person semi-annual meetings to quarterly Learning Community sessions and ad hoc working group meetings. Responsibilities also include database management, file management, and coordination of Coalition materials. The Coalition Manager will administer the CTC’s annual elections and will distribute stipends to organizations elected into leadership positions and select others. The Coalition Manager will support external partners to distribute monthly e-newsletters, distribute advocacy alerts, and will oversee a robust calendar of trail activation events and public tabling events. In addition, the Coalition Manager will help to organize social activities to cultivate and sustain relationships within the Coalition. Overall, the Coalition Manager will provide support to Coalition leaders to increase the efficiency of operations, allowing leaders to focus on strategy and impact to expand and increase access to the Circuit Trails.
