Community Relations Manager

We’re looking for a Community Partnerships Manager who will help more professionals, organizations, and communities understand who Crisis Clean Team is, what we do, and how we can help the people they serve. This could be an incredible next step for someone with a background in social work, case management, human services, healthcare, community outreach, or another people-centered profession who still wants their work to make a difference, but is ready for something slightly different. Your focus will be building relationships, creating partnerships, educating communities, and representing a company whose entire mission is centered around helping people through difficult situations without judgment.

Follow-Through Does Too. We are looking for someone who is naturally great with people, but this role requires much more than being outgoing. You need to be equally strong behind the scenes.

Our work is about much more than cleaning a space. It's about helping people regain safety, dignity, stability, and a path forward. Compassion, judgment-free support, and treating people like people are at the center of what we do. We're not looking for someone to simply hand out brochures or collect business cards. We're looking for someone who believes in what we do, can tell our story in a way people remember, builds genuine relationships, follows through on them, and helps Crisis Clean Team become an even stronger resource throughout Minnesota. This is a full-time position with a hybrid schedule out of our Buffalo, Minnesota office.

Regular travel throughout Minnesota is an important part of the position. Candidates must also be willing and able to travel out of town and occasionally overnight for conferences, trade shows, expos, and other company events. #J-18808-Ljbffr
