Regional Engagement Manager

Mission

Dwyer Workforce Development’s (DWD) mission is to provide comprehensive support to individuals who lack opportunity and aspire to pursue a career in the healthcare industry, alleviating a severe healthcare workforce shortage, and improving the lives of seniors and the community.

The Partner Engagement Department at Dwyer Workforce Development (DWD) is responsible for building, scaling, and sustaining the relationships that power our mission. At its core, the department is helping to solve the healthcare workforce crisis by serving individuals who are often the hardest to reach—those who face systemic barriers and lack access to opportunity. This work begins with strong, intentional partnerships.

Our Values

At Dwyer Workforce Development, how we work matters as much as what we achieve. Every team member is expected to operate in alignment with our core values:

Integrity-doing the right thing even if no one is looking.
Empathy-action ruled compassion.
Ingenuity-big ideas and solutions
Accountability-ownership in every action
Collaboration-the power of we over me

These values are not aspirational. They are expected and reflected in how we work every day.

Position Summary

The Regional Engagement Manager (REM) is responsible for leading partner engagement strategy and execution within an assigned region, driving the development and performance of employer, workforce, and community partnerships that support scholar success and organizational growth.

This is a strategic and operational leadership role that translates DWD’s national Partner Engagement strategy into regional execution. The Regional Engagement Manager ensures that partnerships are intentionally leveraged to reach underserved populations, remove barriers, and create access to training and employment opportunities.

· Identify, cultivate and steward philanthropic current and prospective donors and funders in partnership with the Directors of Development and key DWD leadership.

· Expand workforce-funded training opportunities and align with regional funding priorities.

· Oversea and support regional employer engagement strategies that drive recruitment, placement, and retention outcomes.

· Oversee development and management of partnership agreements, including MOUs in collaboration of DWD leadership.

4. Scholar Pipeline Development & Community Engagement

· Ensure strong pipelines of prospective Dwyer Scholars through regional community and employer partnerships.

· Oversee regional outreach strategies that increase program awareness and access.

· Support alignment between regional community engagement efforts and Scholar support needs.

· Ensure effective connection to resources and services that support Scholar success.

5. Cross-Functional Collaboration & Program Alignment

· Partner with internal teams (operations, case management, development program staff) to align engagement efforts with program execution and grant compliance.

· Ensure seamless coordination between regional external partnerships and internal service delivery.

· Serve as the regional liaison between partner engagement, partner success, and internal leadership.

6. Data, Performance & Continuous Improvement

· Track and manage regional performance metrics related to current and prospective partnerships, pipelines, and outcomes.

· Analyze data to identify trends, gaps, and opportunities for improvement.

· Ensure consistent use of CRM systems and accurate reporting across the region from regional team members.

· Drive continuous improvement in regional engagement strategies processes and outcome measurements.

7. Regional Representation & Stakeholder Engagement

· Represent DWD at regional meetings, workforce convenings, conferences, and community events.
