Apr. 17—Manchester officials have posted the job of director of homelessness initiatives on the city's website.

The position, which reports to the mayor, became vacant last week when former Director Adrienne Beloin agreed to resign her position as part of a $57,000 settlement with the city, ending a public spat between her and aldermen that lasted more than a week.

A copy of the settlement agreement shows Beloin receiving $57,064.35 on or before April 23 in exchange for resigning by 5 p.m. Friday, April 12.

The job posting lists the position's salary as between $80,000 and $100,000 a year, with duties including providing administrative oversight to operations and activities related to the city's response to homelessness, as well as community outreach services to reduce the rate of homelessness in Manchester.

"The nature of the work performed requires that the incumbent establish and maintain effective working relationships with other city employees, the Board of Mayor and Aldermen, business and community groups, state and federal officials, representatives of the media and the public," the posting states. "The duties of this position are performed in a general office environment as well as in various settings throughout the city, including the shelter/engagement center."

The full job posting can be found online at www.manchesternh.gov/Departments/Human-Resources/Employment.

Beloin earned a salary of $104,219 in fiscal year 2023, according to salary and benefit data released by City Hall.
