This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-moving, relationship-driven environment, cares deeply about community, and operates with a strong sense of urgency and responsibility.

Community Engagement Support

• Track CRM, engagement metrics, and program participation where relevant

• Ensure outreach and engagement staff have clear goals and reporting expectations

• Provide logistical and strategic support for the CEO’s community visibility efforts
