Job Description

Community Partnership Manager – Oregon Office

Full-Time | Monday–Friday | In-Office & Community-Based

We’re looking for a Community Partnership Manager to help lead our diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts and strengthen relationships with Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprises (MWBE) across our Affordable Housing and Public Work projects.
