About City Life / Vida Urbana

City Life / Vida Urbana is a 52-year-old multilingual, grassroots housing justice organization committed to building collective power to fight displacement and win housing as a human right. We use a radical organizing model that connects personal housing struggles to broader systems change. Our team is grounded in shared values of racial, economic, and gender justice, and we seek team members who thrive in collaborative environments.

Position Overview

We are seeking a fund manager to steward REfund. In this role, you will be responsible for implementing the fund’s strategies and operations. This role is unique in that it draws on expertise across multiple domains, such as community organizing, housing policy, financial regulation, and real estate. Unlike conventional fund managers who primarily serve investors, a successful REfund fund manager will work in right relationship across many constituencies – tenants, community-based organizations, mission-aligned investors, and broader city-wide actors.

Key Responsibilities

Deal Origination & Process Facilitation :

• Engage extensively with City Life’s organizers and its tenant associations to inform how REfund can support ongoing organizing efforts, especially to uplift building acquisition as a possible outcome of City Life’s “the sword, the shield, and the offer” model.
• Source, evaluate, and present investment opportunities to REfund’s loan committee centered on the fund’s investment criteria.
• Connect or convene with REfund’s advisory committee when needed for particular transactions.
