ADMINISTRATIVE & MARKETING SPECIALIST

Full Time

Job Summary:

The Women’s Home Preservation is looking for a self-starter, dedicated and organized administration and communication specialist to join our team. We are a mission-driven real estate investment firm that rebuilds formerly redlined communities with a focus on promoting beautiful housing for women. We are specially looking for an equity-minded individual who believes in wealth creation in minority communities. You will support fundraising and grant writing tasks and manage the Women’s Home Preservation’s branding, marketing strategies, social media, website campaigns, and internal/external communications with the goal of growing the Women’s Home Preservation’s mission.

Company Profile:

We are a mission-driven real estate development firm dedicated to transforming structurally disinvested communities with a focus on creating edifying housing for women who are heads of households (single mothers, widows). Our approach is to restore the social and cultural rather than the built environment only. For this reason, we co-create with the community. Working hand in hand with a community, we bring about projects of scale and significance to force a paradigm shift in one’s view of a community. Where one would expect another small rehab, we bring on the power of our high-caliber partners to execute on our bold and transformative visions. Concurrently with the built activities, we work with the community to develop the cultural, political, and socioeconomic dimensions of our projects.
