Project Manager

SUMMARY

The Project Manager will own the development and implementation of solutions for a variety of operational challenges. NHLP Ops is a small but mighty team, and we emphasize flexibility and creativity in our collaboration. The ideal candidate will be able to learn and adapt quickly, build strong relationships, manage multiple projects at once, and balance administrative and project work. Depending on NHLP’s needs, the Project Manager’s primary job responsibilities may range from managing grant reporting and employee engagement initiatives to running online registration for our biannual conference, in addition to a core set of administrative duties. Although this is an individual contributor position, the Project Manager will partner often and extensively with team members across functions, and will report to the Director of Operations and Technology.

This is a full-time, exempt, remote U.S-based position. Applicants must be authorized to work for any employer in the U.S., as we are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment Visa at this time.

ABOUT NHLP

The National Housing Law Project is a national legal and advocacy organization and serves as a support center to legal aid attorneys, organizers, and other advocates. NHLP’s mission is to advance housing justice for poor people and communities. We achieve this by strengthening and enforcing the rights of tenants, increasing housing opportunities for underserved communities, and preserving and expanding the nation’s supply of safe and affordable homes. NHLP works at the crossroads of housing and community development advocacy, legal services for the poor, and civil rights. We believe that access to safe, decent, and affordable housing is a fundamental human right that should be enjoyed by everyone. Our work is grounded in the realities that shape poor people’s housing choices. Housing security is an essential component of racial and civil equality and a critical foundation for education, health, employment, social engagement, and opportunity. We provide communities and their advocates with the tools they need to advance those rights. NHLP has offices in San Francisco and Washington, DC and staff in over five states.

The National Housing Law Project is committed to an environment of inclusion and equitable opportunity for members of the Housing Justice Network, our partner organizations, clients, staff, and board. We seek to hire individuals from diverse backgrounds, especially people with lived experiences impacted by housing insecurity and discrimination, or who have experienced the intersection of multiple systems of discrimination. We actively promote mutual respect, acceptance, appreciation and teamwork across all lines of difference.
