    Default job background
    Description

    THE OFFICE

    The Office of Planning & Community Development (OPCD) ensures that City departments are aligned and coordinated in planning and advancing equitable development for Seattle's future growth.

    OPCD is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace.

    The fields of urban planning and community development have often failed to reflect the experiences and identities of people affected by development decision and outcomes, including Black, Indigenous, People of Color, Immigrants, Refugees, People with Disabilities, and LGBTQ+ people.

    We strongly encourage people with these identities or from other marginalized communities to apply.

    THE EQUITABLE DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE
    (EDI)

    The Equitable Development Initiative (EDI) addresses displacement and unequal opportunity distribution in Seattle, aiming to foster community leadership and promote fair access to housing, jobs, education, parks, and cultural amenities.

    Born from the vision of community organizations, EDI responds to displacement pressures and historical lack of investment in diverse and marginalized communities, which have faced enduring discrimination and unequal opportunities.

    EDI works to bring about systemic change in city policies, practices, and investments by focusing on targeted, place-based investment strategies.

    These efforts seek to create stability and economic mobility for communities vulnerable to displacement.

    EDI is dedicated to fostering inclusive growth, community empowerment, and cultural preservation to build a more equitable future and sustain Seattle's diversity.

    We believe that everyone should have access to essential community resources, such as jobs, support services, goods, and amenities, essential for leading healthy and fulfilling lives.


    THE JOB

    The City of Seattle's Equitable Development Initiative (EDI) is currently seeking an Equitable Development Project Manager with expertise in planning and community development.

    This role involves managing a diverse portfolio of equitable development projects, encompassing capacity building, pre-development, and capital project development contracts.


    Key responsibilities include:
    Drafting contracts, negotiating scope of work, and monitoring contract budgets, deliverables, compliance, and performance.
    Providing technical assistance to EDI-funded community organizations.
    Performing analysis to inform EDI public policy recommendations.
    Delivering tailored presentations and briefings to leaders and elected officials.

    Supporting EDI Fund investment processes, including assisting in drafting request for proposals (RFPs), facilitating community review evaluation panels, and analyzing input to make funding recommendations.

    Contributing to EDI outreach efforts and cultivating constructive relationships with community-based organizations, particularly those historically underserved and underinvested in.

    Supporting the administration and facilitation of the EDI Community Advisory Board, working closely with the entire EDI team to advance equitable development initiatives in Seattle.

    Conduct policy and issue analysis and develop strategies and recommendations.
    Support efforts to facilitate or leverage investments for public benefit and/or improve community outcomes.
