Position Overview:
We are seeking a motivated and collaborative professional who wants to make a positive impact in the community by supporting housing planning and production in Springfield.

You will assist the Comprehensive Planning and Housing team by synthesizing complex information into high quality and clear deliverables, advancing local housing initiatives, and coordinating projects and programs across multiple internal and external stakeholder groups. This impactful work includes applying government regulations to planning studies and housing proposals, assessing project feasibility, managing grant contracts, processing applications for local housing incentives, providing technical assistance to affordable housing developers throughout the project lifecycle, developing and evaluating RFPs, and ensuring compliance with reporting requirements. 

As a skilled communicator, you will prepare clear and effective public- and internal-facing reports, memos, and policy recommendations, and represent the City to various audiences. You will collaborate closely and build partnerships with community organizations, private developers, local and state governments, interdepartmental teams, and other stakeholders.

The ideal candidate is personable, highly organized, analytical, and communicative, with the ability to manage multiple projects and build strong working relationships.
