Events and Outreach Coordinator

About the Role
Events and outreach are critical to the NC Housing Coalition’s ability to convene, reinforce, resource, and mobilize the housing ecosystem across the state. The Coalition currently co-hosts two annual conferences, a Housing Day at the NC General Assembly, and numerous in-person and virtual convenings. Under the supervision of the Communications Director, the Events and Outreach Coordinator will manage the logistics of the Coalition’s events and increase our in-person engagement at the state and community level. The Coordinator will also work closely with the Communications, Fundraising, and Policy & Advocacy teams.

The Events and Outreach Coordinator is a remote-first role, however, due to the frequency of in-person events, this person must be located in the Triangle and available to attend all major Coalition events throughout the year. This role requires occasional evenings/weekends and some travel.
