Founding Director, King County Partners Group

King County is at a precipice. Our region has some of the highest rates of homelessness, and people need both short term services and long term solutions with permanent housing.

The King County Partners Group (KCPG) is a start-up strategic initiative to advance solutions to homelessness in King County. We are seeking its Founding Director.

As the Founding Director, you will launch this new venture from the ground up, hiring your own team of seven. Your team will work alongside community partners and bring together diverse external stakeholders to closely partner with government on advancing solutions to homelessness in King County that are racially equitable, community-driven and data-informed. The KCPG is steered and supported by people with lived experience, service providers, philanthropy, business, and government in an effort to leverage, align, and coordinate non-governmental activities.

You are an experienced leader who is equal parts collaborator, facilitator, and visionary. You ground your leadership in racial equity and social justice. You thrive on achieving short term wins in the aim of long term strategy. You are a communicator who can effectively speak to diverse audiences and facilitate transparent planning and implementation processes.

Your leadership of this initiative will help catalyze widespread innovative and iterative solutions to homelessness in our region.
