About Neighbors Welcome! Rhode Island
Neighbors Welcome! Rhode Island is a grassroots network of neighbors advocating to build more homes in the Ocean State. We advocate for statewide policy reforms, support neighbors advocating in their communities, and research strategies to achieve a robust and sustainable housing market.
About the Role
Neighbors Welcome! Rhode Island seeks a highly organized, entrepreneurial, and mission-driven Chief of Staff to serve as the right hand to the Executive Director and the operational backbone of a growing advocacy organization. This is a rare, three-part role: you will protect the Executive Director's time and focus, build and run the systems that keep the organization moving, and stay hands-on and present — in the office, at events, and alongside the team.
This is a role for a builder who is equally comfortable designing an operating plan and chasing down a payroll or tax-withholding issue the same afternoon. As a small, fast-moving organization operating at the pace of politics, we need someone who can hold the big picture and the details at once, exercise sound judgment with discretion, and take the catch-all work off the Executive Director's plate so she can lead. If you are energized by creating order, protecting a leader's focus, and being genuinely in the mix of the work, this may be the right role for you.
