Impact Manager of Workforce & Affordable Housing

Bridge Investment Group•Sandy, UT

About The Position

The WFAH Impact Manager leads resident services strategy and community impact programming across Bridge’s Workforce and Affordable Housing portfolio — more than 65 communities — and manages the Bridge Community Enhancement Initiative (BCEI), Bridge’s resident and community impact program. The role spans four workstreams: resident services strategy and management (50%), BCEI program management and expansion (30%), impact measurement and reporting (10%), and investor and external engagement (10%). This is a role with real ownership. You will carry the ~$6M annual BCEI budget, report to the BCEI Working Group monthly and the Investment Committee quarterly, and represent Bridge’s social impact work directly to institutional investors. The work is operational and strategic in equal measure — designing service models for new acquisitions one week, presenting outcomes at the annual investor conference the next.
