What we're looking for • 2+ years in a related role (or equivalent lived experience we can verify through work samples). • Evidence you can write clearly for non-experts and keep commitments when priorities shift. • Comfort with spreadsheets or lightweight SQL/tooling - depth matters more than brand-name tools. • Empathy for people under financial stress; this work touches real households. Nice to have • Experience in software or adjacent regulated environments. • Facilitation skills for workshops, standups, or community office hours. Compensation & logistics • Base salary range $69,000–$81,000 USD, depending on experience and location. • This role is based in Detroit, MI, with up to two remote days after onboarding. • Benefits include annual equipment refresh for remote staff; medical/dental/vision starting day 30; 401(k) with 3% match.
