Housing Connect is a pivotal organization dedicated to addressing the affordable housing crisis impacting communities in Utah. With a profound commitment to fostering self-sufficiency and neighborhood revitalization, Housing Connect serves as a bridge between people and quality affordable housing opportunities. Recognized both locally and nationally for its impactful work, the agency has connected thousands of Utahns with stable, secure homes that offer not just shelter but a foundation for improved lives. The organization believes that a home represents more than a physical space; it is a place of safety, comfort, inspiration, and motivation—core values that drive their ongoing mission.
Housing Connect is currently seeking an Executive Assistant to provide comprehensive administrative support to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). This full-time, in-person position offers hourly compensation ranging from $27.85 to $30.85. The Executive Assistant plays a critical role in maintaining the CEO's daily schedule, coordinating meetings, managing correspondence, and executing various high-level strategic initiatives aligned with organizational goals. Beyond routine administrative duties, the position involves detailed tasks such as preparing agendas, taking meeting minutes, assembling reports, and facilitating communication between the CEO and internal and external stakeholders.
The Executive Assistant functions as a key organizational liaison by handling sensitive and complex issues related to federal and state laws, regulations, and policies. The role also includes responsibilities such as coordinating travel logistics, supporting agency events, maintaining a filing and document tracking system, and ensuring compliance with legal requirements, especially concerning meetings of the Housing Connect Board of Commissioners and related boards. The successful candidate will exhibit professionalism, discretion, and a proactive approach to problem-solving, enabling the CEO to focus on leadership and strategic direction.
Additional responsibilities encompass providing staff support for Housing Connect-sponsored meetings, coordinating resolutions and reports, and overseeing special projects that contribute to the agency's mission. The Executive Assistant must be familiar with Utah’s Open Meetings laws, maintain board bylaws, and support board member term monitoring in collaboration with governmental offices. This role demands a high level of organizational skills, adaptability, and the capacity to work independently while managing numerous priorities under pressure. Excellent communication skills and proficiency with standard office equipment and technology applications such as Microsoft Office and Google Workspace are essential.
By joining Housing Connect as an Executive Assistant, you will contribute to a meaningful cause: helping communities thrive through access to affordable housing. The role offers an opportunity to be at the heart of impactful initiatives and collaborate with dedicated professionals focused on making a lasting difference. With a supportive work environment, competitive pay, and comprehensive benefits, this position is ideal for a motivated individual seeking to advance their career in public or business administration while making a positive social impact.
