About the role

Our programs have grown through deep community trust, strong partnerships, and operational excellence. We're looking for a Community Development Associate who will take ownership of top-of-funnel lead generation - building and managing relationships with community-based organizations (CBOs), driving paid marketing and referral channels, and obsessing over applicant volume at the very top of the funnel.

  • Are a natural relationship-builder who earns trust quickly with community partners and organizations
  • Genuinely want to own a number and feel restless until you've hit it
  • Are comfortable working with data and dashboards to track and act on channel and partner performance
  • Are energized by being out in the community and representing Pursuit at events and partner meetings
  • Are highly organized and detail-oriented, with strong follow-through on commitments
