Organization Overview

Founded in 2004, Brilliant Corners provides innovative housing and housing-related services to those transitioning from or at risk of homelessness or institutionalization. We develop, own, and manage multi-family supportive housing and licensed residential care homes. Additionally, we implement a broad array of scattered-site, one-on-one supportive housing, and clinical case management programs through partnerships with developmental services, homeless services, veteran services, and health care sectors.

In short, we do good work.

We have offices statewide with a staff of passionate people. While we are growing rapidly, we are also selective: We’re seeking inspired, talented people who want to be effecting profound change and who have fun doing it.  

Position Summary

The Policy Manager leads the development of policies and procedures for the Flexible Housing Subsidy Pool (FHSP). Will work within the FHSP Management Team to draft policies and project manage the policy development process. Will participate in high-level program design and policy meetings both internally and externally. Will regularly collaborate with Brilliant Corners’ legal counsel and work under the direction of the FHSP Program Director. The Policy Manager supports the Brilliant Corners Housing Services Team to further develop the “Brilliant Corners approach.” Given the opportunity for professional growth, the position is ideal for a self-starter who is interested in program design and committed to social justice.


Mindsets 

You bring your “A” game to work. You inspire a culture of excellence and take pride in doing “whatever it takes” for our clients and partners. You believe that it’s a reflection on you, your work, and the organization you represent. 


You’re a system thinker. You can see the big picture and simultaneously create the many building blocks to make that vision a reality. If it’s possible to be “visionary” and “detail-oriented” at the same time, that’s you. One might say that you have a special skill at quietly organizing chaos.
 
You make sure things are done—and that they are done well and on time. You understand that accomplishing goals takes a team and that effective teams require thoughtful collaboration, planning, communication, calendaring, and a little bit of cajoling. You’re known as the team member who keeps the trains running on time. You excel at project management.
 
You have a way with words. Your communication is clear and professional—both when it comes to writing and when it comes to engaging with high-level stakeholders. You articulate complex ideas in ways that anyone can understand.
 
You thrive in an entrepreneurial environment. You’re resourceful and at ease with ambiguity and rapid change. You possess a positive, can-do attitude, and are adept at identifying creative solutions that turn challenges into opportunities. You can handle many important responsibilities at once, and you’re rigorous about prioritization.

Professional Experience

  •  Bachelor’s degree preferred, but relevant professional experience can be substituted.

Knowledge, Skills, and Ability

  • Superior writing skills with a preference for technical writing expertise (i.e. creation of policies and procedures and/or similar documents).
  • Excellent organizational, project management, and planning skills.
  • Ability to take direction and feedback from multiple stakeholders and exercise good judgment to move work forward.
  • Exceptionally good at collecting large amounts of information and synthesizing it into a cohesive, concise work product.
  • Can manage multiple deadlines efficiently and simultaneously.
  • Solid team leader who can work well collaboratively on projects and under pressure.
  • High-degree of professionalism with internal and external stakeholders; able to engage with leadership from funding agencies
  • Ability to refine systems and processes with an eye towards the “big picture.”
  • Basic computer knowledge, MS Outlook, Word, PowerPoint and Excel required.
  • Ability to utilize critical thinking skills in decision-making and good independent judgment.

Writing Samples

  1. Writing sample of your choosing. Note that you can submit a sample of any length, but we will only read the first 3 pages. Technical writing samples preferred, but any formal/professional sample is fine.
  2. Narrative describing your project management approach. For example, how would you approach coordinating and writing FHSP policies and procedures? Your response can be up to one page using 12-point font, single-spaced.
