City of Seattle is hiring a Director of Recovery and Equitable Investment
Our community is at a historic crossroads. Seattle is facing three crises-a worsening pandemic, the largest financial downturn since the Great Depression, and a movement to address systemic racism. Since the murder of George Floyd, tens of thousands of Seattle residents have taken to the streets to rightfully express their frustration, demand for changes in policing, and demand for significant investment in community to undo centuries of systemic racism. With this backdrop, the City is seeking an executive level leader to help advance and achieve a post-COVID vision for Seattle.
