Vice President, Resident Services

SEATTLE, WA

Mercy Housing is a national organization that works to create a more humane world where poverty is alleviated, communities are healthy, and all people can develop their full potential. Mercy believes that affordable housing and supportive programs improve the economic status of residents, transform neighborhoods, and stabilize lives.

Beyond housing, Mercy provides onsite resident services that focus on five key program areas – housing stability, health and wellness, community engagement, education, and financial well-being. Providing these critical programs right where residents live ensures that home is a platform for kids to thrive in school, for families to improve their financial stability, and for residents to have greater knowledge and access to improve their health and wellness.

North Sound Accountable Community of Health (North Sound ACH) is an independent nonprofit organization committed to building vibrant and healthy communities, places where all can live full lives. We convene diverse individuals and organizations to foster meaningful community-led collaboration leading to equitable well-being, fewer people suffering and struggling and more people thriving.

 

North Sound ACH was founded in 2015 to be a place where collaborative learning, planning, and decision-making could occur, crossing traditional jurisdictional boundaries, and looking upstream to tackle issues that impact health, believing that people in the region are more connected than they are separate.  Advancing equity, well-being and a sense of belonging are fundamental elements of the regional work, using the framework of targeted universalism to shape and inform planning, actions, decision-making, and investment.

 

The North Sound region is home to more than one million people who live in Island, San Juan, Snohomish, Skagit, and Whatcom counties — urban and rural settings spanning from mountains to islands in the Salish Sea, sitting on the traditional homelands of eight Tribal nations who have inhabited this land since time immemorial: Lummi Nation, Nooksack Tribe, Upper Skagit Tribe, Samish Indian Nation, Swinomish Indian Tribal Community, Stillaguamish Tribe of Indians, Tulalip Tribes, and Sauk-Suiattle Indian Tribe.

THE ROLE

The Chief Executive Officer is a strategic and multi-faceted leader who co-creates the organizational vision and facilitates the re-imaging of current health and social care systems. The CEO ensures the organization is working to meet urgent needs and reduces barriers to well-being for individuals and groups who face systemic inequities within the North Sound region. This is accomplished by investing in policies and programs that address and dismantle the historic and systemic barriers to equitable well-being.  The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) reports directly to the Board of Directors which partners with the CEO to develop and drive forward the key strategies of the organization.  The CEO will directly supervise members of the c-suite, which currently includes the Chief Operations Officer (COO), Chief Transformation Officer (CTO), and Chief Equity Officer (CEqO). The CEO manages and provides operational oversight to contracted supports in the areas of finance and human resources. 

 

In conjunction with the COO, the CEO will contribute to and support operational administrative functions of the organization. This includes but is not limited to the creation and implementation of policies and procedures, overall organizational design/structure, and operational controls, ensuring compliance and sustainability.

 

In conjunction with the CTO, the CEO will contribute to and support initiatives that transform methods for clinical and community service delivery in the North Sound region.

 

In conjunction with the CEqO, the CEO will contribute to and co-lead the implementation of regional DEIB strategies, and internal practices that model emerging practices that align with equity, belonging and leading with love. This work will be responsive to real-time needs, as well as keep long-term visions in mind.
