About Housing Connector

Housing Connector is a tech-for-good nonprofit transforming how communities use the private housing market to address homelessness. We partner with property owners and managers to reduce barriers that prevent people from accessing housing, while providing the financial and resident support that gives housing providers confidence to open more homes to people who need them.

Our model brings together property partners, community organizations, government, philanthropy, and technology to create simpler, more scalable pathways to housing. What started in Seattle in 2019 has grown into a multi-market organization with an ambitious vision: to deliver simple and scalable solutions until every person has a home.

Position Summary

Housing Connector is seeking a Senior Multimedia Storyteller to find, craft, capture, and tell the stories that demonstrate who we are, how our work is changing housing access, why our approach matters, and the local, national, and person level impact this work is generating in communities and across the country. Reporting to the VP of Investments & Partnerships, this role will work across Housing Connector to bring these stories to life for broad audiences.

We are committed to telling stories that reflect the richness and diversity of human experience and that simplify the complex systems we are working within for broad audiences. You will ensure that each narrative is represented with accuracy, cultural sensitivity, and respect for the storyteller’s own words and meaning. We value storytellers who approach their craft with humility, recognizing that the story belongs to the person who lived it, and their role is to be a faithful steward of their truth.

In this role, you will help build a culture where storytelling is embraced as an essential organizational practice across philanthropy, marketing and communications, recruitment, partnerships, program delivery, data collection and product development, and executive communications, not isolated as a marketing function.

The Multimedia Storyteller will work across Housing Connector teams and markets to create original written and multimedia content that builds awareness, strengthens partnerships, attracts funding, champions, and advocates, educates, supports expansion, and establishes Housing Connector as a credible voice on housing access and infrastructure.

What You’ll Own

This is an organization-wide role that works closely with Development, market teams, Product, Prevention, and organizational leadership to understand the work and bring Housing Connector’s stories and impact to life through writing, multimedia, and other creative content.

Find and Tell Housing Connector’s Stories

• Identify, develop, and produce compelling stories about renters, partners, communities, growth and scale, and the impact of our work.
• Build relationships across teams and markets to stay close to the work and continuously uncover stories worth telling.
• Conduct interviews and gather the information, perspectives, data, and supporting materials needed to tell stories accurately and authentically.
• Translate complex programs, data, outcomes, and ideas into clear, accessible narratives.

• We believe every story is a living thread in the fabric of our shared humanity. As our Storyteller, you will hold space for all voices, honoring each person’s truth with care, dignity, and authenticity. Through your work, you will help amplify underrepresented voices, and create narratives that inspire empathy, compassion, connection, understanding, and inspire ACTION.

Create Original Written and Multimedia Content

• Write high-quality content across formats, including impact stories, organizational materials, reports, funder and partner communications, and executive thought leadership.
• Create multimedia storytelling assets using professional expertise in at least one creative discipline, such as video, photography, documentary storytelling, design, or writing.
• Lead multi-faceted storytelling projects and coordinate external creative resources when specialized expertise is needed.

Build Housing Connector’s Storytelling Library

• Build and maintain a reusable library of written, visual, and multimedia stories and assets from across Housing Connector’s markets.
• Create storytelling assets that support fundraising, partnerships, expansion, impact reporting, presentations, training, and other organizational priorities.
• Partner with teams across Housing Connector to develop original storytelling and educational content, including content for the Housing Connector Hub.
• Manage storytelling and content production projects within established budgets, coordinating internal resources and external creative support as needed.

Bring Our Stories Into the World

• Create and prepare original storytelling content and assets for use across social media, email, website, impact reports, events, and other external channels, and support distribution as needed.
• Adapt stories and assets for different audiences, formats, and channels while maintaining the integrity of the story and Housing Connector’s voice.
• Ensure storytelling content is polished, accurate, and brand-aligned, while helping maintain consistent brand standards across Housing Connector’s external-facing content and materials.
• Track and evaluate engagement and external communications performance, using insights and feedback to strengthen future storytelling and content.

What Success Looks Like

Within the first year, you will have:

• Built a consistent pipeline and accessible library of compelling written, visual, and multimedia stories that demonstrate Housing Connector’s work and impact.
• Created signature storytelling assets, including an updated organizational video.
• Strengthened Housing Connector’s ability to use compelling, consistent storytelling to support partnerships, funding, expansion, and thought leadership.

What You’ll Bring

• Exceptional writing and storytelling skills, with the ability to turn complex information, human experiences, data, and impact metrics into clear and compelling stories for different audiences.
• Deep professional expertise in at least one storytelling discipline, such as writing, video, photography, documentary storytelling, or design, with the versatility and willingness to create across other formats as needed.
• Experience creating impact-driven content for digital and organizational channels, such as websites, social media, email, reports, presentations, and executive thought leadership.
• Strong interviewing, listening, and relationship-building skills to uncover meaningful stories and authentically represent others’ experiences and perspectives. Your role is not just to tell stories, but to listen deeply, capturing the nuances, emotions, and lived experiences of individuals in a way that reflects and honors their perspective.
• Strong creative judgment, including an understanding of audience, voice, tone, accuracy, and how to choose the right story, format, and approach.
• Ability to take creative projects from idea through production and completion while managing multiple priorities, stakeholders, timelines, and deadlines.
• Ability to work independently in an evolving environment while collaborating effectively across teams and organizational levels.

Experience in housing, homelessness, technology, or the nonprofit sector is not required. Curiosity, strong judgment, and the ability to quickly understand Housing Connector’s work are more important. Candidates with lived experience of housing instability or homelessness are encouraged to apply.

Travel: Periodic travel to Housing Connector markets to capture stories and develop content, plus attendance at the annual company retreat.
