Vice President of Human Resources

with Power Forward Communities


The Organization

Overview: Power Forward Communities’ (PFC) coalition of five of the country’s most trusted national nonprofits – United Way Worldwide, Habitat for Humanity International, Enterprise Community Partners, Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC), and Rewiring America – have collectively spent decades building stronger, healthier, affordable communities and homes across urban, rural, and tribal areas nationwide. Together PFC will help Americans, especially those in low-income and disadvantaged communities, adopt clean energy technologies to save money on their home utility bills and improve their health.

The current landscape: PFC was awarded a $2 billion grant in the Environmental Protection Agency’s National Clean Investment Fund (NCIF) competition in 2024 and will begin to deploy those funds across its five coalition members in early 2025. To do so, PFC is in need of a VP of HR to lead the organization’s human capital strategy, policies and systems.

WHAT STAKEHOLDERS SAY

“This person needs to be familiar with a startup organization because hardly anything exists. The VP of HR needs to be able to come in and, from a standing start, be able to hire another 20-ish roles outside of the C-level, identify and implement the right people systems and start to define the culture.”
