Community Partnership Manager

Community Partnership Manager – Oregon Office

Full-Time | Monday–Friday | In-Office & Community-Based

At Deacon, we believe in building more than projects; we build connections, opportunities, and lasting partnerships within our communities. We’re looking for a Community Partnership Manager to help lead our diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts and strengthen relationships with Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprises (MWBE) across our Affordable Housing and Public Work projects.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives on making an impact, creating opportunities for underrepresented groups, expanding career pathways into construction, and supporting small and emerging businesses to grow alongside us.
