Are you passionate about making Denver a better place to live, work, and thrive? The Denver Urban Renewal Authority (DURA) is looking for a Community Investment Coordinator to support our efforts in revitalizing communities, preserving history, and creating opportunities for unique neighborhood investments.
At DURA, we provide financial assistance and grants to support critical redevelopment projects across the city—everything from historic preservation and brownfield cleanup to affordable housing and neighborhood revitalization. Our work directly impacts the lives of Denver residents, and we’re looking for someone who shares our dedication to community-driven progress.
As a Community Investment Coordinator, you’ll play a key role in supporting our Community Investment department. This cross-functional position involves a mix of program coordination, project analysis, and administrative support—helping to manage funding processes, track project progress, and ensure compliance with program policies. You won’t be managing employees, but you will be making a real difference by supporting the financial tools that make urban renewal possible.
If you have an eye for detail, a passion for community development, and experience working with grants, financial programs, or community-based programming, we’d love to hear from you!
