Careers
First, last, and always is our belief in the community.
Nearly 40 years ago, the community rose up in response to the harm caused by the 15 freeway, and it was out of this activism, resilience, and belief in better that we were born.
As a team, we’re looking for people who will work hard, come ready to listen first, and who love this community.
We are dedicated to ensuring an inclusive and accessible application process for all candidates. If you experience any barriers while applying, please contact our Economic Development Department at economicdevelopment@cityheightscdc.org or 619-584-1535. We are here to assist you and ensure a smooth application experience.
Here are the positions we have available:
