ABOUT US:
We’re growing the digital services team that operates and iteratively improves the DAHLIA affordable housing service (housing.sfgov.org), as well as the Salesforce implementation used to manage larger affordable housing operations. Funded by the Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development (MOHCD), the team also works directly with the San Francisco Digital Services Team.
The mission of the Housing Division of the Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development is to provide financing for the development of affordable housing in San Francisco and guide the City’s housing policy. MOHCD ensures the the long-term affordability and physical viability of the City’s stock of affordable housing. The Office also provides financial and educational assistance to first-time homebuyers, and finances housing rehabilitation costs for low-income homeowners.
The San Francisco Digital Services Team is transforming how residents interact with the city, implementing our new Digital Services Strategy through building services designed around the people that use them. Led by the Chief Digital Services Officer, the team is comprised of product managers, designers, business analysts, developers, and content strategists. As a member of this new team, you would be part of a new and growing movement, with an opportunity to shape the City’s approach to design.

You will help lead user research, produce prototypes and designs, work closely with front-end developers, and ensure that analytics and feedback are used to improve the user experience iteratively. You’ll help improve the affordable housing application product, expand MOHCD’s digital services to meet additional needs of housing applicants, and collaborate closely with the program team to rethink non-digital service avenues in order to streamline the customer experience.
