We provide affordable mortgages and home repairs to communities across DuPage County and Chicago South Suburbs. We rely on many databases to project manage, cultivate donors, coordinate volunteers, and more. The Database Consultant will examine our use of technology and consolidate databases and platforms to create better workflows and cross-functionality to improve our efficiency to serve more families. Our ideal candidate has a deep understanding of processes and workflow, as well as analytical and technological skills. They will also be personable and able to translate complex processes into more accessible language. This position offers the supplemental benefit of $1/month rental housing in the Chicago South Suburbs. More information will be provided during the interview process.
Member Duties : Nearly half of renters and one-third of homeowners in DuPage and Cook Counties are cost-burdened. DHFH-CSS offers affordable mortgages and home repairs that help reduce housing costs, but our organizational needs have evolved faster than our technological systems. The Database Consultant will consolidate our 11 separate databases into a more interdepartmental use of computer programs to create more efficient workflow, communications, and cross training. The VISTA will meet with each department to understand their technological needs and analyze all of the databases/programs used to determine any cross functionality. They will consolidate platforms and develop cohesive workflow processes for the entire DHFH-CSS affiliate. By the end of their service, the VISTA will write training documents and train staff on new workflows and systems.
