Job Description:
Hiring: Sustainable Enterprise Manager (PUSH Blue) -About the
Sustainable Enterprise Manager (PUSH Blue) PositionPeople United
for Sustainable Housing (PUSH Buffalo) seeks a Sustainable
Enterprise Manager that is responsible for PUSH Buffalo's green
infrastructure, stormwater management and sustainable landscaping
program/social justice enterprise business, known as PUSH Blue.
-About PUSH BuffaloPUSH Buffalo is a community-based non-profit
located on Buffalo's West Side. The organization was founded in
2005 as a membership organization that would combine community
development and community organizing activities to address
displacement and improve Buffalo's West Side. Our mission today is
to mobilize residents to create strong neighborhoods with quality
affordable housing; to expand local hiring opportunities; and to
advance social, economic and environmental justice in Buffalo.At
PUSH we know that our current systems are not designed for the
sustainable, regenerative future we need in our neighborhoods,
cities, regions, states, and country. By design, they put people
over corporate profit, and fail to address the disproportionate
marginalization of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC),
and poor and working-class communities. At PUSH, we build community
power for a Just Transition by organizing people and money to
secure housing, climate, and environmental justice campaign
victories that lead to transformative, structural change. At the
same time, we work to develop and implement community-based
solutions on the ground in our neighborhood.About the StrategyIn
2013, PUSH launched PUSH Blue to create a variety of storm water
retention interventions throughout PUSH's twenty-five block Green
Development Zone. Capital investments in stormwater infrastructure
provide a unique opportunity for green job creation at a
neighborhood scale. Significant investments have been made by many
lakefront cities, like Buffalo, to meet the labor demand of the
rising green economy. PUSH aims to capture some of that job growth
and wealth creation for low-income residents by providing extensive
training and experience in landscaping and stormwater management
techniques, a growing and necessary part of the green economy.Such
efforts are part of PUSH's overall community jobs pipeline strategy
of engaging low-income communities of color and disconnected
workers in the struggle to create an equitable community-controlled
green economy. PUSH has had significant success in training and
employing workers in both the stormwater and energy retrofit
sector. Such work builds the region's capacity to continue building
and maintaining this infrastructure. Additionally, the strategy
combines conventional workforce development activities -
recruitment, referral, job development, and job placement - with
opportunities for community building and leadership
development.About the PositionCritical to that success is the PUSH
Blue Sustainable Enterprise Manager (EM) who will oversee the
development of PUSH Blue's expanding green infrastructure,
stormwater management, and sustainable landscaping social justice
enterprise business. The EM will be responsible for managing all
related projects including existing stormwater management projects,
creation of educational material surrounding best practices,
supervision of internal and external landscaping/GI projects, and
development of new lines of business.The EM also facilitates
resource development opportunities, including the identification
of, and submittal of applications to, potential funders and
partners. The EM also ensures that the programs and projects are
compliant with the terms of PUSH Buffalo's contractual agreements
with federal, state, city and other funding sources.This is a

- $60,000 annually depending on experience. The position is located
