Communications Manager

Affordable housing is a complex space. Telling the story of why it matters—and earning the trust of the people who can help move it forward—requires clarity, discipline, and good judgment.

Lhoopa is looking for a Communications Manager who can turn strategy into clear, consistent execution. You’ll help shape how our story is communicated to the media, government stakeholders, investors, industry partners, and the broader housing sector.

This role is for someone who thinks strategically, writes exceptionally well, and knows how to move from an idea to a polished publication, campaign, event, or announcement.
