Wealth Builds is an innovative effort to eliminate the wealth gap through nine evidence-based pillars beginning in Harlem and ultimately expanding to up to 10 cities nationwide.

This role will sit on the Wealth Builds team, a high-priority strategic initiative at HCZ focused on creating pathways to social and economic mobility. The Career Specialist will possess strong knowledge of career development and the necessary skills to be successful in the job search and on the job. This candidate will know how to build strong relationships and will be the primary point of contact for participants working with the Career Services team.
