Viva Benefits is seeking a Community Success Manager (CSM) to serve as a personal, in-person point of contact for 400+ families across two apartment communities in Olympia, WA and Salem, OR.

Viva is a network of affordable housing that offers families a set of benefits, including access to health, education, and financial resources. As one example, Viva offers families access to FREE cash - worth more than $5,000 - to help accelerate the transition to home ownership. We are creating equity for all through housing.
