Manager Sql Data Engineer Jobs in Calgary, AB (NOW HIRING)

Calgary Homeless Foundation (CHF)

Calgary Homeless Foundation guides the fight against homelessness. Fueled by this purpose, we envision the day when homelessness is rare, brief, and non-recurring — perhaps an episode in someone's life, but never a condition that defines it. Working in alignment with governments and collaboratively with service providers and community partners, we help translate complex system needs into coordinated, efficient ground-level action that maximizes the impact of every resource and creates lasting pathways out of homelessness. 

We are uniquely positioned to observe the many challenges facing our city and strengthen the entire sector through strategic leadership, forward-thinking capacity development, and hands-on, day-to-day support.  

Our comprehensive data warehouse reveals the full picture of homelessness in our community, enabling us to anticipate challenges and identify effective solutions. And we unite diverse stakeholders around shared goals and help address complex situations that no single agency can solve alone.  

Our collective approach and focus on learning and evaluation equip us to address homelessness across our city while keeping the people experiencing it at the heart of our work.  When the system works better together, more people find their way home.

We are looking for passionate, entrepreneurial, and talented people to join our action-oriented, high impact team.
