Summary
Habitat for Humanity International’s strategy calls for an expanded role in market approaches to solving the housing crisis. A central element of that strategy is improving access to affordable housing finance so that low-income households can build or improve adequate housing. This work engages the housing finance ecosystem — investors, policymakers, and financial service providers — to expand products and services that meet low-income families’ housing needs.
The MicroBuild Initiative is the successor to the MicroBuild Fund, which operated from 2012 to 2025. Habitat for Humanity is sponsor, investor, and a general partner in the Fund, and through the Terwilliger Center for Innovation in Shelter (TCIS) operates the Impact and Innovation Hub that will provide technical assistance that works directly with financial service providers to strengthen their ability to originate and manage housing finance, alongside other services to strengthen the Fund’s impact and catalyze broader market systems transformation.
Symbiotics, a Geneva-based impact investment firm specializing in financial inclusion, is the fund manager. The MicroBuild Initiative broadens the scope beyond microfinance to a wider range of financial products and institution types.
The Manager leads impact measurement and management (IMM) and Monitoring, Evaluation, Research, and Learning for the MicroBuild Initiative. The position will co-design and execute the impact measurement system for the MicroBuild Initiative and is responsible for establishing what the Initiative can credibly claim about outputs, outcomes and impacts, including at the household level. Where monitoring data cannot support an outcome claim, this role designs and commissions the external research that can.
Management of environmental, social, and governance risks is the responsibility of the fund manager; this role requires the working knowledge of European sustainable finance frameworks needed to interpret, scrutinize, and report on that work, but does not carry it out.
The position coordinates closely with the Managing Director of the Initiative’s Impact and Innovation hub, ensuring that indicator data aggregates consistently into TCIS MEARL platforms and that learning from the Initiative informs the portfolio and the wider housing finance market. This person will also need to coordinate and share information with fund manager’s impact team. This is an individual contributor role with responsibility for the Initiative’s impact research and evaluation budget.
