Board Member, indieDwell Collective

indieDwell Collective is on a mission to solve America’s affordable housing crisis and empower underserved communities. We deliver innovative steel-framed, energy-efficient modular solutions for affordable housing developers, including multifamily, single family and emergency housing. indieDwell Collective is B-Corp Certified and headquartered in Boise, Idaho with manufacturing joint-ventures in Southern California and Northern California.

Our journey began in 2016 with a vision to bring healthy, durable, energy-efficient and sustainable housing to those who need it most. After being acquired by Palm Venture Studios in October 2023, we are well-positioned to realize this vision by launching two new factories, expanding our modular design libraries and developing new value-add products and services.

As a Board Member at indieDwell Collective, you'll be joining a forward-thinking team that’s reshaping the affordable housing landscape. Our projects have a long-lasting impact on communities, providing homes to people in need. We have a successful track record delivering projects with developers, contractors and communities, and we're constantly innovating on what's possible in volumetric modular construction.

The company is three months into navigating a “turnaround phase” and is seeking a Board Member to advise the leadership team into its next chapter. The critical path objectives include: 

1. Securing a first new (and substantial) development contract since coming under new ownership
2. Delivering the first new development project on-time and on-budget
3. Building out a pipeline of executed contracts and throughput of active work
4. Activating two California-based modular manufacturing facilities with our strategic partners

Requirements

You are a great fit for this position if you have…

• A passion for solving the affordable housing crisis via volumetric modular construction
• The ability to be a trusted advisor to the company leadership, its investors and partners
• A proven track record managing strategic partners and to ethical governance
• Led strategic turnarounds to rapidly improve business performance and drive short and long-term results
• An extensive network (or direct experience) in multi-family residential development (ideally in California and with affordable, workforce or student housing projects)
• Hands-on experience in commercial-scale manufacturing and assembly, with exposure to volumetric modular construction, prefabricated housing and/or panelized construction as a plus

Benefits

This board position is compensated.
