As part of Stream's community engagement model, this position will establish consistent local ownership, stakeholder engagement, and scalable community relations practices within assigned markets.

While Development retains responsibility for land, entitlement, design, schedule, cost, and technical decisions – and Operations owns the ongoing operational aspect of the business, this role will lead day-to-day community engagement execution, allowing teams to remain focused on core activities while ensuring alignment with local priorities and stakeholder expectations.
