indieDwell 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 CEO of indieDwell, 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 mission-driven and transformational CEO to lead the company into its next chapter. Critical path objectives include: 

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

• A passion for solving the affordable housing crisis via volumetric modular construction.
• Deep experience in multi-family residential development (ideally in California and with affordable, workforce, and/or student housing projects).
• Hands-on leadership or executive experience in commercial-scale manufacturing, with direct exposure to volumetric modular construction, prefabricated housing, and/or panelized construction.
• Strong acumen in partnerships management, sales & business development, and contract negotiations.
• The ability to create a culture of trust, empowerment, accountability and collaboration across all stakeholders (employees, strategic partners, customers).
• Developed and executed a strategic turnaround plan to rapidly improve business performance and drive short and long-term results.

Our ideal candidate is willing to relocate – or travel frequently to – Boise, Idaho.

Compensation for this role will depend on candidate background, seniority, and overall experience, but will include some combination of base salary, performance bonus, and equity participation.
