Job Description Summary

Enterprise Community Partners is seeking a strong leader to join our National Initiatives team to support the launch and implementation of a multi-year, cross-divisional Rental Assistance program. The Director will oversee and lead the planning phase and eventual execution of this national, cross-divisional body work. The successful candidate will be a highly motivated, enthusiastic, effective leader eager to support the Enterprise team and external partners.

The primary program that this role will oversee is our recently launched Rental Assistance program, which aims to increase lease-up success for those who have vouchers and increase access to rental assistance for those who qualify. We aim to do so through Housing Choice Voucher systems reforms and supports, and exploration of a new model of direct rental assistance. The Director will work closely with the Senior Directors of Upward Mobility, and the SVPs of Programs to broaden the scope of our work around rental assistance, to ensure alignment with existing Enterprise activity across our markets, and ultimately advance Enterprise's aim to shape a federal rental assistance program that increases housing choice and access.

At Enterprise, we create opportunity for low- and moderate-income people through affordable housing in diverse, thriving communities. For more than 30 years, Enterprise has introduced solutions through public-private partnerships with financial institutions, governments, community organizations and other partners that share our vision that one day, every person will have an affordable home in a vibrant community, filled with promise and the opportunity for a good life. Our National Initiatives provide tools, technical assistance and best practices that foster excellence in community development by addressing critical concerns and populations, including rural and tribal members, health and housing, climate and cultural resiliency, and increasing economic stability and mobility of low-income families.

The position is hybrid and can be located at any of our market offices and will report to a Senior Director of Housing Access and Opportunity. This position may also oversee multiple junior staff.
