President, Solutions Division

Enterprise Community Partners (Enterprise) seeks a transformational, inspiring, and strategic leader to serve as the next President of the Solutions Division. This is a remarkable opportunity to join an organization that is dedicated to supporting community development organizations on the ground and works to aggregate and invest billions to improve housing and strengthen communities across the U.S. Since 1982, Enterprise Community Partners has invested $80.9 billion and created one million homes across all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands to make home and community places of pride, power, and belonging, as well as platforms for resilience and upward mobility.

Reporting to Shaun Donovan, the CEO of Enterprise Community Partners, the President of the Solutions Division will oversee the operation of a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, managing competing objectives and requirements across departments, other departments within Enterprise, and with external clients (including contractors, vendors, financial institutions). The President will bring the full strength of Enterprise's programmatic, policy, and advisory services nationwide to fulfill Enterprise's mission of addressing poverty and the lack of access to opportunity and countering the impacts of embedded discrimination. The President will be responsible for aligning the teams across the Division and collaborating with leaders organization-wide, leveraging Enterprise’s other two Divisions (Capital and Community Development) to maximize external impact. The operating budget of the Solutions Division is roughly $55 million with another $600 million under management, in addition to multimillion acquisition funds in Los Angeles and New York.

The ideal candidate for this opportunity will be a pragmatic, transformational leader with creative, analytical, and financial acumen who will bring a depth of knowledge and experience in the areas of economic development, poverty, community development, affordable housing, racial equity, economic mobility, and/or nonprofit management. They will also have a strategic, decision-enabling mindset and demonstrated fundraising experience that will allow them to effectively lead the Solutions Division and serve as an effective collaborator with internal and external stakeholders. A key element of this role will be providing guidance and advice to Enterprise's management team.  It will also be essential for this individual to have demonstrated knowledge of and experience working in public policy across multiple levels of government with the successful candidate having exposure on the national level of government and policy.
