The Enterprise Northern CA office is seeking a Senior Program Director to lead our statewide technical assistance (TA) practice designed to convene cross-sector partners with a goal of implementing plans for sustainable and healthy communities connected to opportunity. S/he leverages Enterprise’s tools, policy expertise, technical skills and organizational strategies to support the design, financing and implementation of capital projects that meaningfully integrate quality housing, public transportation and urban greening. In particular, a focus of the work will be to collaborate with public and private sector partners to achieve the environmental and community-benefit goals of California’s Cap and Trade programs via the Affordable Housing Sustainable Communities (AHSC) Program. Additionally, it is expected that complementary work will emerge to implement neighborhood-scale community plans. In coordination with staff, the Program Director will manage Enterprise’s delivery of technical assistance to affordable housing developers, community-based organizations and public agencies in California with an emphasis in Northern California.

The Senior Program Director must be a skilled leader, communicator and writer, who is action-oriented and able to quickly problem solve. Given Enterprise’s diverse client base and the nuances of Cap and Trade programs, the Senior Program Director we seek is highly organized, detail-oriented, tech-savvy and eager to utilize innovative methods to implement Enterprise’s AHSC practices. Much of the technical assistance is fee-based so the director will be in charge of making sure the program is generating fees and business planning. S/he will manage one to four direct reports and/or part-time consultants/interns, and lead Enterprise’s statewide AHSC team. The Senior Program Director will also collaborate with Enterprise’s staff from our national office on ongoing projects to replicate California’s best practices, and improve data systems and mapping tools.
