Job Description Summary

As the sixth-largest nonprofit developer-owner-operator in the United States and the largest provider of affordable homes in the Mid-Atlantic, Enterprise Community Development ("Community Development" or "ECD") aims to be an employer of choice that attracts people drawn to the organization's high-impact mission and the opportunity to create sustainable and transformative community development models. The division focuses on four primary areas : new development and preservation, asset management, property management, and resident services.

Enterprise Community Development and Enterprise Residential comprise the Community Development Division of Enterprise Community Partners ("Enterprise" or "ECP") - a national affordable housing nonprofit that, in addition to its Community Development division, invests capital in affordable rental homes through its Capital Division and manages programs, policy, and an advisory group through its Solutions Division. Collectively as "Enterprise," the breadth and depth of these end-to-end capabilities is unequaled in the affordable housing industry.

In recent years, ECD has developed a successful and growing clean energy development practice focused on a number of multifamily assets in its existing portfolio. This included solar generating systems totaling 1.1MW at 12 existing ECD properties in Washington, DC; 2.2MW at 4 additional properties in DC; and approximately 6.5MW at 25 properties in Maryland.
