Job Description

About the Program

Enterprise's Real Estate Analyst Training Program is a two-year, paid rotational program for early-career professionals who want to build a career in affordable housing finance and development. Analysts are trained by Enterprise's executive and industry leaders and work on projects and teams across our Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI), housing credit investments, asset management, real estate equity, and real estate development business lines.

Analysts begin with eight months of comprehensive training at the Enterprise Community Loan Fund, a U.S. Treasury-certified CDFI . They then complete two eight-month rotations within Enterprise's Capital Division. During the program, analysts also earn Grow America's Rental Housing Development Finance Professional Certification.

The program is designed to prepare analysts for full-time roles at Enterprise, such as Credit Analyst or Real Estate Analyst.

We're looking for people who are analytically strong, curious, and committed to expanding access to good, affordable homes. We especially encourage applicants whose personal, family, or community experience gives them insight into the communities we serve.
