Director of Real Estate Development | Affordable Housing
Richmond, CA (Hybrid) | $175K-$205K
Are you an affordable housing development leader who can take projects from concept to completion?
We're partnering with a mission-driven nonprofit developer seeking a Director of Real Estate Development to lead a growing portfolio of affordable housing projects throughout Northern California.
This is not a traditional real estate development role.
We're looking for someone who has deep experience in affordable housing finance, tax credits, public funding applications, community engagement, and leading development teams. You'll oversee a pipeline of approximately 20 projects while managing a team of project managers and development professionals.
What We're Looking For:
Affordable housing development experience (required)
LIHTC / Tax Credit expertise
Funding applications, grants, loans, and public financing
Experience leading projects from acquisition through construction and closeout
Strong leadership and people management skills
Ability to navigate community meetings, public presentations, and stakeholder engagement
Why This Opportunity?
Highly visible leadership role
Hybrid work environment
Mission-driven organization making a direct impact on underserved communities
Opportunity to shape the future growth of a respected affordable housing developer
Competitive compensation: $175K-$205K
This is not a fit for commercial real estate, market-rate development, property management, or real estate sales professionals.
If you've spent your career building affordable housing communities and are ready to lead at a strategic level, I'd love to connect.
Benefits: Make a meaningful community impact while enjoying a strong benefits package including Kaiser medical, 403(b), paid time off, and holidays.
