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.
