ABOUT THE ROLE

The Bay Area Housing Finance Authority (BAHFA) is entering a new phase guided by its recently completed strategic plan, which establishes near-term programmatic priorities while also outlining a path toward long-term operational sustainability. The Loan Manager provides expertise and oversight of BAHFA's many affordable housing finance programs, including underwriting, evaluation and implementation of these programs, developing work methods, internal controls, policies, and procedures related to financing programs. In addition, the Loan Manager will provide technical assistance to the public and applicants. The Loan Manager is responsible for providing a high level of subject matter expertise for large, complex, and multi-disciplinary affordable housing projects, programs, strategies, and initiatives to ensure that the Authority's core programs are delivered effectively, resources are used strategically, and the organization remains stable and adaptive in a dynamic and constantly evolving housing ecosystem. BAHFA's near-term priorities are designed to build towards the Authority's long-term vision to bring about transformative, systems-level change to ensure housing affordability and security for all throughout the nine-county Bay Area. An ideal candidate will have extensive knowledge in affordable housing practices and varied funding programs, strong real estate acumen, and deep analytical understanding of proformas and financial instruments.

In addition to managing BAHFA's various financing programs, the Loan Manager will supervisor and mentor at least one team member. Starting early next year, the Loan Manager, in coordination with staff, will launch a new Regional Mixed Finance funding program, and will be required to facilitate the program from applications through closings and asset management processes for repayment. The ideal candidate will also represent BAHFA in external settings and champion BAHFA's statutory mission to advance the "3 P's" (producing new affordable housing, preserving existing housing, and protecting residents from displacement). The Loan Manager will build strong, trust-based relationships that keep the agency informed, responsive and well positioned to take advantage of emerging opportunities. This position is ideal for an experienced and pragmatic affordable housing loan coordinator, underwriter or project manager who understands how the Bay Area housing ecosystem works in practice while also thinking creatively about new approaches and value-add regional opportunities. The ideal candidate will balance thinking strategically while acting decisively, and will thrive in a hands on, independent, entrepreneurial environment within a larger public agency.
