Job Description Summary

This is an exciting opportunity for a highly organized, collaborative, and detail-oriented professional to join Enterprise Community Partners’ best-in-class public policy team. As a leading voice in affordable housing and community development policy, Enterprise advances bipartisan solutions that increase housing supply, expand access to affordable housing, strengthen communities, and create opportunities for low-income individuals and families nationwide.
Enterprise’s policy team works across a broad range of federal, state, and local priorities, including appropriations, tax policy, rental assistance, rural and tribal housing, climate, and community development. Through research, advocacy, and collaboration with policymakers, industry partners, and stakeholders, the team helps shape policies that advance Enterprise’s mission and strategic priorities.
The Project Manager, Policy, will play a key role in supporting the coordination, planning, and execution of the team’s work.

The ideal candidate will bring strong project management, organizational, and communication skills, along with experience working in public policy, government, nonprofit advocacy, consulting, or a similarly complex environment. This position requires a proactive professional who can work independently, manage competing priorities, anticipate challenges, and build effective working relationships across teams and senior leadership.
