Senior Vice President of Housing Authority and Public Initiatives

The NRP Group LLC•Tampa, FL

About The Position

The NRP Group is seeking a nationally recognized executive to lead strategic partnerships with Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) and other public-sector stakeholders. This newly created, relationship-driven and externally focused role will establish a national strategy for housing authority relationships, identify opportunities, and position NRP as a trusted partner in public housing transformation and affordable housing development. It is not a traditional development position. The executive will use industry credibility and a national network to build access with housing authority executives, boards, elected officials, and other decision makers, then partner with NRP’s internal development teams to evaluate and advance opportunities. This is a national position. The candidate may be based in any major metropolitan area with strong national relationships and does not need to live in an existing NRP market. Extensive national travel is expected. Success will be measured by the ability to build a national network of housing authority relationships, create a sustainable pipeline of strategic opportunities, expand NRP’s presence in new markets, and establish partnerships that enable NRP’s internal teams to execute transformative affordable housing developments.
