The National Community Investment Fund (NCIF) is a dedicated impact investor and a national nonprofit Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) established to enhance access to responsible financial products and services in underserved areas. With a focus on generating positive impact across economic opportunity, racial equity, and environmental sustainability, NCIF manages total assets of approximately $228 million, including a balance sheet of $62 million and $166 million in New Markets Tax Credits (NMTC) allocations.

NCIF pursues its mission through several interconnected business lines:

  1. Equity Investments: Engaging with mission-driven financial institutions such as CDFI banks and minority banks, NCIF invests through equity, debt, and deposits. As the largest investor in CDFI banks, NCIF has investments in 17 institutions, representing over 10% of the sector. The organization selectively invests in financial and green technology companies that align with its mission.

  3. Lending Initiatives: NCIF is committed to building a loan portfolio that supports businesses, housing, education, healthcare, and other mission-aligned sectors. The organization is launching a platform to originate and syndicate loans among its network of banks and has initiated lending for greenhouse gas reduction projects that align with EPA goals.
  4. Impact Measurement: This critical aspect of NCIF's operations underpins all business lines. NCIF has pioneered the use of Social Performance Metrics and is developing a Generative AI-based Data Analytics Platform to attract additional capital to the sector.

As NCIF embarks on its next growth phase, it seeks a distinguished executive to join its fund management team. The Vice President of Lending and NMTC will play a pivotal role in driving growth and enhancing impact while furthering the organization's lending and investment initiatives. Key responsibilities include:

  2. Deploy NCIF's NMTC allocations in real estate and business operating loans.
  3. Prepare credit memoranda, manage assets from inception to exit, and ensure thorough underwriting processes.
  4. Collaborate with NCIF team members to raise private capital and prepare grant applications for various funding programs.
  5. Contribute to the strategic development of NCIF's business, focusing on growth and impact measurement, including new lending and investment programs.
  6. Represent NCIF in external engagements with potential and existing partners.
  7. Mentor junior team members in technical credit skills and partnership development.
  8. Enhance NCIF's systems, processes, credit standards, and impact measurement efforts to positively influence low-income communities.

  1. A passion for enhancing community welfare and economic growth.
  2. Over 10 years of experience in lending, credit risk management, or capital markets, preferably within a bank or nonbank CDFI.
  3. Familiarity with NMTC deployment, Low Income Housing Tax Credits, and structuring loans through government programs.
  4. Extensive experience in business development and relationship management.
  5. Strong skills in credit analysis, structuring, underwriting, and portfolio management.
  6. Experience in commercial real estate and lending, including loan participations and co-lending.
  7. A self-starter with the ability to build strong relationships and collaborate effectively.
  8. Creative thinking and flexibility to enhance the impact of NCIF and its partners.
  9. A growth-oriented mindset and enthusiasm for business development.
  10. Ability to represent NCIF externally in various forums.
