New Jersey Community Capital is seeking to hire a Managing Director of Strategic Investments (CIO) to act as a true business partner to the President & CEO, the Board of Directors, and the senior management team. Reporting directly to the President & CEO, the CIO will: collaboratively lead an investment team dedicated to making private investments for New Jersey Community Capital’s Strategic Investment Group (SIG) and its integrated investment process (including establishing external partnerships to raise capital and drive deal flow); drive strategic planning and tactical implementation for SIG’s investment portfolio; partner closely with NJCC’s Lending and Finance teams on impact framework and research; work with specialist asset class teams across NJCC’s platform on investments relevant to SIG; represent the firm in public forums; and support the firm’s broader efforts across impact investing, suitability, and community development finance. 

New Jersey Community Capital’s Strategic Investment Group (NJCC SIG) sits within NJCC and includes the Capital Asset Preservation Corporation (NJCC’s real estate development arm), ReStart (NJCC’s mortgage investment platform), and University Ventures (NJCC’s State Small Business Investment Company). SIG will invest across private market asset classes, across the capital stack, and across sectors. In contrast to its wide investible universe, SIG has a focused and singular impact objective to improve economic outcomes for undercapitalized racial, ethnic, and gender communities in NJCC’s target markets (defined primarily as Black, Latinx, Native American, and Women). To achieve said impact, SIG will provide capital to businesses or projects owned and operated by minorities as well as to businesses driving change in underserved communities (e.g., creating quality jobs). SIG’s investment process integrates an opportunistic investment strategy with consistency and rigor as it relates to impact assessment, measurement, and underwriting.
