The posting

LISC is one of the country’s largest community development organizations, helping forge vibrant, resilient communities across America. LISC works with residents and partners to close gaps in health, wealth, and opportunity so that people and places can thrive. We do this by acting as a conduit for grants, loans and equity--and by providing technical assistance and capacity building--to locally rooted organizations that carry out the work in communities.

Position Overview

LISC Virginia is seeking a highly organized, detail-oriented, and mission-driven Assistant Program Officer to support community development initiatives, grantmaking activities, and stakeholder engagement across the region. The ideal candidate thrives in a dynamic environment, manages multiple priorities with confidence, and is committed to advancing equitable community development through strong operational and programmatic support.

Key Responsibilities

  • Manage LISC Virginia's network of Financial Opportunity Centers (FOCs) and related financial stability partners across the Commonwealth, providing strategic guidance, technical assistance, project management, training, networking opportunities, and ongoing capacity-building support.
  • Steward strategic relationships with workforce development, economic mobility, housing, and community development partners to advance LISC Virginia's financial opportunity and wealth-building strategies throughout Virginia.
  • Plan and implement workshops, peer learning opportunities, conferences, and technical assistance offerings for partners focused on financial stability, wealth building, homeownership, housing preservation, heirs' property, and asset development initiatives. Responsibilities include program design, speaker coordination, logistics management, and communications.
  • Support implementation of federal, state, and philanthropic grant-funded initiatives, including grants management, reimbursement processes, compliance monitoring, reporting requirements, and programmatic deliverables.
  • Partner with community-based organizations to strengthen program design, implementation, organizational capacity, and impact measurement related to financial stability, housing, and wealth-building efforts.
  • Manage the development, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of LISC Virginia's community development, housing, and economic opportunity programs, ensuring alignment with organizational goals and funder requirements.
  • Collaborate with LISC Virginia staff to cultivate and manage partnerships with government agencies, nonprofit organizations, financial institutions, corporate partners, and philanthropic funders.
  • Represent LISC Virginia in statewide and regional coalitions, initiatives, and stakeholder groups that advance community development, economic opportunity, housing, and equitable growth.
  • Identify opportunities, in collaboration with organizational leadership, to elevate LISC Virginia's thought leadership and best practices in financial opportunity, workforce development, housing, wealth building, and community development.
  • Collaborate with colleagues to develop grant proposals, secure funding resources, report program outcomes to funders, and maintain strong relationships with public and private funding partners.
  • Collect, analyze, and manage program data and develop accurate, timely, and accessible reports, grant applications, dashboards, and other materials that demonstrate program impact and outcomes.
  • Coordinate with LISC National's Housing, Economic Opportunity, Rural, and Income & Wealth Building teams to ensure program alignment, resource sharing, and implementation of national priorities and initiatives.
  • Support cross-functional organizational priorities and special projects as assigned by senior leadership.
  • Travel throughout Virginia and periodically outside the Commonwealth for partner engagement, training, peer learning, conferences, and national LISC activities.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Public Administration, Nonprofit Management, Urban Studies, or a related field; relevant experience may be considered in lieu of a degree.
  • 2–4 years of experience in community development, program coordination, or administrative support.
  • Strong organizational skills with the ability to effectively manage multiple priorities.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office and digital file management systems.
  • Ability to work collaboratively with diverse partners and stakeholders.
  • Commitment to LISC’s mission of advancing equitable community development.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
