See Yourself as an AVP, Housing Initiatives

Radian is embarking on a new strategic effort to deepen our long-term commitment to housing equity and community investment. We're seeking an experienced, purpose-driven leader to shape and launch new initiatives that will expand access to safe, stable housing through place-based partnerships, revitalization efforts, and community-focused programs.

Radian has a long-standing commitment to making homeownership more accessible and equitable. In 2024 alone, we contributed more than $1.2 million to over 200 organizations, including a $100,000 grant to Rebuilding Together Philadelphia to support home revitalization and prevent displacement. Through our partnership with Nueva Esperanza, we helped secure $1.35 million in financing from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh to expand affordable housing opportunities. We also raised over $475,000 through our Opens Doors Opens Hearts fundraiser to benefit families in need of housing support.

This is a rare opportunity to build something from the ground up-with the full backing of an enterprise committed to doing good. You will be responsible for designing strategy, building partnerships, and leading high-impact programs that improve access to safe, stable homes and vibrant communities. The scope is national, with an initial focus on key geographies like southeastern Pennsylvania. If you're energized by the idea of leaving a legacy through systems-level change, come help us build what's next.
