What is an SVP Governance Risk Compliance?

SVP Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) roles refer to senior executive positions responsible for overseeing an organization's governance structures, risk management frameworks, and compliance with laws and regulations. These leaders ensure that the company operates ethically, manages potential risks effectively, and adheres to all relevant legal and industry standards. The SVP GRC often sets policies, leads audit and compliance teams, and works closely with other executives to align risk strategies with business objectives. Their work helps protect the organization’s reputation and minimize financial or legal liabilities.

What skills and qualifications are needed to thrive as an SVP Governance Risk Compliance?

To thrive as an SVP of Governance, Risk, and Compliance, you need deep expertise in risk management, regulatory compliance, and corporate governance, often supported by advanced degrees or certifications like CRCM or CCEP. Familiarity with GRC software tools, audit management platforms, and regulatory reporting systems is typically required. Strong leadership, strategic thinking, and communication skills help drive organizational change and foster a culture of compliance. These abilities are crucial for ensuring the organization meets legal obligations, minimizes risk exposure, and maintains stakeholder trust.

Elm City Communities (ECC), the Housing Authority of the City of New Haven, is seeking an accomplished Senior Vice President of Finance, IT & Procurement to provide executive leadership across finance, accounting, information technology, procurement, compliance, audit, and long-range financial planning.
This is a highly visible executive opportunity for an experienced CFO, Senior Vice President of Finance, Vice President of Finance, Deputy CFO, Controller, or senior financial executive who has successfully led complex financial operations and is ready to use that expertise to support affordable housing and community development.
Reporting directly to the President, the SVP will serve as a key member of the executive leadership team and a strategic advisor on financial performance, organizational sustainability, technology, risk, compliance, procurement, and investment.
The Opportunity
The Senior Vice President of Finance, IT & Procurement will lead the financial infrastructure supporting Elm City Communities' affordable housing portfolio, operations, development activity, and long-term strategic priorities.
The SVP will oversee enterprise finance and accounting, budgeting, forecasting, audit and internal controls, procurement, information technology, financial systems, regulatory compliance, and capital planning.
This executive will also partner closely with organizational leadership on affordable housing development, property and asset management, LIHTC and mixed-finance transactions, HUD requirements, capital investments, and enterprise modernization.
The successful candidate will combine the technical depth of an accomplished finance executive with the leadership skills necessary to develop teams, modernize systems, communicate complex financial information, and help guide enterprise-level decision-making.
Key Responsibilities:
Executive Financial Leadership
  • Provide strategic leadership for all finance, accounting, budgeting, forecasting, treasury, financial reporting, and fiscal operations.
  • Advise the President and executive leadership on financial strategy, organizational performance, risk, investment, and long-term sustainability.
  • Lead annual operating, capital, development, and property management budgeting processes.
  • Develop financial forecasts and analyses that support executive decision-making and strategic planning.
  • Establish and maintain strong financial controls, policies, procedures, and accountability systems.
  • Present financial performance, risks, forecasts, and recommendations to executive leadership, boards, regulators, auditors, and external stakeholders.

Accounting, Audit, Risk & Compliance
  • Oversee financial reporting, general accounting, internal controls, audit preparation, and regulatory compliance.
  • Ensure financial operations meet applicable HUD, federal, state, local, and organizational requirements.
  • Serve as a primary liaison to independent auditors and other financial and regulatory partners.
  • Strengthen organizational processes related to audit readiness, risk management, financial controls, and compliance.
  • Ensure timely and accurate preparation of financial statements, budgets, management reports, and regulatory filings.

Affordable Housing & Real Estate Finance
  • Provide financial leadership supporting affordable housing development, property management, asset management, and capital improvement initiatives.
  • Partner with development and executive leadership on LIHTC, mixed-finance transactions, bond financing, capital structures, and development-related financial analysis.
  • Support financial planning associated with HUD programs, MTW initiatives, and other public and private funding sources.
  • Evaluate financial implications of development opportunities, investments, partnerships, and portfolio strategies.

Information Technology & Financial Systems
  • Provide executive oversight of the organization's information technology strategy, financial systems, enterprise platforms, data infrastructure, and cybersecurity priorities.
  • Lead or support modernization of ERP, accounting, financial reporting, and property management systems.
  • Strengthen the organization's use of technology and data to improve efficiency, reporting, controls, and decision-making.
  • Experience with Yardi or comparable property management/financial systems is highly valued.

Procurement & Enterprise Operations
  • Provide executive oversight of procurement strategy, policies, systems, contracts, and compliance.
  • Ensure procurement practices support transparency, competitiveness, fiscal responsibility, and regulatory requirements.
  • Partner across departments to improve processes and strengthen operational effectiveness.

People & Organizational Leadership
  • Lead, develop, and mentor finance, IT, procurement, and related functional leaders.
  • Build a culture of accountability, collaboration, service, and continuous improvement.
  • Translate organizational strategy into clear priorities, processes, performance expectations, and measurable results.
  • Work effectively across finance, operations, development, asset management, property management, HR, and executive leadership.

What You Bring
We are seeking a sophisticated finance leader who can operate successfully within a complex, highly regulated, multi-stakeholder organization.
Required Qualifications
  • Master's degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, Public Administration, or a related discipline.
  • At least eight years of progressively responsible financial leadership experience.
  • Significant responsibility for complex organizational budgets, financial reporting, audits, controls, forecasting, and financial strategy.
  • Experience leading and developing professional teams.
  • Demonstrated ability to communicate complex financial information to executives, boards, operational leaders, and other stakeholders.
  • Experience working within a complex regulatory, compliance, or government-funded environment.
  • Strong strategic, analytical, organizational, and operational leadership capabilities.

Highly Preferred Experience
  • Certified Public Accountant (CPA).
  • Affordable housing or multifamily real estate finance.
  • Public Housing Authority or Housing Authority Instrumentality experience.
  • HUD programs and regulations.
  • Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC).

  • Property management and asset management finance.
  • Yardi or comparable ERP/property management systems.
  • Government-funded programs and regulatory compliance.
  • Financial systems implementation or modernization.
  • Enterprise IT and procurement oversight.

Your Background May Come From More Than Housing
While direct affordable housing, public housing, HUD, LIHTC, or real estate finance experience is highly valued, Elm City Communities is also interested in accomplished financial leaders from other complex and regulated organizations whose experience is transferable.
Relevant backgrounds may include:
Affordable Housing | Multifamily Real Estate | Public Housing Authorities | Community Development | Government | Municipal Finance | Nonprofit Organizations | Healthcare | Higher Education | Financial Services | Public Accounting | Real Estate Development
Candidates should bring the financial sophistication, executive presence, operational discipline, and ability to learn the nuances of affordable housing necessary to succeed in this environment.
Who Should Consider This Opportunity?

We encourage qualified leaders currently serving as:
Chief Financial Officer (CFO) | Deputy CFO | Senior Vice President of Finance | Vice President of Finance | VP Finance & Administration | Chief Accounting Officer | Corporate Controller | Finance Director | Managing Director of Finance | Real Estate Finance Executive | Affordable Housing Finance Executive
This may be particularly compelling for an accomplished finance leader who wants broader enterprise responsibility spanning finance, technology, procurement, strategy, and organizational transformation.
Why Elm City Communities?
This role offers the opportunity to bring financial leadership to work that has a direct impact on housing stability, neighborhood investment, economic opportunity, and the future of New Haven communities.
The Senior Vice President will have the ability to influence how Elm City Communities:
  • Invests resources and manages financial performance.
  • Finances and supports affordable housing development.
  • Modernizes technology and enterprise systems.
  • Strengthens controls and operational infrastructure.
  • Develops future finance and operational leaders.
