CEJJF is entering an exciting new phase, and we’re looking for a Managing Director, Investment to help us keep growing. This person will lead our lending and investment work, design innovative financial products, build our project pipeline, attract private capital, and help grow CEJJF’s investment capacity.
This is a senior leadership role for someone who understands that expanding access to capital sometimes means doing things differently. We’re looking for a leader who can build financing solutions for clean energy businesses, contractors, and communities that have historically faced barriers to traditional lending, while managing risk and building strong partnerships across Illinois.
CEJJF will deploy its first $1 million in direct lending this year, and this person will play a central role in shaping what comes next.
Candidates are encouraged to apply even if they do not meet every qualification. The right person may bring experience and strengths we haven’t anticipated. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, with priority consideration for applications received by October 19, 2026.
