Affordable Housing Compliance Expert - Relocation Provided

You know the problem. Recerts pile up, the MOR is next month, and the person who actually understands the layered LIHTC/HUD file just gave notice. Every compliance team in the country is short the same person.

Percy is recruiting that person for a different kind of seat: the in-house compliance expert on a product team building affordable housing certification software from the ground up. The company is an AI platform already used by most of the largest apartment operators in the country. The affordable product is new, and you would be one of the people deciding how it reads the rules.

This is not a compliance seat at an operator. It is the job of telling the software what the regulations mean, and catching it when it gets them wrong.

What you'd do

• Translate LIHTC, HUD (PBRA, HCV, PBV, 202/811) and USDA RD requirements into guidance engineers can build from — no coding, just clarity


• Review system-generated tenant income certifications and eligibility determinations line by line, flag the errors, and turn them into fixes


• Sit with compliance teams at large affordable operators to surface edge cases and shape what gets built next


• Grow into leading the human-in-the-loop review function as the product scales

Who this fits

• You have personally calculated household income and built or reviewed certification files, TICs, annual recerts, interims, MOR prep, HCV or PBRA intake. That matters more here than any title


• Your title may say Property Manager, Occupancy Manager, Community Manager, Compliance Specialist, or Housing Specialist. If you've been the one person carrying a multi-program portfolio because nobody else could, we want to talk


• LIHTC depth is the floor. HUD program breadth is a strong plus; USDA RD a bonus


• Roughly 4+ years in affordable compliance, flexible in both directions for the right background


• COS, TCS, HCCP, SHCM, MORS or CPO preferred. Don't have one? They'll pay for it


• Bachelor's degree required


• You can talk to a senior executive in the morning and debug a certification in the afternoon


• Open to relocating to the New York City area (with assistance provided)

What you'd get

• $125,000–$200,000 base, up to $200K at the top of the band


• Equity in every offer


• Brand-new Midtown Manhattan office with all meals covered


• Relocation bonus provided to the right candidate


• Full benefits, 401(k), PTO, monthly fitness stipend, quarterly life-services stipend


• Light travel, about once a month or less


• A team that moves fast and interviews fast
