Do meaningful work

Help business owners who have not had access to real resources build sustainable ventures. Support them in accessing capital, developing strategies, and creating wealth in their communities.

Receive real professional development

We invest heavily in developing your skills from day one. Gain deep expertise in business strategy and financial analysis through structured training and ongoing professional development.

Shape what we do

As a cooperative, we make decisions together. Your voice matters in what programs we build, which partnerships we pursue, and how we approach our work.

Build ownership

Eligible team members become worker-owners with actual stake in the cooperative. Share in profits, participate in governance, and build equity in an organization creating economic change.

Benefits

Our benefits include:

  • Flexible, remote work schedules
  • Generous paid time off
  • Professional development support and training
  • Participation in democratic decision-making about programs, partnerships, and organizational direction
  • Network of values-aligned partners and community organizations
  • Opportunity for worker-ownership with profit-sharing through patronage

What we are looking for

We work with business owners who face real barriers to capital and support. The best team members understand these challenges from lived experience or deep community connection. Strong candidates bring:

  • Experience in business lending, advising, education, program design, or community development
  • Ability to communicate clearly and build relationships with diverse stakeholders
  • Comfort working independently in a remote environment
  • Genuine commitment to building economic power in communities that have been excluded from resources
  • Interest in cooperative models and shared decision-making
