- You will bolster outreach to program participants and borrowers through various communication channels and create new ways to interact with the growing ProsperUs network;
- You will foster additional opportunities for connection and communication for ProsperUs program participants and borrowers to the regional entrepreneurial service network of providers and organizations; and
- Through your efforts, more under resourced businesses will obtain the capital required to sustain and grow their businesses.
- Outreach and Strategic Growth

- You will be a thought partner and share enthusiasm for deepening the sustainability of technical assistance and comprehensive coaching at ProsperUs; and
- In collaboration with the Lending Team, you will identify and support opportunities to grow ProsperUs Business Services in alignment with the strategic direction of the organization.
- Some other activities you will do to support ProsperUs:

- You are interested in working with technology systems and you can learn and use new software and tools as required. Experience with Salesforce is a plus, and training will be provided.
- You have a personal and professional commitment to intersectional equity, including the dismantling of racism and other forms of oppression that exist in the communities ProsperUs serves, specifically Black, Latinx, Arab, immigrant, and low- to moderate-income communities.
- You have a proven history of transparent and high-integrity servant leadership.
- You can manage timelines and understand how to communicate your needs to others including team members, partners, and other stakeholders.
