• Develop business plans and guide loan packaging

• Analyze financials and help clients make smart decisions

• Advise on marketing, operations, and scaling

• Support succession planning and long-term sustainability

• Lead trainings, build partnerships, and expand our reach

We’re looking for someone who:

• Has real-world experience as a business owner or operator

• Is confident working with financial statements and projections

• Can quickly build trust with entrepreneurs

• Communicates clearly and knows how to ask the right questions

• Gets energy from helping others succeed

Why this role stands out:

You’ll work with hundreds of businesses and play a direct role in shaping the region’s economy—alongside

an award-winning team.
