Top 5 Reasons to Work at Credit Builders Alliance

Do you want to be Credit Builders Alliance’s first Director of Operations? Here are 5 reasons to inspire you to apply:

1. Real solutions to real problems. Microfinance in the US!? 40% of American adults lack access to affordable bank credit. CBA leadership in the US microfinance industry means that every microloan serves both as immediate capital infusion and long-term strategy to build access to mainstream credit.

2. Action-oriented, entrepreneurial team. The team at CBA is incredibly driven, dynamic, and results-oriented. This is not a team that rests on its laurels or accepts the world as it is. They work tirelessly to develop strategies that lead to measurable change in US communities.

3. Professional development at your doorstop. DC offers a plethora of brown bags, conferences, workshops, documentaries, trainings and other events. CBA encourages employees to stay engaged, up-to-date and networked by making the most of what’s available in DC.

4. Work national. Impact local. Our offices are in DC, but our hearts are in communities. Every day, CBA staff are on the phone with local community activists sharing best practices and learning from their on-the-ground strategies.  What’s more, all CBA will attend the 2012 Power of Microbusiness and Assets Learning Conference, two national conferences that each bring together hundreds of local nonprofit and microfinance leaders.

5. National Experts on Board. CBA’s board is comprised of a veritable “who’s who” of the economic development field, including Jennifer Tescher, President and CEO of the Center for Financial Services Innovation, Livy Parsons, CFO of ACCION International, Jose Quinonez, Executive Director of Mission Asset Fund and other CDFI leaders.
