Job Description

Who We Are:

Colorado Enterprise Fund (CEF) is a nonprofit business lending organization dedicated to the success of small businesses in Colorado. We target our financing resources to underserved communities – primarily Black, Latino, women, and veteran-owned businesses, especially those located in low to moderate-income areas. We’re committed to creating a meaningful impact in Colorado’s communities by providing equitable and affordable business financing for entrepreneurs who cannot access bank loans and other financial resources.

At CEF we see our community impact through job creation, wealth building for disadvantaged populations, and the growth and success of the businesses we fund. As a Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI), we offer loans, grants, and free business coaching to entrepreneurs to help them succeed.

Who We Are Looking For:

We are looking for a full-time bilingual Spanish-speaking employee in our Business Navigation Services group. This employee is responsible for providing effective business coaching (also called “technical assistance”) both pre and post-loan to CEF clients, as part of our Business Navigators (BN) team.

The BN team provides coaching, tools, and resources to entrepreneurs to help them position their businesses for success. This coaching may include assisting clients in the Denver Metro area face to face with setting up financial documents such as cashflow or profit and loss statements, building their workforce, reviewing operations for increased profitability, and devising marketing strategies for a variety of business sectors. Business Navigators are provided with tools and templates to use with clients and are also encouraged to bring their unique set of skills and resources in support of the community!

What We Offer:

• Best People– One of our goals is to bring together high-integrity people from their respective areas of expertise and assemble them as a team to drive success across the board. That starts with a robust hiring process and supporting the culture required to ensure that success.
• Dynamic Working Environment – It’s not quiet here. You won’t notice the hours flying by. We believe in our mission to accelerate community prosperity. We do that by being active, not passive.
• Established Brand and Solid Track Record – We’ve been around, so you’ll have a team behind you delivering the financing solutions that you work with, that has repeatedly and successfully “been there and done that”.
• Personal Growth– Regardless of your experience level or your seniority walking in the door, we are committed to the growth of our people. Great leadership, support, and education for you in your role, with the ability to personally grow your influence, your position, and your compensation.
• Right-Sized Company– We are a large enough organization to have sufficient resources to make a difference, but small enough to be nimble.
• Make an Impact in your community – You are a key factor in helping Colorado small business owners realize their dreams. It’s an awesome feeling to talk with others about having made an impact on businesses in your local area, and to be able to say, “I was a part of that”.
• Benefits, Vacation, Etc.– As an established CDFI, we offer the following:
• Health, vision, dental, and life insurance, as well as short-term disability coverage. CEF also offers a 403b retirement plan with employer matching up to 3% of an employee’s contribution. CEF also offers a Flexible Spending Account for childcare and health care. Our paid time off policies include ten (10) paid holidays per year, paid vacation, and paid health and wellness time.
