As business success manager, you will work alongside our team to empower small businesses across the region to raise the capital they need from their communities. Through an expert understanding of the challenges small businesses face every day, you’ll wear a lot of hats, working with businesses at every stage of their investment campaign. You’ll be working alongside a wide variety of small businesses with the knowledge that every business you help will be creating jobs and driving economic development in their community.

We’re looking for results-driven owners looking to help entrepreneurs build impactful local businesses.
Empathy and Execution. As a core team member of an early stage company, our success will intrinsically tied to your success. A strong understanding of the challenges small businesses face and how we can help is core to success in the role.
Performance, not Platitudes: We’re looking for a rockstar with exceptional, high-impact fundraising and/or marketing skills who feels comfortable teaching others.
Owner, not a Renter. Ownership isn’t just equity, it’s the understanding that no one is riding along in the back seat. Candidates must demonstrate a strong ability to take responsibility for both their successes and failures.
Think Fast, Execute Faster: You’ll be working in a fast-paced, high-growth environment. We don’t wait around until someone tells us what to do next, we find it and do it.

Amazing people/networking skills
