Full-Time Associate, Community Engagement

Village Capital – Posted by kcalixte Washington, District of Columbia, United States

Job Description

Village Capital is seeking a Community Engagement Associate to join our growing
team.

Village Capital believes deeply that communities build entrepreneurs. We are looking
for an Associate to oversee and support the development of Village Capital’s heart and
soul—our global community. This person will report directly to senior management.

The Community Engagement Associate will be responsible for three things:

1. Community Support: The Associate will manage Village Capital’s relationships
with all our current partners, serving as their primary point of contact, responding
to all requests, and ensuring that Village Capital meets partnership milestones
and objectives;
2. Community Engagement: The Associate will produce high-quality reports for
partners detailing the impact and accomplishments of the programs they support,
and serve as the interface between Partners and to ensure that the Village Capital
program team is listening to and meeting partner needs.
3. Integrity: Working with all members of the Village Capital team, ensure that
Village Capital over-delivers on our promise to partners and ensures clarity and
consistency in our messaging and reporting.

Position responsibilities:

• You have an outstanding ability to translate complexity into concise, intuitive
communication
• You like to listen, and are very good at it.
• You are able to meet multiple objectives in a complex environment. A 20-task to
do list excites you.
• You are willing and able to travel 30+% of the time
• You have a passion for entrepreneurship and the business of community-building.
In a multi-stakeholder system (entrepreneur, foundation, investor)—your
preferred stakeholder is the entrepreneur.
• You are able to pay attention to detail and manage a complex, multi-variable
system.
• You have experience or strong desire to work in international environments.
• You like turning chaos into order. Organizing a high volume of information under
tight deadlines seems like a fun challenge.
• You give before you get. You like making introductions, doing favors without
asking, and looking for ways to help people.
• You bring a strong attention to detail to all of your work.
• You want room for growth in your career. As Village Capital grows as an
organization, so will the scope, responsibilities, and seniority of this role. This
excites you.
