The CDFA is the trade association for CDFIs – non-profit financial institutions that lend to small businesses and social enterprises, individuals, and civil society organisations. In the wake of uncertain economic forecasts, CDFA is in a unique space to capitalise on the wave of public and policy interest around social investment, and in particular the type of community finance offered by our CDFI members.

Having successfully gained substantial funding for the sector, we are poised to build a new offer to those sizable communities around the UK that we know are the foundation for local economic development, social equality and new opportunity, but continue to be denied access to even the basic financial services.

You will join our existing part time Membership Manager and complete this role by ideally working Wed-Fri (although there will be flexibility for the right candidate). As co-Membership Manager, you will implement the CDFA’s new membership strategy to support and deliver its CM2 programme (a sector specification performance management framework), for which you will be expected to travel, as required, within the UK. A sound knowledge of lending and financial systems is desirable, in order to provide a financial advisor complement to the overall business management analysis of CM2.

In addition, working with the Head of Business Development, you and your job share colleague will represent the CDFA on key regional groups to further the CDFI movement and to manage partnerships arising from these. Strong positive people skills, analytical strengths, and taking on an advocacy/champion role are expected, along with a creative flair to resource and develop membership and their needs. Knowledge of the Community Finance sector is desirable, particularly direct CDFI experience, but not essential.

£19,200 (part time 22.5 out of a 37.5 hour week, £32,000 fte)Job share preferably Wed-Fri but negotiable for the right candidate
