    Descripción

    Inclusiv is the largest network of community development financial institutions (CDFIs) with a mission to promote financial inclusion in low-income communities across the country. Through our network of more than 500 community-based lenders, Inclusiv reaches more than 20 million consumers with limited incomes and residing in historically redlined communities.

    The Inclusiv Center for Resiliency and Clean Energy was created in 2019, in partnership with the Center for Impact Finance at the Carsey School of Public Policy at the University of New Hampshire. The climate finance training program was launched with generous grant support from the U.S. Department of Energy. The Center provides training and technical assistance in climate finance to Community Development Financial Institutions, Minority Depository Institutions, Low-Income Designated Credit Unions, green banks, and other mission-driven and community-based lenders. In just four years, the Center has trained and guided over 700 lending professionals to develop accessible and affordable financing solutions for clean energy, energy efficiency, electrification, resiliency, and other green improvements.

    The training program has grown rapidly, and Inclusiv is expanding its training team. Inclusiv has been selected to receive and manage the deployment of capacity building grants through the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Clean Communities Investment Accelerator (CCIA), a program of the EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF). Inclusiv intends to deliver capital to credit unions that lend in low-income and disadvantaged communities (as defined by Justice40) to reduce carbon emissions, build healthier communities, create jobs in a greening economy and improve the financial security of consumers, households and small business.

    Inclusiv seeks a passionate, dynamic, experienced professional with background in clean and green energy solutions, finance, and adult learning to support the Climate Finance Training program at Inclusiv’s Center for Resiliency and Clean Energy. The Training Associate will be responsible for supporting all aspects of the climate finance training program. The ideal candidate will have a demonstrated interest in training lending professionals in creating flexible financing vehicles to stimulate and grow the availability and deployment of clean and green energy solutions, particularly among low- and moderate-income residents and communities. This person will support and advise on in-person and online training curriculum for lenders, engage community lending professionals in a learning network, and support and guide the implementation of green lending programs.

    The Training Associate is a key member of Center for Resiliency team, with responsibilities for building and delivering lending capacity at 100-150 financial institutions each year. Specifically, the Training Associate will report to the VP, Center for Resiliency and Clean Energy to support all aspects of training program design and implementation, working in close partnership and coordination with the University of New Hampshire and colleagues at Inclusiv.

    The ideal candidate should live within commuting distance of the New York City office and be able to work on-site in the local office in compliance with Inclusiv’s hybrid work schedule (2 days in-office, 3 days remote). Occasional travel will be required for conferences, site visits, and all-staff gatherings.
