We’re committed to creating meaningful impact in Colorado’s communities by providing equitable and affordable business financing for entrepreneurs who cannot access bank loans or 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.

Colorado small business owners and entrepreneurs seek aid from our organization in moving towards the major step of asking for financial loans that they have not been able to find from traditional resources such as banks.

CEF offers a hybrid work environment with a blend of in-office and remote work. Candidates must be based in Colorado Springs, Pueblo or surrounding areas for this opportunity.

We have an immediate opening in Southern Colorado for a Community Loan Officer (SoCO CLO). This is an important role with the ability to make a large impact in the Colorado small business community. We need someone who understands that serving others will make them the most successful. We are looking for a self-motivated teammate who is passionate about small business and entrepreneurs!

The main duties of a SoCO CLO at CEF are to connect with referral sources such as banks, Small Business Administration (SBA) offices, Small Business Development Center (SBDC) and other community organizations in El Paso, Teller, Pueblo, and Fremont County to cultivate and manage loan applications to completed funding. The ability to build trust and be involved in daily business development work will be critical to success in this role.

The ideal candidate for this position will have a demonstrated history of successfully meeting lead generation targets, fostering strong relationships, and a solid understanding of business financial statements and tax returns.
