COVID-19 CONSIDERATIONS:
The contractor assigned to this project will help achieve our un-tapped capability of putting on workshops for small business owners or owners-to-be as they achieve valuable certifications in curriculums of startup and operational excellence.
This is a 1099 Contractor role. Be aware of the two phases of this role: It begins as an educational analyst and finishes as a quasi-salesperson. Both roles demand, from time to time, a physical presence in Colorado’s Front Range, with a concentration on Metro Denver. The preponderance of the worktime, however, can be accomplished electronically.
A proven track record of soft selling is required, as is experience creating learning materials, curriculums, or teaching. A history of working with non-profit organizations is a plus, as is acquaintance with SBA procedures or working with the SBA in any capacity or being recognized by the SBA for service. A track record of working with non-profits serving small businesses owned by Black Americans and people of color (BIPOC) and women is another plus.

The individual assigned this project will accelerate our program of creating impact through cost sharing of technical assistance (TA) efforts of CEF’s non-profit partners. To date, we have deployed $66,500 to seven partners. Through SBA funding expiring June 30, 2023, CEF has the opportunity to create more community impact than at present. Cost sharing of TA is a new concept to CEF and to our partners. Therefore, some degree of soft selling is required, even though this service is entirely free. The acquisition of impact data from partners is the only conceivable “cost.” As such, soft selling is again required to obtain it.
A track record of soft selling, along with a thorough understanding of non-profit culture, is required for this role. Acquaintance with SBA procedures is a plus, as is working with the SBA in any capacity or being recognized by the SBA for service. A track record of working with non-profits serving small businesses owned by Black Americans and people of color (BIPOC) and women is another plus.
This is a 1099 contractor role.
