Financial Coach (San Jose & San Francisco)
Mission Asset Fund (MAF) is a groundbreaking non-profit on a mission to create a fair financial marketplace for hardworking families. MAF is a nationwide leader in developing innovative and successful asset-building strategies. Our award-winning social loan models build pathways out of the financial shadows for low-income individuals across the U.S.
Our Culture
Located in a vibrant and culturally diverse neighborhood in San Francisco, MAF attracts bright and talented people who are driven to create sustainable, scalable social change. As a nonprofit and tech startup, we attract individuals who like to jump in with both feet and who aren’t afraid of learning how to do better. With an open office environment, collaboration and teamwork are more than just a value - they're a way of life. Hailing from many different cultural and professional backgrounds, we are drawn together by a passion for embracing technology and creativity to make the world a better place for hardworking families.
The Opportunity
The financial coach provides direct services to low to moderate-income individuals who are receiving services onsite at the Mexican Consulate, as part of the “Ventanilla Financiera” initiative. The Ventanilla is a partnership between the Mexican Consulate and MAF to provide financial empowerment services to Consulate visitors to help underserved communities get access to crucial and tailored resources that can improve financial health.
MAF operates “Ventanilla Financieras” at the Mexican Consulate in San Francisco and San Jose. The coach engages and motivates clients, and assists them in building action plans that help move towards financial security and stability. The financial coach teaches educational workshops, assists clients 1-1 to identify financial needs and goals, provides tailored resources and referrals, and delivers key information in a fast-paced environment to a diverse community with a range of financial needs.
The financial coach will directly report to MAF’s Director of Programs and will be a liaison with Mexican Consulate staff to ensure clients are receiving the best quality of services possible.
The Role
Financial coaching involves an ability to engage and motivate clients, a strong understanding of personal finances, and the ability to impart that knowledge to others. The financial coach is responsible for guiding clients in developing action plans that are intended to engage clients with respect, and take a strengths based approach to help someone realize their goals to achieve financial stability.
The financial coach is expected to deliver services in a group and one-on-one format. Group activities include short “platicas” (3-20 minute mini-presentations) about a variety of financial topics, including: ways to build credit and what to consider when shopping for an affordable loan. Individualized action plans include a list of next steps, background information and referrals and may touch on several topics like budgeting, banking products and emergency savings.
The financial coach will work with MAF’s direct services team and will also serve as liaison to the consulate staff. The financial coach works onsite at the Mexican Consulate for approximately 30 hours a week and reports directly to MAF’s Director of Programs.
