Exodus Lending is Currently Hiring a
Lending Program Coordinator

Organization Overview:
Exodus Lending is a nonprofit founded in 2014 helping Minnesotans break the cycle of predatory loan debt (e.g payday, auto title, pawn) through a 0% interest refinancing program. We envision a world where all people are free from the cycles of debt caused by predatory lenders and also work on systems change and advocacy efforts through its coalition, Minnesotans for Fair Lending. Exodus Lending is actively growing and learning and is on the journey of becoming a certified Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) to expand its programming across Minnesota. As an equity-centered organization with a small and hybrid team, collaboration and open communication is essential. We lean into complexity and challenges with an open mind and a spirit and agility to creatively provide access and opportunity for financially excluded communities.

Position Summary:
The Lending Program Coordinator (“Coordinator”) is part of a team of two in this role that serves borrowers through all stages of the loan process for Exodus Lending’s current loan programs: the Predatory Loan Refinancing Program and the recently piloted Resiliency Loan Pilot. The Coordinator will actively facilitate the end-to-end experience from inquiry to application to loan closing or “enrollment” for borrowers who have historically been shut out of mainstream lending. The Coordinator is responsible for evaluating the eligibility and completeness of assigned loan applications. This role involves a high level of engagement with borrowers, with a strong customer service focus. As such, they exemplify patience, empathy, and kindness in their approach. They are passionate about advancing racial equity and economic justice and have a deep understanding of how systemic racism, inequity, and exclusion impact economic opportunities.

If you are interested in stopping the debt trap and helping Minnesotans escape predatory lending and other financial traps through your passion and experience, we hope you will consider this opportunity!

We are accepting applications until Thursday, January 18, 2024. If interested, please send a cover letter and resume to [email protected].
Any questions can be directed to Jeremiah Fuller, 612-615-0067 X5.
