Director, Inclusive Entrepreneurship

About this Role: Candide Group is seeking a Director of Inclusive Entrepreneurship to lead the firm’s efforts in advancing economic justice through capital allocation. In this role, you will be responsible for building and managing Candide’s Inclusive Entrepreneurship vertical, understanding that expanding opportunity through capital as a tool for economic justice can advance equity by strengthening local businesses, building generational wealth, and supporting entrepreneurs and communities historically excluded from traditional financing. The ideal candidate will have worked as a capital allocator for a foundation or similar Registered Investment Advisor, led an impact-oriented venture, private equity, venture or small business loan fund or portfolio, and spent time advancing equity and justice work or government policy. You should bring a strong background in conducting due diligence and investment management, comfortable conducting analysis across both debt and equity structures. While you may not have expertise in all key areas, you should have deep demonstrated experience in several of these areas and possess the due diligence and financial analysis skills, relationship-building capacity, and enthusiasm required to learn deeper underwriting of such opportunities, along with a deep awareness of the needs and opportunities in the communities Candide seeks to serve. This position offers the opportunity to contribute to thought leadership in the inclusive entrepreneurship space, potentially help structure and launch a new fund vehicle, and work with a team committed to using capital as a force for justice. You will operate independently while maintaining high standards for quality and rigor, communicating effectively across diverse viewpoints and lived experiences with respect and empathy.
