• Provide portfolio management support by helping maintain loans database; evaluate transactions and borrower performance; manage and maintain internal transaction/contact tracking systems (i.e., Salesforce) and associated communications; produce quarterly funder reports

Support and produce analysis for advisory projects and research reports for nonprofits and coalitions; create any associated deliverables (e.g., presentations, metrics, summaries, etc.)
