Assistant Branch Manager

Who We Are

Self-Help began in 1980 with a focus on economic inequality, especially in communities that have faced systemic barriers to building wealth. Our mission is to create and protect ownership and economic opportunity, ensuring essential infrastructure—such as high-quality schools and grocery stores—supports opportunity at the neighborhood level regardless of demographics, income, or wealth. We pursue greater economic justice by providing fair loans and partnering to influence policy change.

The Assistant Branch Manager (ABM) supervises and coordinates all branch staff, reports to branch leadership, and ensures efficient, policy‑compliant operations. The ABM coaches staff, manages teller and ATM functions, and maintains a customer‑centric environment.
