Careers
We are a strong community of visionaries, supporters, researchers, creators, technologists, and innovators who share a passion for supporting small businesses. Together, we are building a diverse, vibrant community where opportunity, knowledge, and access to capital are within reach.
Who We Are
We are an unparalleled financial support system that provides small business owners with access to capital, networks, and coaching. We work to build inclusive and accessible options for these determined business owners. For over 25 years we have served a client base that is nearly 80% women, people of color, or immigrants.
Small businesses uplift communities and anchor local economies while creating opportunities for themselves, their families, their employees, and our neighborhoods. Yet entrepreneurs who are people of color, women, and immigrants often struggle to secure capital and resources, as they are systematically shut out from traditional financing.
In addition to providing resources and loans to small businesses, we also conduct original research, advocate for policy changes, and finance community facility construction projects, such as community health centers, homeless services facilities, and youth recreational facilities in low-income neighborhoods through our New Markets Tax Credit program.
Our Demographics
Workplace diversity matters to us, and it isn’t just a catchphrase. More than two thirds of our staff are women and people of color.
Where We Are
We are headquartered in San Jose, CA, with a second office in Los Angeles, but the majority of our roles can be accomplished virtually anywhere in the U.S.! Our current workforce is national, dispersed throughout the US and we offer a hybrid work model for any roles that require some in-office collaboration with our offices in San Jose and Los Angeles.
What We Stand For
We are an equal opportunity employer and committed to improving diversity, equity, and inclusion at Accion Opportunity Fund. Candidates from underrepresented minority groups (Black, Latinx, Native American or individuals with national origins from developing countries that reflect the communities we serve) are strongly encouraged to apply.
