About the Organization

The Momentus Capital branded family of organizations - which includes Capital Impact Partners, CDC Small Business Finance, and Ventures Lending Technologies - is transforming how capital and investments flow into communities to provide people access to the capital and opportunities they deserve.

Our suite of products and services, experience, and scope will foster equitable job creation, wealth building, and economic mobility.

Position Summary

The Associate Relationship Manager is responsible for supporting the Small Business Lending Credit Team (Relationship Managers, Lead Relationship Manager, Underwriting Manager), by doing initial review of prequalified loan files, and entering pertinent information using the organization’s underwriting software.
