Balancing teamwork skills and the entrepreneurial instinct
The Next Street mission and model call for bringing a powerful asset to inner city small businesses: the tandem assets of growth capital and expert advice that are typically unavailable to this market. All Next Street staff possess “large company” experience. They recognize and understand the opportunity to transfer intellectual capital to this underserved market. The team strives for a seamless blend of a variety of backgrounds, including management consulting, investment banking and commercial banking. Opportunities to advance are diverse and virtually unlimited.
Candidates for positions at all levels must convey a passion for the Next Street mission and its values: integrity, transparency, excellence, innovation and equal access. They must also appreciate Next Street’s unique nature as a for-profit business that has substantial social impact in the form of economic development, wealth and job creation in inner cities.
Next Street also seeks these attributes in qualified candidates:
- A demonstrated capacity for teamwork as well as a talent for entrepreneurial innovation
- Willingness to work “outside the box”, beyond standard business hours and sites
- Affinity for a fast-paced, demanding, professional financial services culture
- Ability to think quickly and creatively while breaking new ground
- Capacity to work in a “flat”, multi-disciplinary structure rather than the siloed model often found in traditional financial services institutions
- Drive to challenge and be challenged, regardless of position or rank in the organization
