Self-Help
Position Announcement: Associate, California Office
The Organization
Self-Help (www.self-help.org)
is a community development lender founded in 1980 that creates
and protects ownership and economic opportunity for minority,
women-headed, rural and low-wealth families through home and small
business lending. It has provided over $4.5 billion in financing
to help more than 50,000 low-wealth borrowers buy homes, start
and build businesses, and strengthen community resources across
the country. Self-Help serves all of North Carolina through 7
regional offices in North Carolina and Washington DC, and provides
homeownership financing nationally through its secondary market
program, in partnership with Fannie Mae. Additionally, Self-Help’s
affiliate, the Center for Responsible Lending (www.responsiblelending.org),
researches and advocates for state and national legislation to
address predatory lending practices and policies.
California
Office Launch
Self-Help is in the process of recruiting a small team to build
a new operation in California. The focus of this office will not
be to replicate all of the direct lending operations active in
North Carolina, but rather to creatively deploy (and adapt and
expand) the products, skills, experience and resources built through
25 years of success in the field. We will also strive to create
innovative new products and services, working with and through
other direct lenders and community development organizations already
operating in California. We expect the initial focus to involve
some combination of secondary market mortgage lending (securitization
of low income mortgages), creating liquidity options for community
development lenders, and developing banking products to serve
low-wealth families. This position will be part of a start-up
team, and will be located in the Bay Area, most likely Oakland.

Responsibilities

Work
effectively as part of a small, entrepreneurial team to develop
and implement a strategy for a new Self-Help operation in
California |

a clear understanding of and fluency in the product offerings
and capabilities of Self-Help |
| • |
Analyze
the market demand and relevance of current Self-Help products
to CA needs, and help to create and modify products and services
accordingly |
| • |
Build
effective relationships with CDFIs and other collaborators |
| • |
Active
and hands on involvement in multiple community development
initiatives |

Content Developer
Overview:
Are you a highly motivated, economics-loving recent grad with

you have a knack for teaching and enjoy working in a team-oriented,
positive environment? If so, you should consider joining Aplia
as a Content Developer for our online economics courses.
The
Position:
A Content Developer at Aplia writes and reviews online teaching

position, and is anything but a dead-end job. Aplia employees
("Aplians") have a tremendous amount of growth and exploration
potential. Some who have started with us have worked their way
up into management and technical positions in the organization.
Others stay for a few years and then go on to graduate school
– for example, the econ PhD program at the University of
Chicago and the MBA program at USC.

Ideal Candidate:
| • |
Possesses
at least a BS or BA in economics or related field (masters
preferred). |
| • |
Earned
excellent grades and has good writing skills. |
| • |

eager to learn and grow with an innovative, dynamic company. |
Compensation:
Aplia provides all employees a competitive salary, healthcare
benefits, and ample training as needed.
The
Company:
Aplia is revolutionizing how college students learn economics.
The company, based in San Carlos off Hwy-101, creates and publishes
online problem sets, experiments, and other innovative tools to
aid students in college-level economics courses. Our tools have
helped over 350,000 students at 450+ institutions to date, and
we anticipate continued high growth in the coming years. Our products
support the college-level economics courses and we are currently
expanding into other disciplines. Aplia is privately held and
has a solid business model with a proven revenue stream. We are

for like-minded individuals to join our outstanding Economics
