About Roanhorse Consulting, LLC

Roanhorse Consulting, LLC (RCLLC) approaches all of our work through our core values, and we center the historical, social, and political context and knowledge of indigenous people and people of color in all of our research and evaluation efforts. We believe the community knows what works best for them, and so we partner with the community to create frameworks and processes that honor their wisdom and knowledge in identifying appropriate and meaningful data. RCLLC recognizes that this inherently creates an equitable space for those who are most impacted and ultimately benefit.

RCLLC utilizes both Western and Indigenous knowledge-based evaluation theories, frameworks, processes, and tools. Given this dual knowledge, RCLLC works in partnership with communities to identify and facilitate a meaningful approach that builds in both approaches, where appropriate.

About the role

The Capital Strategies Manager supports the RCLLC team to build and define processes that center people, relationships, and emergent thinking as we create new ideas for capital design and deployment. The Capital Strategies Manager will work independently and as a member of a team to manage information moving between RCLLC and stakeholders.

The Capital Strategies Manager will be committed to developing clear systems to manage complex networks and project timelines with enthusiasm, flexibility, thoughtfulness, and a sense of humor. Working in the capital space for many communities that have been excluded from finance can be triggering and at times uncomfortable, we lean into these vulnerabilities and humor to find ways to support our team and team members to advocate for self-care and space.

Preferred background/experience:Someone who has worked with and/or supported a lending/investment institution or has been part of a startup company (launched their own company), or has experience seeking capital for an initiative (including fundraising).
