We believe that </span><span>locally based</span><span> social enterprises are uniquely qualified to transform these communities. These enterprises are on the ground, have the trust of the communities, and have created businesses aligned with their best interests.  </span></span><span> </span></p>\n<p><span><br></span><span> </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\"><span><span>Latin America Acceleration Program Description</span></span></span><span> </span></p>\n<p><span><span>There is a large gap that currently exists in the ecosystems where </span><span>NESsT</span><span> is present. Social entrepreneurs are often given support to launch their </span><span>initial</span><span> business ideas, but then they are often left on their own to </span><span>validate</span><span> and grow their businesses. There is a blatant lack of support for this \"missing middle\" stage when entrepreneurs continue to need business services as well as philanthropic and soft capital support to build out their businesses.  </span></span><span> </span></p>\n<p><span><br></span><span> </span></p>\n<p><span><span>NESsT</span><span>, along with its partners, join forces to co-create programs to address this gap and support selected social enterprises working across Chile, Colombia, Perú and Brazil. The programs aim to equip social entrepreneurs to grow their enterprises and provide dignified employment, </span><span>income</span><span> and quality of life to vulnerable people in these countries. This, in turn, will </span><span>impact</span><span> their families, other community members and customers.  </span></span><span> </span></p>\n<p><span><br></span><span> </span></p>\n<p><span><span>The social enterprises receive hands-on guidance from the </span><span>NESsT</span><span> team, external advisors, and private sector co-workers as volunteer mentors to support the social entrepreneurs with their business scale-up plans.   </span></span><span> </span></p>\n<p><span><br></span><span> </span></p>\n<p><span><span>Specifically, </span><span>NESsT</span><span> Acceleration Programs provide growth social entrepreneurs with the business services and </span><span>appropriate financial</span><span> capital needed to manage and grow their business and impact. As a result, they will be better positioned to improve their storytelling to reach business and social impact </span><span>objectives</span><span>. And they will be better able to manage their social enterprise impact. Overall, the programs also increase the awareness of our partners' customers about social enterprise products and services and the dissemination of best practices to the broader social enterprise sector. </span></span><span> </span></p>\n<p><span><br></span><br><span style=\"font-weight: bold\"><span><span>Position Overview:</span></span></span><span> </span></p>\n<p><span><span>The Senior Portfolio </span><span>Associate</span><span> will support and </span><span>provide</span><span> strategic guidance to a portfolio of social enterprises in Colombia, helping them strengthen their business models, operations, and social/environmental impact.
