Position: Outreach Director for Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses

SUMMARY:

BridgeValley Community & Technical College seeks a part time Outreach Director for the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small business program.   The position begins in September 2025.   The program is housed within the Division of General Education & Professional Programs with the Outreach Director reporting to the program’s Executive Director and working closely with the Program Manager.  This is a part-time, grant-funded position.  Actual offer will be commensurate with education and experience.

The 10,000 Small Businesses (10KSB) initiative is part of a national investment to unlock the growth and job creation potential of small businesses, and is based on the broadly held view of leading experts that a combination of education, business support services, and access to capital best addresses the barriers to growth for small businesses.

The 10,000 Small Businesses program has three main components: business education, business support services (technical assistance and customized, one-on-one business advising) and the opportunity to access capital.  The ultimate goal of the initiative is for the participating business owners to increase their revenues and create jobs in their community and surrounding areas.

Reporting to the Executive Director, the Outreach Director has the lead role in generating a strong pipeline of qualified and eligible business applicants for each of three cohorts annually to the grant-funded Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program. Primary responsibilities include creating and implementing a comprehensive marketing and outreach plan to meet the recruitment goals of the program, making public presentations, hosting information sessions, participating in other events, and making direct pitches to small business owners to enroll in the program.

The Director will identify, develop, and cultivate partnerships with relevant stakeholders, such as business Chambers and associations throughout the region, entrepreneurship training programs, CDFIs and other lending institutions, industry associations, small business and entrepreneurship organizations, commercial corridor organizations in order to ensure robust participation and full enrollment in 10KSB peer learning cohort.
