THE ORGANIZATION
The Hebrew Free Loan Society (HFLS) advances economic stability and opportunity for lower income New Yorkers within and beyond the Jewish community by making safe, affordable interest-free loans.
HFLS is a nonsectarian lender, making loans based on financial need to borrowers of all backgrounds since 1892. HFLS maintains a repayment rate above 99%, the result of a unique lending model that relies on guarantors to prevent default. As our loans are repaid, the capital is lent out again and again, helping more people and multiplying impact over time.
This year HFLS will lend approximately $30 million to nearly 2,000 households, and we strive to help more people every year.
THE OPPORTUNITY
HFLS lending has grown enormously in recent years, with an increase of $5.5M (23%) last year alone. As the quantity of applications received, loans provided, and data collected increases, HFLS must devote increasing attention to the tracking, management, and analysis of this information.
The Systems & Data Officer will ensure HFLS has access to accurate, comprehensive lending data and is able to identify trends, concerns, and opportunities that will inform organizational decision-making, strategic planning, and outcomes for the agency and our clients. Reporting to the Systems & Data Manager and working closely with staff across the organization, the Officer will play a crucial role in ensuring HFLS is equipped to meet the needs of our borrowers and assist more lower-income New Yorkers in the years ahead.
Primary responsibilities include:
Data Collection and Management
Data Reporting and Analysis
