What are the responsibilities and job description for the Compliance Specialist position at Matchstick?
The Organization:
CrossPurpose is a non-profit organization abolishing relational, economic, and spiritual poverty through career and community development.
Launched in 2008, our primary objective was to find tangible, practical ways to "love our neighbor." Over the years this has taken many forms, from providing a night out for single moms, to starting a Cub Scout program for fatherless boys, to recruiting foster parents for kids in need, and establishing aftercare programs for those who were being released from incarceration.
We have refined our mission as a career and community development program and our programs focus on urban leadership development as well as job training tracks. We work with disadvantaged populations and equip them with the training and skills to overcome generational poverty and serve as allies throughout the entire process.
Our dynamic team brings passion, diversity, and a universal commitment to our mission. As we grow our reach and deepen our impact, we are looking for the right people to join our team.
