Chair of the Board of Directors

Company Description

Consultyica is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit fintech organization building a first-of-its-kind community credit infrastructure for people the traditional financial system was never built to serve, gig workers, returning citizens, immigrants, young adults, and individuals navigating housing instability.

Our ProV 24:V3 Score measures real-world financial behavior, payments, program participation, and community engagement, not just credit history. We operate as a closed-loop ecosystem alongside FinCliq (BNPL platform) and FinCliq Loan Services, where live transaction data feeds our scoring model and our scores inform lending decisions..

We are early stage, mission-driven, and building something that doesn't yet exist at scale.

Role Description

The Board Chair will serve as the cornerstone of Consultyica's board governance structure. As the founding Chair, you will partner directly with the Executive Director to shape organizational strategy, recruit and build the founding board, and ensure Consultyica fulfills its fiduciary, legal, and mission-driven responsibilities.

This is not a ceremonial position. The founding Chair will be an active thought partner, a credibility builder, and a door opener at one of the most critical stages of the organization's development.

Role Description

• Lead and facilitate all board meetings, setting agendas in collaboration with the Executive Director

• Partner with the Executive Director on organizational strategy, fundraising priorities, and key decisions

• Lead the recruitment and onboarding of remaining founding board members

• Serve as an external ambassador for Consultyica's mission with funders, partners, and the community

• Ensure the board meets its fiduciary, legal, and ethical obligations

• Support the Executive Director's performance and provide constructive accountability

• Assist in identifying and cultivating grant, funding, and partnership opportunities

• Chair board committees as needed and ensure committee structure supports organizational goals

Ideal Candidate

• Demonstrated experience serving on or leading a board of directors (nonprofit experience strongly preferred)

• Background in one or more of the following: nonprofit leadership, fintech, financial services, law, or community development finance

• Existing network in financial services, CDFIs, impact investing, or social impact sectors

• Comfort with technology-driven and data-informed organizations

• Deep commitment to financial equity and expanding access to underserved communities

• Strong interpersonal and facilitation skills

• Ability to commit 5–10 hours per month, including quarterly board meetings

What You'll Be Part Of

• A founding team building infrastructure that has never existed at scale

• A closed-loop fintech ecosystem with live data and real community impact

• A governance structure that spans a 501(c)(3), a BNPL platform, and a loan services entity

• An organization positioned to attract significant grant funding, CDFI partnerships, and impact investment

Compensation

This is a volunteer position. Reasonable out-of-pocket expenses directly related to board service will be reimbursed. Compensation will be revisited as the organization reaches financial sustainability.
