About Arixa Capital Arixa is seeking the right person to help the company grow in a sustainable manner. Three factors contribute to making this "the right place and the right time" for this position and for Arixa:
Arixa is truly differentiated in our market. Arixa is both an investment manager and a lending platform, while our competition is almost exclusively lenders who do not manage discretionary funds. With our 12-year track record of over 1,400 loans funded, Arixa has earned the trust from investors to manage large discretionary funds. That allows Arixa to customize solutions for borrowers without special approvals from distant committees or boards of directors that don't understand our business. Arixa also manages money that comes from one of the nation's largest pension funds, another first in our industry that gives Arixa almost unlimited capacity to grow, as long as we can find the right borrowers and loans.
We place organizational health at the top of our priority list. Three years ago, Arixa undertook an exercise to place organizational health at the center of our business model, using the framework in Patrick Lencioni's book, The Advantage: Why Organizational Health Trumps Everything Else in Business. The result is that we developed a playbook that incorporates input from every Arixa team member, making sure that we remain aligned, and everyone knows what is most important—covering our mission, our values, and our top priorities each year (though the Lencioni framework does not use these exact terms).
Arixa offers a unique package of incentives and benefits. Key benefits and incentives for this position include customized career development and coaching; an outstanding package of health and medical benefits; and special opportunities such as a sabbatical program and gym reimbursement program. Arixa is employee-owned, which allows us to maximize our investment in our own employees.
