Skills and Thinking Preference

You look for ways to do, instead of reasons not to. 

  • You are high agency, high ownership in everything you do. You know we own our future, only we can make it happen.  If you find something that keeps us from our mission, you own it or work collaboratively with others until you find the right owner of it.

Where some see impossible, you see a way. 

  • You have the strong conviction in our ability to innovate and bring financial services, and financial confidence to everyone across the continent. You turn obstacles into opportunity, chance into change.

You move fast and fix things. 

  • You publish early and often, when you fail you learn and go again. You know that speed gives you the licence to fail, because you’re moving fast enough to correct course.

You love creating more with less. 

  • Knowing that the biggest impact is born of the smallest acts, scale is built into your thinking from day 1. This is not about meeting the needs of thousands; it’s about exceeding the needs of millions. And working through small and mighty teams is way we’ll do it.

You seek out and value different perspectives. 

  • Believing that when we change how we look at things, how things look for us also changes. Making tomorrow not just different, but better.
