Approximately four to six years of experience in venture capital, private equity, investment banking, management consulting or a comparable analytical role. Candidates may be pre-MBA, mid-MBA or post-MBA.
A genuine appetite for the apprenticeship model, and a desire to get hands on and learn the craft rather than to hold a title.
A real connection to our markets, whether Africa, MENA or emerging markets more broadly, through where you are from, where you have worked, or a network you have deliberately built.
Enthusiasm for technology, entrepreneurship, financial inclusion and investing.
Team player mentality, ready to support the team in achieving collective goals.
Drive, hunger, humbleness, adaptability, curiosity and openness.
Exceptional analytical skills and advanced financial modelling ability, with a desire to produce consistent top-tier quality work.
Ability to take initiative and work independently in a fast-paced team that is geographically distributed.
Excellent English business writing and communication skills. A large part of this role is making an argument on paper.
AI Fluency (Required)
Evidence of things you have built. Workflows, databases, screening tools, evaluation systems, agents or internal products that other people then used.
We care far more about what you have shipped than about which tools you can name.
Judgment matters as much as fluency. You know when the model is wrong, when to override it, and when the manual route is still the right one.
Additionally Desired
Domain expertise in financial services or financial technology.
Experience evaluating investment opportunities, with the ability to quickly identify and analyse the key questions, risks or upsides to an investment.
An existing network in African or MENA startup and venture ecosystems.
Languages relevant to our markets, particularly Arabic or French.
