Other stuff
- Women candidates are strongly supported... not to say favored ;-)
- You can work from anywhere at any time as long as you’re an amazing performer, spend time with your team/colleagues and share our values.
- All of our team members have a competitive salary, bonuses based on objectives and perks (insurance, flights, training, etc.), but we’re still a self-funded African SME, so don’t apply if you’re looking for big corporate or NGO money, car and suit.
- We don’t care how talented you are – we bet on reliable people.
- You’ll have a lot of responsibilities, be in touch with high profile partners and have to find a lot of answers by yourself like an entrepreneur. But don’t freak out, we have a structured onboarding process and you’ll be supported fully by other team members.
- Our company is the leading research & design company started from the African continent and we want to keep on sharing and inspiring even more designers. We’re not only having fun, we are also fighting to prove that Africa can be recognized for amazingly beautiful and useful digital products – so join us, we need you!
