We believe that building and supporting commercially successful insurance ventures in emerging markets can have a huge impact and provide attractive financial returns.

Develop market and sector analysis and database (incl. competitor analysis)

+
Assist leadership team with daily operations and key business activities

+
Engage with start-ups and represent the fund, e.g., at relevant industry events (on a case-by-case basis)

Entrepreneurial mindset/experience: you learn quickly and get your hands dirty; you can operate in a fast-paced environment; you take full ownership of assigned tasks/projects and deliver on time and on quality

+
~3-5 years of relevant experience in early-stage impact equity investing in Africa; deal origination, deal structuring, deal execution, and post execution deal management
