- Clear, concise written & spoken English.
- Appetite for high-intensity work, blunt feedback and autonomy.
BONUS POINTS
- French proficiency.
- Technical background or experience hiring tech roles (engineering, product, data).
- Strong network/experience in African startups.
- Experience working in South Africa
