Why this role is good for applicants from Africa and Asia
- The role involves working directly in communities, so your language skills and local knowledge are valuable.
- Training is provided, so you can start or grow a career in microfinance even if you’re switching from customer service, sales or community work.
- The position is ideal for people who enjoy meeting new people, building trust and supporting households to save and access financial services.

- Results-driven with a positive, persuasive approach to sales and client care.
- Basic numeracy and good record-keeping for accurate transactions.
- Willingness to travel and work extensively in the field around Accra or Kumasi.
