London, United Kingdom FINCA International Full time

We started in 1984 with a single subsidiary and a powerful idea: if low-income entrepreneurs could form a village bank™ to share a loan and guarantee repayment, they could access the funds to invest in their farming operations, grow their businesses and improve their standard of living. Remaining true to this original idea but evolving our business model to better meet the wants and needs of our customers, FINCA is now a global leader of responsible financial services and social enterprise serving more than 2.6 million customers with an array of financially sustainable interventions designed to improve the financial health and wellbeing of those who need it most.

We welcome candidates with diverse backgrounds and consider people at all career stages who want to help us end poverty. We seek individuals with whom we can build strong and lasting relationships – people who care about, and have respect for, customers. We look for colleagues who approach their work with joy, innovation, energy, and a sense of service beyond self.

The PW will be able to communicate complex information clearly and persuasively, tailored to various donor audiences such as government, multilaterals, and various corporate and foundation technical donors.
