Job Description
We're bringing financial services in the Philippines into the 21st century
Providing financing to small businesses is critical for their growth and development. Supported by First Circle a growing business enters a virtuous cycle of growth, employment, and prosperity for their environment. Currently businesses are badly served by inefficient providers who take weeks to process applications charge crazy rates. This is what we want to change.
We're using technology to remove the inefficiencies and reduce the time from application to approval from average 30 days to one day. This is a big challenge that will require a talented operational team to execute. We want to build the best and most ambitious operations team in the Philippines to be led by our first operations manager hire.
About The Company
Our multinational team of Europeans and Filipinos come from investment banking, consulting, and technology backgrounds.
We consider ourselves more "Startup" than "Financial Services Company". We have worked in both startup and corporate environments in the past and think there's a lot to be gained from introducing the best aspects of startup mentality into an industry which has been historically very corporate.
Our management team have held senior roles in a large pan-Asian startup which grew from a handful to 200+ employees. Our technology is advanced and underpinned by a high-energy account management team.
We're young and driven. The average age of our company is under 30. We are excited by coming to work and relish the challenge of getting better every day.
Great people believe in us. We raised some money in 2015 from a stellar group of investors including 500Startups Asia.
