JOB DETAILS:
Operations & Finance Manager - Rwanda
Who Is Renew?
At RENEW, we see opportunities in Africa where others too often only notice the problems. We invest
rather than provide handouts by finding promising businesses, connecting them to investors around the
world and growing them into world-class companies. We do this because we believe that many growing
businesses, together, create the engine that lifts entire nations out of poverty. Our vision is to become the best middle market investment firm in Africa, investing in 20 countries across the continent. We’re looking to hire those who embody our values and get excited about our vision.

Since 2012, we have been pioneering an innovative blended-finance model that partners with the
development community and focuses on investing in high-potential small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Africa. This blended-finance model allows us to invest in smaller deals that are often overlooked by larger investors but are too big for microfinance. We then help these companies build disciplined, gender-smart management systems and teams and grow them into market leading companies. As a result of our investment work to date, we have become one of the most active SME investment firms in East Africa, and our network of investors (the Impact Angel Network) has grown to become the largest North American-based angel network dedicated to investing in SMEs in Africa.

We are inviting passionate and qualified candidates to apply to join our team as an Operations & Finance Manager - Rwanda based in Kigali, Rwanda. In candidates, we look for those who align with our
values: loyalty, integrity, trustworthiness, commitment and a trailblazing attitude. We welcome challenges and face them head-on each and every day! What we do is not easy, but it is rewarding and forces us to grow and innovate. As such, we hire individuals who are committed to their work, take pride in what they do and are relentless in advancing projects forward in a systematic manner. Additionally, the people that flourish at RENEW are mission-driven; they see the big picture and the long-term result of their work, and they sincerely wish to make a lasting economic impact on the continent of Africa. If this sounds like you, we encourage you to apply.
