What We Are Looking For

• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple workstreams at once
• Excellent written and spoken English, with the confidence to handle vendor negotiations and stakeholder reporting
• Someone comfortable in an early-stage environment where not everything is defined, and who builds the structure

Advantageous: PropTech, real estate, marketplace or financial services experience; agile/scrum exposure (PMP, PRINCE2 or similar); a network in Zambia’s business, real estate or tech sectors; startup experience; familiarity with no-code/low-code platforms such as Bubble.io.

What We Offer
