WHAT WE OFFER:

LONG-TERM CAREER OPPORTUNITIES: All staff members of FIDES have an unlimited contract that is not linked to any specific project. Staff turnover is low, which is a precondition for the investment in further staff qualification. FIDES offers a highly professional and at the same time family like team environment.

• making a significant contribution to development
• the possibility to live in and learn from different cultures and contexts
• working in a highly dynamic environment and team
• working in an independent, entrepreneurial way as described above
• working for both partners/spouses is feasible as well
• Monetary pay-offs include participation in the results of the activity and social security benefits.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR:

MOTIVATION: High intrinsic motivation to make a difference in development against all odds: show that development can be achieved and accelerated through social entrepreneurship by removing a critical deadlock: access to finance for the poor.

QUALIFICATION: Intellectual curiosity and open-mindedness: appreciate working in different geographical, cultural, etc. contexts and thus appreciate lifelong learning and adapting - this job will never become routine.

• Geographical flexibility: seeing the advantages and challenges of mobility
• Accept less comfortable contexts from time to time
• Work like an entrepreneur: independent, responsible, solution-oriented, creative, innovative, flexible
• High work ethic, quality standards and professionalism
• Ready to invest: accept good but compared to high competency relatively low fixed salaries, but earn bonus and career possibilities in a growing business
• Appreciate working in a highly dynamic and competent team: learn quickly from top professionals, learn by doing through high responsibilities right from the beginning.
