## About the role

Credit is the difference between a business that grows and one that doesn't, a family that absorbs a shock and one that doesn't. Kita operates across the US, the Philippines, Mexico, Indonesia, and South Africa. This role is how that stays coherent. You'll work directly with Carmel and Rhea, our founders, and own the machinery that keeps a company running across five countries: operations, legal, tax, HR, finance, compliance. The unglamorous things that decide whether a company at our stage compounds or stalls.

## What they're looking for

- Founder types. You've started something, run something, or been the person a company depended on. What we care about is what you've owned and what happened
- AI-forward. You use these tools constantly and instinctively reach for them to do the work of a much larger team. This is not a nice-to-have here
- Genuinely sharp. Build a model, catch the error in someone else's, explain the answer in plain English
- Well versed on the industry, or hungry enough to be within a month. Lending, credit, and fintech across the US and emerging markets is the world you'll be operating in
- Learns fast and moves. New domain, new country, new problem, you're useful inside a week
- Exceptional written communication. You'll draft things that go to customers, investors, and regulators under our name
