Lori | Data Entry Assistants
Lori is building the cutting-edge logistics infrastructure for trucking in Africa. The start-up is tackling a massive issue – $180 billion is spent annually on haulage across Africa, which means that up to 75% of a product’s cost is due to logistics (compared to 6% in the US).
Lori is seeking two talented and
hard-working individuals. One will be a key member of the finance team and the
other of the legal team. The roles will require significant amount of attention
to detail and integrity. The ideal candidates need to have the ability to
problem solve in a fast-paced environment and a commitment to execute to the
highest degree of accuracy.
