About the company: Alpha Direct is an exciting and vibrant young company, operating in the insurance and insuretech space in Africa. Located at the Botswana Innovation Hub (dubbed the "Silicon Valley of Africa") in Gaborone, we are a young and energetic team of insurance professionals looking to transform Africa through innovation.

Project Description: Alpha Direct seeks an intern to work within our software development team to launch a new product addition, known as ''cash back,'' within our core software application. We want to launch the first cash-back program for motor insurance clients who don't file a claim in three years or more, with automated notifications, system computations, reserving and re-insurance management. Implementing this project successfully will enable us to further our mission of bringing the vast majority of uninsured Africans into the mainstream world of financial services. Join us as we build some of the most innovative and financially inclusive insurance products in Africa and get to experience beautiful Botswana while having fun.
