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 assist with completing and coordinating the company's proposed application for a life insurance license. The company's strategic plan calls for the company to enter the life insurance market in Botswana (and eventually the entire continent), and getting a license is the first step in that journey. The role will include coordination with regulators, reviewing and modifying business plans, developing a solid go-to-market strategy for the new line of business, and working with actuaries and re-insurers to vett the product designs, pricing strategy, and projections. Through design thinking we have created and will continue to create more products to cater to the financially excluded in Africa. 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.
