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 the company's claims department under the salvage management team, to completely revamp the company's salvage management process. The company currently sells almost all its salvage to one contractor - an internal (group) company. There is very little accountability or systems that exist once a motor vehicle salvage is transferred off the books of the company. Furthermore, the company believes there is a vast potential in the sale of salvage parts and wishes to build a supply chain from Japan to enhance this aspect of the company's business. Salvage now plays an important part in managing the company's loss ratio and ultimately the sustainability of the company's business model. Recalibrating the way we manage salvage and developing a go-to-market strategy for the company's salvage business is critical to our sustainability. Join us as we build some of the most innovative and financially inclusive insurance products in Africa and experience beautiful Botswana while having fun.
