Traits We Want to See in Everyone Adapted from Carrol Chang, CEO of Andela
Low ego, low drama, servant leader.
You share credit, take blame. You like being wrong because it means someone else had an even better idea.
One team mentality.
You break silos across teams. You put the company and mission first above your team alone.
Great listener, hungry for feedback. You’re always seeking to improve – our product, our business, yourself. You solicit diverse opinions and deeply listen.
Owner, not renter.
You see a problem, you fix it or find someone who will. The buck stops with you.
Player‑coach. Y ou fly high (create strategy) AND low (know the details that matter). You roll up your sleeves and get scrappy. You do this without micromanaging, empowering your team while actively engaging in important details.
What We Offer
Flexible, part‑time contract with the opportunity to grow into a full‑time role
Mission‑driven, supportive team environment
Opportunities for professional development and cross‑functional exposure
Meaningful work advancing equity for underserved students
