individuals in emerging markets. EFL Global Fellows are recent college
graduates helping to tackle our largest issues on the ground across 4
continents. If you’re passionate about entrepreneurship, international
development, and emerging markets, the EFL Global Fellowship offers a

Description:
About the Fellowship:
The mission of the EFL Global Fellowship is to train and enable the next generation of global innovators in access to finance.
The
two-year fellowship provides a unique opportunity for young, driven
individuals to engage with a fast-paced startup in the field of
international development finance. In your first year, your mission will
be to propel EFL’s work by tackling projects across a spectrum of
business facets. The Fellowship will likely be based in Lima, Peru or
Boston, MA for the duration of the first year; personal geographical
preference will be taken into account. As the fellowship unfolds,
strengths, personal preference and company needs will define a
longer-term role at EFL.
Past fellows have had the ability to work on high-impact projects right out of school. Examples include:
- Designing testing interfaces that affect more than 10,000 unbanked entrepreneurs monthly
- Developing and implementing a mobile version of the EFL product
- Living on 3 continents and launching bank partnerships in Indonesia and Kenya
- Taking lead on alternative data R&D initiatives to dramatically increase predictive power of the EFL score
In your
first year, you could be asked to make contributions in sales,
marketing, business development, account management and technology and
product development. This will be an opportunity for career exploration
before finding your fit.
You will
be joining a tight-knit corps of friends and mentors – groups of Fellows
will periodically converge in the field to work on short-term projects
together. We guarantee at least six weeks of on-the-ground global
experience within your first year. Additionally, an important goal of
the Fellowship is to uncover and educate the future leaders of the
organization.
Your
success in both years of the Fellowship will depend on your ability to
learn quickly in situations that are foreign, to think critically
through complex challenges, to take initiative as opportunities emerge,
and to execute efficiently and effectively.
