Job description

About At , we believe every person should be able to access support—no matter where they live.

Our platform powers chat services on WhatsApp for organisations delivering health and wellbeing services at scale across the Global South. We’ve helped global leaders like WHO, and national health departments (South Africa, India, Brazil) transform access to care.

Now we’re scaling our work with for‑profit health companies that are redefining how healthcare is delivered—digitally, affordably, and at scale. We’re a small, global and remote team, from Cambodia to Colombia and everywhere in between.

We deeply care about our customers.

Transparency and openness are key to us, where everyone is able to voice and contribute to decisions — big or small.

We value a good work‑life balance, kindness, empathy and caring about humans.

Role Overview

We’re seeking an experienced Senior Bookkeeper to join our small finance team, reporting directly to our Head of Finance. This is an opportunity for an optimistic problem‑solver who can work independently while contributing to our mission of creating social impact at scale.

You’ll be instrumental in maintaining our financial records and supporting the commercial operations of a purpose‑driven B2B SaaS company. Sounds like the next role for you?

Apply with your resume and cover letter telling us why you’re interested in working with us.
