<div>About PulaWe are an insuretech firm that provides agriculture insurance design and execution services, specialising in index based insurance and are backed by top tier VC investors who have invested more than $25 million in the business. Since 2015 we have provided climate insurance to 19 million smallholder farmers, 41% of which were women across 13 markets in Africa and Asia who pay an average of $6.8 per season to insure their crops. So far we've unlocked over $2.5 billion of capital from local and international insurance markets for climate risks since we started in 2015 and paid out $40.8 million to our client farmers. According to the UN’s InterGovernmental Panel for Climate Change more than 3.3 billion people globally live in hotspots with high vulnerability to climate change and are now already feeling the impact of climate change through increased temperatures and increasingly erratic rainfall. Insurance is a tool for vulnerable households in these affected regions to adapt to the effects that climate change is already having today on these households. It is a tool that enables for compensation payment for losses and damages that these households had no part in causing. Insurance compensation enables these households to make adjustments to their day to day livelihoods and practices and therefore allows for an equitable and just transition.We are a for profit organisation, and have raised over $10 million from leading venture and institutional investors as well as developed philanthropic relationships with private foundations and bilateral donors such as the Bill &amp; Melinda Gates Foundation and German Insure Resilience Solutions Fund that have accelerated investments in our target markets.At Pula, our values are: <ul><li>Obsessed with results: We are responsible for our future and therefore we get things done!</li><li>Connect the Dots: We continuously identify different customer needs &amp; business problems and build solutions that deliver value.</li><li>Have a Can do Attitude! We dare to do things differently to make things work.</li><li>We have each others’ back: We look out for each other &amp; we share high quality, timely feedback that makes us better. </li></ul>Pula is proudly fast paced, constantly learning from the challenges we face and overcome. We are proudly culturally diverse but united in our ambition of continuous high-performance. By challenging ourselves we believe that we can overcome the hard problems we love solving. </div><h3>About the Role</h3>You will be working with a team of actuaries and data scientists to build, price and assess products that will shape the future of agriculture, climate risks and other insurance product lines across Africa.

Since starting in 2015, our products have impacted over 4.9 Million smallholder farmers. Our Founders work in insurance has been recognized by several international awards including the Financial Times/IFC Award for Sustainable Finance, the Singapore Fintech Festival, Womens World Banking, Credit Suisse, and InsureTech3.0. We partner with organisations across multiple value chains, from agriculture to renewable energy including Fortune 500 Companies, Global NGO&rsquo;s, Microfinance Instructions, Research Institutions, and Governments to help provide households the protection they need in an increasingly unpredictable climate.
