Job Advert Summary

INTRODUCTION:

Some people are happy to go through life in a comfortable bubble and that is great, we don't judge, but at Hello Group we believe that if we can change lives it's a day well-lived. We change lives every minute of the day, literally. We solve problems that others think are impossible and have fun while doing them. It's our passion to build life-changing businesses and to stay in the chaos and not have to settle into the routine. We believe in employing smart people on the ground, in telling us what to do. What do you say...do you want to join our weird and wonderful family?

WHO ARE WE?

The Hello Group exists to create game-changing integrated consumer and business services for migrant and marginalised communities. Our services are co-created to be low cost, easily accessible, and amazingly simple to use with technology at the very core. By constantly evolving for consumers and resellers we maintain market leadership and entrench the Hello Group within the fabric of our communities.



We know we have succeeded when we are the dominant telecom, financial, business and media service provider within our target markets, very few people leave us for the competition, and we get more new customers from referrals than from active selling.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?

We break down barriers.



We defy bias.



We level the playing field.



We thereby enhance every facet of the lives of the migrant and marginalised communities.
