The Role

• Demonstrated ability to multi-task and apply initiative and creativity on projects
• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Business, Economics, or a technical field preferred but not required

Jump Culture:

• We are a meritocracy
• We take our work very seriously but not ourselves
• We have our convictions but we’re good listeners
• We celebrate our wins and learn from the losses
• We try very hard to put ourselves in our founders shoes
