Coolest job posting of all time: designing mobile money for Grameen

[Sam Ladner]

Folks,

Olga is a fellow sociologist and a colleague. She's got funding to hire a product designer to work out of Kampala, Kenya on the Grameen bank's mobile money project. This has to be the coolest job posting of all time.

Olga's coming to Toronto in a few weeks and would be interested in setting up interviews while she's here. Anyone in this amazing city interested in an adventure? See below. BTW, Olga's work has received international acclaim. She was featured in The Economist and really wants to take this work somewhere amazing.

Hi Sam,
 
<snip>
 In 2010 I received funding to start up an innovation hub in Uganda with the core aim of incubating mobile financial services for the poor. But our key design lead just left and we are in a bit of a bind. I will be in Toronto in about 2 weeks and hoping to interview some candidates who would be interested in new opportunities that have real impact.
