Project Office Administrator
Role Summary Cenfri is looking for an Excel expert with exceptional attention to detail. In the Project Office Administrator role, you will support our research teams to coordinate and administer...
Cenfri has a diverse team of 50+ curious, impact-driven economists, lawyers, data
specialists, accountants, communicators, and innovators. As a not-for-profit development consultancy, we collaborate with partners to deliver impact through research, innovation strategies, capacity-development, technical assistance and convening.
Team members typically get involved in a range of projects that leverage our expertise in
financial sector development, consumer research, data-driven decision-making, digital
transformation and sustainability.
It is a joy to be surrounded by a group of people who believe so wholeheartedly in the work they do. Their passion is infectious, and one cannot but help be swept along with it.
What I appreciate about Cenfri is the flexible working environment. I can work from home or at the office. I have found actually that I’m very productive when I work from home – the commute time is saved and well utilised.
I want to say that what I enjoy most about Cenfri is Cynthia’s food… but definitely the culture of having lunch together and how much Cenfri focuses on creating a fun working environment.
I’ve learnt that Cenfri’s culture is learning culture. One has to be comfortable (and is always encouraged) to share his/her views on a topic.
What I enjoy most about Cenfri is getting to work with the most incredible, optimistic, and friendly colleagues who've risen to the occasion of changing the world, while having fun doing it.
I was surprised by how professional and dedicated everyone at Cenfri is. In addition, they are all welcoming and always available to provide guidance whenever needed.
We recruit people who find meaning in applying their minds to tackling persistent problems in emerging markets. And, ideally, people who identify with our values, have a keen sense of adventure and are passionate about contributing to something that is bigger than themselves.
Keen to work with us either as an intern or on a full-time basis? Keep an eye on this page for the latest job openings. Or, if there is nothing advertised currently, but you are eager to join our team in Cape Town or Kigali, have a Master’s degree in Economics, Finance, International Relations, Law, Public Policy or Development Studies, submit your details here and we will be in contact if something suitable becomes available.
