We're upgrading our candidate experience! Genesis is currently transitioning to a new, enhanced applicant tracking system.

Please bear with us and check back at the end of the week to view and apply for our latest opportunities.

Although we have worked in more than 100 countries globally, our principal mission is to bring about large-scale change in Africa. Our work focuses on the continent’s youth as agents of change, including how global technology and climate change are shaping their futures.

We look at the world - and the continent - by identifying large opportunities for change, both social and individual. Our purpose as a firm is to unlock that massive latent value through a multi-faceted approach that we describe below.

Experienced professionals with an honours or master’s degree in Economics, or our related fields of expertise, and more than five years of work experience, qualify for recruitment as senior associates and above. Genesis values what previous professional experience brings to our teams.
