About

Founded by Janina Peter and Malish James, Bridging Gaps introduced a pay-it-forward community microloan model to address food security and poverty among refugees. By merging charity and microfinance, we empower entrepreneurs and create sustainable financial structures. Our digital platform secures donations from Europe and the global north, transforming them into microloans that ripple through the community. Unlike traditional repayable microloans, our model is based on a pay-it-forward approach. As businesses thrive, loans are passed on to new entrepreneurs in the same community, creating a sustainable ripple effect of new initiatives and, long-term, new independent financial structures. Donors receive continuous updates on the impactful stories of the entrepreneurs they support through our digital platform, fostering a sense of connection and engagement with the community. This innovative approach not only addresses immediate needs but also promotes lasting, self-sustaining initiatives. We are looking for a passionate and experienced individual to join our team as a Happiness Manager. This role provides a unique opportunity to significantly contribute to our mission while developing your professional skills in team engagement, well-being initiatives, and organizational culture enhancement.

• Promote a positive organizational culture that aligns with Bridging Gaps' values and mission.
• Monitor team satisfaction levels and provide regular feedback to leadership with recommendations for improvement.
• Foster inclusivity and diversity by ensuring that every team member feels valued and appreciated.

Requirements:
