      Portfolio Management

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Work with smart, creative and humble group of people - More or less flat structure with minimum hierarchy (CEO & President welcome new ideas and discussions -- unheard of in other NGOs) - Provide safe space for voicing opinions/ideas, transparent culture - Teams are passionate about human development, environment, and the betterment of global communities.

      Cons

      - Diminishing revenue streams is a problem, however, senior management is too comfortable with status quo and has very low risk appetite - Very little innovation is encouraged/sponsored, although staff boasts of excellent talent/ideas - Do not seek to understand market realities and adapt organization goals/strategies accordingly

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - People are talented, kind and dedicated - Kiva is truly mission focused, measuring impact first and revenue/business metrics second - Kiva is a great marriage of fintech and nonprofit, truly moving toward operating as a strong, product-led tech company with an iterative, test-and-learn mindset - Kiva has a strong strategy and foundation and is well positioned to increase its already outsized impact on the world

      Cons

      - Transformation to a strong tech company is still ongoing, so folks who join need to be prepared to hep drive cultural change. (For the right person, this isn't a downside!) - Kiva is very complex for its size, and simplifying (its tech, its metrics, everything) is both critical to its success and is an ongoing challenge - Pay is understandably lower than tech peers, as Kiva is a nonprofit and needs to be fiscally responsible with donor funds.
