About Yellow
• Yellow’s goal is to build an enduring business that makes life better for our customers
and creates great lives for our team. We provide solar-power electricity solutions and
financed smartphones which makes these life changing products affordable to bottom of
the pyramid households and individuals.
• Our story is simple- we want our customers to enjoy a better life with energy in their
home with a financed solar system, internet all the time with a financed smartphone and
afford them opportunities through an ecosystem of digital and financial services.

BUT NOW…
• We have launched a new business model and we need incredible team members to
exponentially GROW and impact 10 million customers by 2030!

What are we launching?
• We want to become the biggest smartphone financing company in Africa. We form
partnerships with smartphone merchants based on value and trust. Our model is simple:
we pay the merchant a cash price and the customer pays back Yellow over a 6 month or
12 month period. The customer takes a phone home on the same day however should
they not meet their payment, their phone will lock. We use incentives and our
technology to ensure every stakeholder understands the need for the full loan to be
repaid.

What will you be doing?
• Yellow will equip you with the tools and support. You will succeed in this role if you have
strength or interest in being confident and enthusiastic with new customers. You should
have a curious and creative mind, be eager to learn and build on your business
acumen, as well as being able to address matters with pragmatism and practicality. You
will be required to attend to walk-in customers in-store, perform risk assessments, meet
sales and collection targets, provide sales and customer support, educate each
customer, ensure customers understand the loan and smartphone and generate new
customer leads.
• You will report to and work together with a Merchant Business Owner (MBO) who will
manage all the merchant stores. As a team, you will ensure that each merchant store is
serviced and all new and old customers are educated and understand the importance of
repaying their smartphone loans.
