Overview
VisionFund
is World Vision’s microfinance provider serving vulnerable clients
through loans, savings, and insurance. We enable families to grow their
livelihoods in hard to reach, rural locations in 25 countries so that
caregivers can create secure futures for their children. We believe in
brighter futures for children; empowering families to create incomes and
jobs; unlocking economic potential for communities to thrive.
VisionFund
is committed to forging a new path that will help us achieve our goal
of positively impacting the lives of 30 million children through our
strategy, Our Livelihood Promise. Based on the results trend so far, we
have realized we are not going to be able to achieve that goal with our
current structure and operating model. This will require us to
reposition the Global Centre.  
 
In light of the above,
VisionFund International’s Network of Microfinance Institutions is
hiring a Global Product Manager, Financial Services. The Financial
Services Product Manager will champion the overall strategy for product
management of Credit and Savings products that are delivered globally

twofold, providing oversight to the management and development of the

Savings provides an investment in our clients’
futures: safety net for clients, an improved ability to moderate
personal cash flows, and a better alternative for safe-keeping liquid
assets in times of need. The strategy is to complement the current focus
of credit lending, with a savings strategy and product suite to
specifically raise large amounts of local currency capital at low cost.
