The Fit - You & Spartan
Spartan SME Finance focuses exclusively on established SMEs - we are changing South Africa one SME at a time and need people who believe that inclusive growth can happen through helping SMEs grow. If you are looking to help us grow SMEs and build our SA - then you are the right person.
Spartan opened in 1981 and provides financing that backs entrepreneurs. This is done by adopting a structured finance approach that incorporates an intimate understanding of both the jockey [entrepreneur] and their business [SME].
We value a person with truthful candid talk, creativity, curiosity, conscientiousness and an obsession towards holistic learning & growth.
Were more effective as a team that works closely together and engages with its customers and stakeholders, face-to-face - consequently we are entirely office based [i.e. no work-from-home mode].
