ABOUT MANGO FUND INC

The Mango Fund was founded in May 2011. Mango believes that the success of emerging, growth-oriented businesses that seek investment at the level described as the “missing middle” is crucial to the economic development of East Africa. These small to medium sized businesses are often nearing the tipping point of becoming relatively large established market players. As these businesses grow, they create employment opportunities that have compounding positive socioeconomic effects on the development of the communities in which they operate. Mango seeks to help these businesses get to and over that tipping point.

More specifically, Mango Fund is focused on businesses that leverage technology to perform value addition activities within their base countries. Our hypothesis is twofold: 1) local value addition keeps capital within local economies, and 2) the development of more advanced technical capabilities facilitates entry to more robust global markets.

East Africa, as with much of the developing world, has a “missing middle” of growth-oriented investment funds. There are many players seeking to make investments below 5,000 USD (typically called “microfinance institutions”) and above 100,000 USD (typically considered “private equity” firms). However, there are few established players that will provide private investment in the range of 10,000-50,000 USD. This is the “missing middle” and the segment that the Mango Fund is servicing.

Brief Job Description

• Client interface: The administrator will act as a relationship manager between the clients and the organization. Some of the roles will involve weekly check ins, payment reminders and ensuring that clients are kept up to date with any relevant information.
• Office management: Staff welfare is a critical to Mango fund’s mission therefore part of the Administrator’s role will be to ensure that the working environment is conducive in all aspects and that all office facilities and property are well maintained.
• Loan accounting: The administrator will manage the client loan accounts using the loan software application. This information should be updated regularly and statements issued to the clients on a monthly basis. The administrator will be in charge of performing regular bank reconciliations ensuring that all client deposits have been accurately recorded.
• Petty cash management : The administrator will manage the petty cash disbursement process and ensure that all staff petty cash accounts have been accurately posted.
• Any other duties : he administrator will be called upon from time to time to perform duties outside the above
