Hi there,

It’s another week but not just any other. It’s one that celebrates social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. It’s a week that’s important to us at Sidebrief more so because we have a female team lead. On #IWD2020, we highlighted 4 of our clients who lead startups that are breaking barriers in Nigeria’s tech space. If you missed it, you should check it here. As usual, we are have our compliance run down and we’re also hiring for several temp to permanent positions. We are looking for rising stars who are passionate about what we do and willing to join our team. We particularly encourage women and barrier breakers to apply. We love that you’re still subscribed and delighted that you consider us a part of your Thursdays.

We are hunting for new talent!
