CSR lead till Hoist Finance

Hoist Finance is looking for a forward thinking and experienced CSR lead to drive the CSR strategy and take our commitment to CSR to the next level.

Hoist Finance is a leading debt restructuring partner to international banks. Our business also naturally includes debt collection through which we recover the outstanding debt we have acquired from the banks. Our aim is to support our customers in becoming debt-free, contributing to a society where individuals are given the opportunity to repay their debts in a dignified and sustainable manner when their lives have taken an unexpected turn for the worse. At the same time, we free up resources and reduce risk for our partners, paving the way to develop a functional financial system where it is possible for an individual to borrow funds for that extra something in life.

Our employees are skilled professionals, driven by the desire to make a difference for others through their achievements. CSR – taking responsibility for the ethical treatment of all our stakeholders and the world in which we work – is part of everything we strive for, from our business model and amicable settlements, to personnel training and green offices.
