Careers

"Over the course of more than 10 years, Root Capital has allowed me to grow, innovate, and actively collaborate with all areas of the organization. Is departmental pollination important? Absolutely! It benefits both our clients and our growth."

"Before joining Root Capital, I was conducting research alongside coffee cooperatives in northern Peru and met with leaders of dozens of enterprises financed by Root Capital. Each leader spoke passionately about how Root Capital was helping them take their business to the next level, acting as a true partner in that work. Immediately, I knew this was the kind of place that I wanted to work. In my time at Root Capital, that commitment to equal partnership and a client-centric approach has remained deeply true and makes me proud to work here."

“I was fortunate to visit RAOS, a small coffee cooperative in Honduras, as part of my job. Seeing their growth and progress since becoming a Root Capital client is what drives my work. They even signed their 2024 Root Capital loan right in front of me!"

“I am most proud about the collaboration between key departments in Africa that has enabled us to lend to new value chains, notably cocoa in the Democratic Republic of the Congo which is a difficult place to do business."

"My favorite part of working at Root is connecting with my colleagues. I remember traveling to Colombia for the South America team retreat, having two flight delays, being extremely exhausted, and running on empty—but being completely re-energized by the smiling faces and warm welcome from my team members!”

"Belonging to the Root Capital team has brought great growth in my career, both professionally and personally. I work every day under a solid organizational culture, with colleagues who are so committed and passionate about the mission, and with a high knowledge of the sector we serve. They develop strategies that seek to improve the living conditions of rural communities so that they are sustainable in the futureThis time is very motivating and adds great meaning to my work."

"I have been working at Root Capital for two years now. My greatest aspiration has always been to work with communities and contribute positively to their growth and development. Having a background in gender I'm especially keen on women and youth empowerment. I'm happy that working at Root Capital enables me to do that. I get to work with rural communities everyday through the partnerships that we have with our client agribusinesses. The impact of our contribution is evident, and I must admit that it is very fulfilling. Gives me a reason to show up daily!"

"Root Capital treats its staff like the talented professionals we are, investing in our development and growth, having conversations with us about our career goals, and offering work/life balance to promote a healthy lifestyle. I love working in such a supportive environment, knowing that our work makes a tangible difference in rural communities around the world."

I am proud to be part of the Root Capital team and to be able to dedicate my physical and intellectual efforts to the fulfillment of a great mission. Our focus is on the growth of agricultural companies in our regions, as well as strengthening and empowering women and youth. Additionally, we are committed to the conservation of vulnerable ecosystems. Coming from a peasant family in southern Cauca (Colombia), it brings me great pleasure to see how we contribute a grain of sand to the development and progress of my community. Personally, I perceive the gratitude that customers have toward Root Capital, thanks to our financing products and training efforts. Furthermore, I appreciate Root Capital’s continuous desire to reinvent itself.
