At Tala, we’re driven by a clear purpose: to provide financial access to those who need it most. Joining our team means being part of a mission that’s bigger than just a job. Here’s what you can expect when you work with us:
1. Leadership and Development: Grow with Us
We’re committed to your growth — both professionally and personally. Our leadership and development programs are designed to help you build new skills, advance in your career, and take on new challenges. If you’re looking to upskill and make an impact, Tala provides the resources and support to help you get there. Mia Lim, People Director of Tala Philippines, says:
“We’re seeing almost immediate returns from our learning programs. Managers are able to coach more effectively, communicate clearly, and motivate their teams through our L&D offerings. I even had a manager share that she used the 3Ps coaching framework from our Coaching for People Managers program in her next 1:1, which created a safer space for her and her team member to discuss career aspirations and creative solutions.”
2. Sloth Days: Take Time for You
At Tala, we understand that mental well-being is just as important as physical health. That’s why we offer Sloth Days — extra time off outside of your regular leave to focus on your mental health and recharge. These days are designed to give you the space to step away from work, reflect, and take care of yourself. It’s our way of ensuring you have the time and support to maintain a healthy work-life balance, so you can bring your best, most energized self to work every day.
“Sloth days are becoming a winning proposition among both employees and candidates.” Lim emphasizes. “We also have a culture around fiercely respecting sloth days and personal vacations to allow employees to truly step away from work.”
3. Work From Home: Flexibility That Works for You
Flexibility is a core value at Tala. We give you the freedom to work in a way that fits your life. We trust you to manage your time and contribute to the mission — on your terms.
Lim explains, “Our remote-first setup and flexible ways of working also allows us to accommodate diverse needs. From solo parents, entrepreneurs with side hustles, to those that live in remote areas, this allows us to tap into a much broader and deeper talent pool because we’re not constrained by geographic needs.”
4. Teambuilding Activities: Collaboration at Our Core
At Tala, we know that the best teams are built on strong relationships. That’s why we make time for team building activities in each department. These experiences help foster collaboration, build trust, and create lasting connections. It’s not just about getting the work done — it’s about enjoying the journey together. Mia talks more about Tala’s commitment to fostering meaningful connections:
“While remote work helps maintain work-life balance, we believe that collaboration is best done in person. We encourage teams and provide resources for team-building activities, anything from bowling and escape rooms to simple dinners. We also encourage teams to come onsite by offering onsite meals to foster a welcoming and fun environment.”
5. A Mission That Matters: Financial Education for All
At Tala, we are committed to providing financial empowerment to the underserved, especially those who have historically been excluded from traditional financial systems. Over the past 10 years, we’ve reached 10 million customers worldwide — a testament to our continued impact and growth. By offering accessible financial education and tools, we help individuals take control of their financial futures, opening doors to greater opportunities. If you’re passionate about making a real difference and want to contribute to a mission that directly impacts communities around the world, Tala is the place where your work truly matters.
Moritz Gastl, General Manager of Tala Philippines, shares, “Financial inclusion is our mission in Tala. Achieving 10 million customers reflects our longstanding commitment of serving the Global Majority, or those who historically have been excluded from accessing traditional financial services due to lack of credit score or history. We recognize their immense economic potential, and we want to unleash that power through technology, creativity and radical trust.”
Joining Tala means more than just taking on a new role. It means becoming part of a team that’s driven by a shared mission, where your growth, well-being, and contribution matter. If you’re ready to be part of a company that’s changing the financial landscape, we’d love to have you!
