Who We Are

OX is a start-up automotive company with a difference: we are targeting the ~3 billion people in developing countries who have never bought a vehicle, new or used. Our strategy is to deliver affordable freight transport in emerging markets, driving a self-reinforcing cycle of economic growth and social impact. We will do this by implementing a “transport-as-a-service” strategy using our unique electric OX truck.

The OX truck is an all-terrain, high-capacity, zero-emissions truck designed specifically for emerging markets. Thanks to simple, effective, and durable design, the OX truck is more than capable of navigating extreme terrains in poor conditions.

Position Title: Driver Plus

OX Rwanda needs drivers who can manage a wide range of business activities. We call this position “Driver Plus” because the work is much more than driving. Some days you will be driving for our customers, other days you will be working in our call center to receive customer calls, coordinate delivery schedules, or you will do mechanical repair work in our garage, or community outreach and marketing activities. You will be engaged in all the activities required to deliver excellent service at affordable prices to our customers, including the development of the business model.

OX Rwanda will be hiring 4 Driver Plus, start date to be during August. We will only be hiring women during this round of recruitment.
