Our philosophy is important to us:

Work Culture
RIA is a start-up by two founders who believe in a flat hierarchy and respect in each other. As a
start-up, we have to work in a very flexible and adaptive way, and will combine a hybrid style of
remote and in-person work. In order to make sure that this is successful, team members need to
be very self-motivated and responsible. We are all responsible for our own time management,
deliverables, and asking for help.
The founders are always available to guide and answer questions, but we appreciate team
members who know how to ask the right questions, be respectful of others and their time, and to
offer their opinions and ideas.
We have to help each other in a start-up culture, so there will be no clear boundaries, and we
should always be ready to roll up our sleeves to offer help to each other to get the work done.
There is no work beneath us, and we are all learning, so everyone should be eager to chip in in
every way to help RIA get up and running.
Package and Benefits
RIA believes in remunerating our people for putting in great work to help solve problems. For this
part-time role, this is just a start for us to get to iron out the kinks and know each other better, so
the initial workload is estimated at 10-15 hours/week, and at a rate of $25/hr. The salary will be paid out
on a monthly basis at the end of each month.
Should this transition to a Full-time position, we will offer a competitive package with 21 days of
annual leave, medical coverage, and learning and development opportunities for growth. We also
offer the annual wage supplement and an annual bonus based on performance.
