As an employer we are age, sex, orientation, race and religion blind. As such, we take care to ensure that we apply wage equality throughout the organization. Libra believes that narrowing pay gaps across economies depends on two things: a culture of equal opportunity and equal treatment within the work environment, combined with selective positive action and intervention to lift people out of endemic disadvantage and give them the chance they deserve. We will not only continue to preserve wage equality between genders, but we will sustain the existing diversity to ensure that our group leads by example with equality at all levels.

Libra is happy to partner with the White House on an initiative intended to encourage participation from other organizations and to raise awareness on the issue of unequal pay, not only here in the U.S, but also in the global community given the international reach of our group.

In our experience, no matter what the role, communication skills are paramount. Of course academic achievement and professional experience are sometimes pre-requisites for particular roles, but long-term success and career development will always be enhanced by clear and effective communication with a wide range of colleagues, influencers and stakeholders.

With that in mind at the Libra Group we always look for the right character and personality. People who are hungry to create value through their work, who take responsibility and are decent to others. People who “keep their eyes on the stars and their feet on the ground”.

What kind of positions are currently available?
