ABOUT LeCoR

LeCoR stands for Legal, Compliance & Risk and is the legal arm of African Leadership International (the holding company of ALX and THe ROOM). Our mission is simple: “Protect and defend the company”. and our strategy is to create world-class CATs and TRAPs to control RATs!

Yes, you heard it right. This means we do 3 things for our customers (our internal or external stakeholders):

1. We create Contracts, give Advice, and close Transactions (CATS),
2. We deliver Training, conduct Regulatory Assessments, and manage Policies (TRAPS)
3. And we do all these things to keep Risk At Tolerance (RATS).

As Lecorians, we challenge each other with complex tasks and let innovation and creativity run their course. You will own projects and work streams and rotational management roles. We have a strong emphasis on systems and processes in order to optimize for efficiency and we value fun, freedom, and feedback!

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs):

1. CSAT (customer satisfaction score - how much do our fans love us?)
2. OTD (on time delivery - are we shipping those CATs and TRAPs on time?)
3. FRR (feedback response rate. are we getting enough feedback from our fans/customers?)
4. FCR (First Contact Resolution, are we solving problems in one hit?)
