Job opportunities
Ways to earn on Arewa Threads. Riders carry the garments; measurement professionals take the measurements a tailor cuts to.
How this works
Riders and measurement professionals work with Arewa Threads as independent partners, not as employees. You choose when you are available, you accept the work you want, and you are paid per delivery or per visit into your own bank account. There is no salary, no fixed hours and no employment contract, and nothing on this page is an offer of employment.
What we look for
- You turn up. In this trade, reliability is the whole reputation.
- You are straight with people, including when the news is bad.
- You treat a customer's home, and a customer's body, with respect.
- You can read and write enough Hausa or English to keep a customer informed.
Open opportunities
Arewa Express Rider
Carry fabric to tailors and finished garments to customers, in your own city. You choose when you are available, work is offered by how close you are and how well you are rated, and you keep 75% of every delivery fee — paid into your bank account daily. You need a government ID, a bank account and a vehicle suited to your area.
Apply to rideMeasurement Professional
Visit customers at home and take the measurements a tailor will cut to. You keep 80% of the visit fee, paid through the same daily batch as delivery work. You need to pass a short test on measurement technique, body landmarks and professional conduct, and to accept our code of conduct. Female professionals are especially needed: female customers are assigned a woman by default.
