Principal Architect

Ezra

Job Title: Principal Architect Location: Nairobi, Kenya Reports to: Director, Technology Delivery The Principal Architect is a highly experienced, hands-on, senior individual contributor who is accountable for the long-term architectural vision, strategy, and technical standards for our mission-critical lending, data, and customer value platform. This role balances deep, hands-on technical expertise in software, platform, and data architecture with the ability to influence and guide multiple engineering teams.

Regional Manager - Coastal Region

M-KOPA

M-KOPA has just crossed 7 million customers across Africa — up from 5 million not long ago — with $2 billion in credit unlocked and 86% of customers reporting a meaningful improvement in their quality of life. Of those 7 million, 55% are accessing financial products for the very first time. We're not optimising a mature market. We're building one. And to reach 10 million customers, we need regional leadership that goes well beyond target-chasing. If you've seen M-KOPA advertising across multiple roles recently, that's not coincidence — it's deliberate. We're in the middle of a structural expansion: deepening field sales execution, strengthening retail channel partnerships, and building the regional management infrastructure that will carry us from 7 million to 10 million customers. The leaders we appoint now won't just inherit a territory — they'll help define how the next growth phase runs. That window doesn't stay open indefinitely. If you're reading this and thinking you've been underutilised in a structure that doesn't quite match your ambition — that's probably the signal worth paying attention to. We'd love to explore whether this is the right next move for you. The Regional Manager sits at the intersection of strategy and execution. You'll lead a team of Deputy Regional Managers — managers of managers — owning everything from sales performance and stock management to partner store relationships and campaign execution across your region. This isn't a role you oversee from a desk. It's a role where your visibility, your coaching, and your judgment in the field determine whether targets are hit or missed. You'll set direction for your DRMs and hold them accountable to it. You'll own regional forecasting, diagnose performance trends before they become problems, and deliver clear, insight-driven reporting to the Head of Sales. When campaigns drop from national, you translate them into territory-level plans that actually land. When stock levels drift, you're ahead of it. When a partner store relationship needs attention, you're in it. A proven track record leading multi-territory sales teams — including managing managers — across FMCG, financial services, insurance, retail, or electronic device channels. Demonstrable experience driving channel performance across both field and in-store environments, with hands-on exposure to stock management, campaign execution, and retail partner relationships. Strong analytical capability: you use data to identify varia

Field Sale Manager (KwaZulu Natal)

M-KOPA

You've built retail teams that hit targets. You've developed people who went on to outperform expectations. By most measures, you're doing well — respected by your team, trusted by leadership, delivering results that look good on paper. But when was the last time your team's work changed someone's entire economic trajectory? That's not a rhetorical flourish. It's the actual question that separates this role from most others you'd be weighing up right now. M-KOPA has just crossed 7 million customers across Africa — up from 5 million not long ago — unlocking $2 billion in credit for people who couldn't access traditional financing. 86% of those customers report a meaningful improvement in their quality of life. 70% use our products to generate income. 55% are accessing digital financial services for the very first time. We're a certified B Corporation with 2,300+ employees, 35,000 agents, and proven operations spanning South Africa, Ghana, Uganda, and beyond. We've assembled 2 million smartphones in Kenya. We've financed over 4,000 e-motorbikes, saving riders $5.62 every single day. And we're moving deliberately toward 10 million customers. Retail is where that journey becomes real for most customers — and this role sits right at the centre of it. If you've seen M-KOPA advertising multiple roles recently, that's not coincidence. The infrastructure that got us from 5 million to 7 million customers is not the infrastructure that gets us to 10 million. We're systematically building the leadership layer for our next growth phase — and this role is a deliberate part of that. In-store is where financial inclusion stops being a strategy and becomes a human moment. The person standing at the point of sale, helping a first-time customer understand what financing they can access — that's your team. Building the systems that make that moment simple, dignified, and repeatable across Johannesburg and Cape Town is the work. Here's the honest contrast. In most retail management roles, you optimise existing processes, manage to KPIs that others have set, and measure your success in revenue. That's not a criticism — it's just what most roles are. This one isn't. Here, you'll build the playbook for how financial inclusion happens in retail across Africa. You'll shape regional strategy directly, not inherit someone else's. You'll partner with major retailers as an equal — not as a vendor chasing shelf space. And you'll measure success in growth targets and lives changed simult
