Senior Manager, Programs (Mobileaid)

GiveDirectly

Maputo, Mozambique2 months ago

GiveDirectly (GD) aims to reshape international giving – and millions of lives – by providing cash grants directly to the world’s poorest. The Brookings Institution estimates that $70B of cash transfers would be required to eliminate the poverty gap; the aid sector currently spends $135B each year, much of it on evidence-free interventions. GiveDirectly wants to change that, establishing cash transfers as a benchmark for foreign aid – as the index fund is a benchmark for the financial industry – and in the process accelerating the end of extreme poverty. GD has raised over $1B since launching in 2011 and delivered cash to more than 2 million people in 15 different countries. We’ve also supported large-scale, experimental research that indicates strong recipient impact of our programs. As a result, GD has been celebrated as one of the most innovative non-profit companies by Fast Company, while the growing cash transfer movement (and GD’s leading role within it) have been featured in the New York Times Magazine, This American Life, Foreign Affairs, and The Economist. Our culture is candid, analytical, agile, and non-hierarchical. Our global team of ~150, and country operations teams of ~650, span 21 different countries and 69 languages. From software engineers to seasoned humanitarian workers, management consultants to public servants, researchers to field operations -- it’s an incredible group of people. Our values are central and deliberately opinionated. We genuinely center the people we serve in our decision-making, and strive to build an ambitious, dynamic and high-performing environment. We strongly encourage you to read through our values carefully, if they reflect how you like to work and energize you, this could be a great fit. We work hard to create an environment in which all our team members can thrive, succeed, and grow. We support high ownership, flexibility, take care of each other, have fun, and create professional growth opportunities. About GiveDirectly Mozambique & MobileAid GiveDirectly Mozambique is expanding both the scale and speed of cash delivery. A key pillar of this growth is MobileAid: using remote, mobile-based targeting and enrollment (and associated digital workflows) to deliver cash at greater scale, speed, and effectiveness—including rapid response after shocks/emergencies and, where feasible, anticipatory cash before shocks occur. MobileAid can also support improved targeting approaches for social protection, particularly in urban areas, by reducing the time and cost of identifying and enrolling eligible households.

Field Sales Manager - Western Cape

M-KOPA

Western Cape2 months ago

In-Store Promoter Manager / Field Sales Manager | M-KOPA | Western Cape 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. What M-KOPA is, and why it matters here 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. Why this role exists now 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. What makes this different 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 simultaneously, because at M-KOPA those two things are the same metric. Every customer your team converts isn't just a sale. It's someone gaining access to digital banking, education, remote work opportunities, and economic mobility they didn't have before. That context changes how your team shows up — and it changes how you lead them. What you'll actually be doing Day to day, this role moves across several dimensions at once. You'll lead and develop brand ambassador teams across two major metros, building the coaching systems and performance structures that make consistent execution possible. You'll analyse data to identify what's working and systematise it — turning field insights into strategy, not just reports. You'll manage relationships with major retail partners, ensuring in-store experiences reflect both brand standards and the nuanced customer conversations that financial services require. And you'll build career pathways for promoter talent — because the people doing this work well deserve to grow within it. The scope is broad. The autonomy is real. And the pace is high. Ready to build the playbook for financial inclusion in retail? If you weren't actively looking but find yourself thinking this is different enough to explore — that's the signal. Let's have the conversation. Why M-KOPA? At M-KOPA, we empower our people to own their careers through diverse development programs, coaching partnerships, and on-the-job training. We support individual journeys with family-friendly policies, prioritize well-being, and embrace flexibility. Join us in shaping the future of M-KOPA as we grow together. Explore more at m-kopa.com. Recognized four times by the Financial Times as one Africa's fastest growing companies (2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025) and by TIME100 Most influential companies in the world 2023 and 2024 , we've served over 6 million customers, unlocking $1.5 billion in cumulative credit for the unbanked across Africa.
