Associate Field Manager - Internal Audit

GiveDirectly

Uganda3 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. Job Title: Associate Field Manager - Internal Audit Location: Kaliro District, Uganda Reports to: Field Manager, Internal Audit Overview: The Associate Field Manager - Internal Audit will play a central role in ensuring that GiveDirectly delivers a gold-standard product to donors and recipients.

Field Sales Manager - Western Cape

M-KOPA

Western Cape4 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.

Strategic Account Executive

Andela

Africa4 months ago

About Andela At Andela, we know brilliance is evenly distributed around the world, but opportunity is not. For over 10 years, Andela has connected its customers with top global, remote technical talent from over 135 countries with the majority residing in emerging markets like Africa and Latin America. As one of the world’s largest talent marketplaces, Andela gives companies greater flexibility to quickly deploy qualified technologists. With talent highly skilled in advanced technologies to support Application Development, Artificial Intelligence, Cloud & DevOps, Data Engineering, and much more, customers experience 33% faster project delivery. The company’s exclusive AI-powered platform, Andela Talent Cloud, is the industry’s only unified platform managing the complete global talent lifecycle and enables customers to fill individual roles or engage fully managed teams up to 66% faster. Andela is on the precipice of two breakout industry transformations: one in staffing/hiring and the other in software development, both accelerated by generative AI. Are you an exceptional, hungry leader seasoned in scaling businesses through transformation and growth? Join us and change the world. Job Summary Andela is seeking a strategic sales leader with 7–10 years of experience in tech services, staffing, or SaaS. This leader understands how to build revenue in complex, emerging markets and thrives in environments where the playbook isn't fully written yet. This role is about more than closing deals. You'll be mapping and activating an ecosystem of enterprise customers, high-growth startups/scaleups, government entities, development foundations and NGOs, private investors, and channel partners including system integrators and local consultancies. Understanding how these players connect (and how Andela creates value across all of them) is central to the role. Partner-led selling is a meaningful part of how we go to market in this region. You'll need a proven ability to build and monetize partner relationships, including experience closing deals through partners, not just alongside them. But equally important is your ability to generate and develop your own pipeline. Our demand generation team and a dedicated SDR will support you with programs and materials, though you should expect to source the majority of your own opportunities. This is a regional role with Africa- and Middle East-wide scope. Some travel across the region is expected. Exceptional Leadership The best Andelans show up as brand ambassadors, trusted advisors, and innovation partners to the clients and ecosystems they serve. If your peers would describe you like this, we want to hear from you: Low ego, low drama: You share credit, take blame. You like being wrong because it means someone else had a better idea. One team mentality: You break silos. You put the company and mission first above your team alone. You roll up your sleeves when it matters. Great listener, hungry for feedback: You’re always seeking to improve our product, our business, and yourself. You solicit diverse opinions and deeply listen. Owner, not renter: You see a problem and fix it - or find someone who will. The buck stops with you. Business problem solver: You’re not just a functional expert. You consistently get praised for approaching your work through the lens of solving real business problems. Trust Builder: You have a track record of earning trust with senior executives, local stakeholders, and partners — the kind that takes time to build and compounds over years. In markets where relationships precede transactions, this is your edge. Thrives In Ambiguity: You're energized by building something that doesn't fully exist yet. You create structure where there isn't any, and you stay confident and resourceful when the path isn't clear.

Marketing Manager - Cape Town

M-KOPA

Cape Town4 months ago

Marketing Manager — M-KOPA Cape Town You've run campaigns that actually moved product. You've stood in a trading store at 7am to check whether your POS materials made it to the shelf, and you've sat in a boardroom at 4pm presenting the attribution model that proved the campaign worked. You know both worlds — the strategic and the executional — and you're increasingly rare because of it. Most marketing roles ask you to pick one. This one needs both — but with a clear bias toward where real impact happens: in the field. M-KOPA is hiring a Marketing Manager for Cape Town — a role that sits at the intersection of brand strategy, high-impact field marketing (70%), digital execution (30%), and sales-driven marketing that directly drives revenue across retail channels and DSR networks. If you've built your career in FMCG, telecoms, or a BTL agency handling major consumer brands, and you're ready to apply that expertise to something with a mission behind it — this is worth reading. What M-KOPA is building We've served more than 7 million customers across Africa, unlocking over $2 billion in credit. 55% of the people we reach are accessing formal financial services for the very first time. 86% report a meaningful improvement in their quality of life. We're growing toward 10 million customers, and Cape Town is a critical growth hub in that trajectory. We're also in the middle of a deliberate brand transition — evolving from our roots in connected asset financing toward positioning as a Smart Money Platform. That transition needs a marketer who can hold the strategic thread while executing against it simultaneously — particularly on the ground, where customer acquisition and sales conversion happen in real time. Why M-KOPA, and why now Most marketing roles in FMCG or telecoms put you in service of a product. This one puts you in service of a mission. The customers M-KOPA reaches — many accessing financial services for the first time and using financed products to generate income — are underserved by the mainstream market. The field campaigns you execute, the sales you enable, and the brand you build have a direct and meaningful impact on financial inclusion. We're growing from 7 million toward 10 million customers. The infrastructure being built now — from field marketing capability to digital ecosystems and sales partnerships in Cape Town — will define M-KOPA's presence in South Africa for years to come. This is a role where marketing is not support — it's a core commercial driver. If your expertise in field marketing, digital execution, and sales-driven strategy is ready to come together in a role that genuinely matters — let's talk. 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.

Group Tax Manager

M-KOPA

Kenya4 months ago

You've spent years doing multi-jurisdictional African tax well. You know what it takes to keep CIT, VAT, and WHT filings accurate and on time across markets that each have their own quirks, their own revenue authorities, and their own appetite for audits. You've defended positions, managed local teams without direct authority, and probably developed a healthy respect for how quickly a compliance calendar can become someone's worst month. You're accomplished at this. The question isn't whether you're capable. The question is whether your current environment is giving you the scope to match it. At M-KOPA, the tax compliance function spans East, West, and Southern Africa — across some of the continent's most active and evolving fiscal environments. We've served more than 7 million customers, unlocked over $2 billion in credit, and reached 55% of customers accessing formal financial services for the very first time. That scale generates real tax complexity: multi-entity structures, high-volume consumer transactions, intercompany flows, and revenue authority relationships that require consistent, well-coordinated management. We're growing toward 10 million customers, and the Group Tax Manager will be central to making sure our compliance infrastructure keeps pace. Why this role, and why now M-KOPA is deliberate about how it grows. Moving from 5 million to 7 million customers — and now building toward 10 million — has required us to invest in the finance infrastructure that underpins responsible, sustainable expansion. Tax is a core part of that infrastructure, and this role sits at the operational centre of it. Reporting directly to the Group Head of Tax, the Group Tax Manager owns execution across the full compliance and audit lifecycle — not as a coordinator, but as the person accountable for accuracy, timeliness, and quality across every jurisdiction. That's a meaningful scope for someone who wants their technical expertise to have genuine group-wide reach, without the dilution that comes from operating inside a much larger corporate structure. What this role actually looks like You'll own and oversee multi-jurisdictional tax compliance across the Group — VAT, WHT, and CIT — with full accountability for the accuracy, completeness, and timeliness of every filing. You'll maintain the Group-wide tax compliance tracker, review revenue reconciliations across markets, and own Group ETR analysis and reporting, including translating key drivers and movements into clear, senior-stakeholder-ready explanations. On audit, you'll lead execution across jurisdictions — drafting and reviewing responses to revenue authority queries, ensuring all positions are aligned with Group tax strategy, and escalating material risks and developments to the Group Head of Tax in a timely and well-structured way. You'll also support external auditors on tax disclosure reviews, providing computations and technical opinions as required. Operationally, you'll provide functional oversight and direction to in-country finance teams — influencing without direct authority, aligning local practices to Group standards, and building tax capability within those teams as you go. You'll drive standardisation of compliance processes across markets, implement controls and documentation standards, and support automation initiatives that reduce manual dependency and improve reliability at scale. You'll also manage day-to-day engagement with revenue authorities through local teams, support resolution of routine queries and compliance matters, and monitor regulatory developments across East, West, and Southern Africa — translating implications into clear guidance for the business. Travel of up to 20% across Group markets is part of the role, reflecting the importance of in-market presence to the relationships and oversight this position requires. Why M-KOPA, not somewhere else Group tax roles at this level often sit inside large corporates where multi-jurisdictional scope is real but autonomy is limited. At M-KOPA, the team is lean, the ownership is genuine, and the work connects directly to a business doing something uncommon: using financial services to improve the quality of life of people across Africa who've never had access before. 86% of our customers report a meaningful improvement in their quality of life. 70% use the products they finance through us to generate income. The compliance frameworks you build, the audit positions you defend, and the capability you develop in in-country teams will directly enable a business growing at continent-scale. That's a different kind of stake in the outcome than most tax roles will offer. If you're looking for a role where your multi-jurisdictional expertise, your audit rigour, and your ability to operate across markets without losing precision all count for something — this is worth the conversation. Ready to own Group tax compliance for a business building Africa's financial future? Let's talk. 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.
