Overview

Drive Financial Inclusion Across Africa – You have proven you can build high‑performing retail teams, hit targets, and develop people. M‑KOPA has reached 7 million customers across Africa, unlocking more than $2 billion in credit for people excluded from traditional financing.

Why This Role Exists Now

Retail is where financial inclusion becomes real. Your teams will drive sales and become the human face of financial transformation for customers taking their first step toward digital access.

What You’ll Do

Lead brand ambassador teams across Johannesburg and Cape Town, building systems that make financing simple and dignified for first‑time customers. Analyze performance data to systematize what works. Partner with major retailers on in‑store experiences. Coach teams through complex customer conversations. Transform insights into regional strategy. Build career pathways for promoter talent.

What You Must Bring

• Extensive progressive experience leading retail or field sales teams with a demonstrable record of exceeding targets while developing people
• Proven ability to transform data into actionable strategy that moves business outcomes – you spot patterns others miss
• Established expertise in South African retail partnerships with a deep understanding of customer dynamics and what makes in‑store experiences convert

The Reality

This is demanding work—you’ll juggle team development, partnerships, metrics, and strategy simultaneously. The pace is intense, systems are still being built, and you’ll need to thrive in ambiguity with significant autonomy.
