  • Attention to detail with the ability to manage multiple priorities effectively.

  • Team-oriented mindset with the ability to collaborate across departments.

  • Opportunity to shape the future of banking and payments in Africa.

  • Early PMF (Product-Market Fit) and strong brand presence in African fintech.
