What You'll Be Doing

  • Grow our Mpay & Wallet business: Drive market penetration and help us meet our growth targets through innovative business development strategies.
  • Be a Mpay champion: Become the go-to person for your markets — bringing fresh energy, ideas, and insights to increase customer adoption and product usage.
  • Lead the charge on new opportunities: Identify potential partners, build relationships, and negotiate win-win deals that expand our network and reach.
  • Support and upskill sales teams: Train and guide our sales teams on how to position and sell Mukuru's Mpay and Wallet products with confidence.
  • Keep operations running smoothly: Collaborate with internal teams to ensure the business runs efficiently and customers enjoy a seamless experience.
  • Drive strategic projects: Oversee implementation plans, monitor progress, and ensure key deliverables are met.

What You Bring

  • Experience in Financial Services or Payments (Desirable)
  • Solid understanding of:

    • Payments and remittances
    • Contracts and commercial agreements
Your Toolkit
  • Great communication and selling skills
  • Strong organisational and time management skills
  • Analytical thinking and attention to detail
  • Proficiency with MS Office
  • A self-motivated attitude with a passion for growth and learning

Please note the following:

  • This is not an Tech Developer role. It's focused on growth, strategy, and business development.
  • This is Junior/Entry level role

Should you be appointed in a remote/work from home role at Mukuru, it is your responsibility to ensure that you have uninterrupted internet connectivity and a 'work-like' environment at your home location, in order to deliver your best in terms of performance, productivity and service to our customers.

If you do not receive any response after two weeks, please consider your application unsuccessful.

NB: ALL STAFF APPOINTMENTS WILL BE MADE WITH DUE CONSIDERATION OF THE COMPANY'S DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION PLANS
