FINANCE MANAGER – GROUP REPORTING

M-KOPA | REMOTE (OR BASED IN AN OPERATING MARKET)

You've closed books that survive scrutiny. You've run audits, not just sat in the room for them. But how many of those numbers moved fast enough to keep pace with a customer base adding two million people in a single year?

M-KOPA is one of Africa's fastest-growing fintechs, now serving 7 million customers across five markets, having unlocked over $2 billion in credit along the way.

Your reporting goes to the CFO and board dire...
