You've closed the books. You've explained the numbers to boards who didn't want to hear them. But have you ever built the entire financial architecture of a business from the ground up — while that business is simultaneously scaling, lending, and displacing carbon emissions one electric motorbike at a time? That's the question at the centre of this role. M-KOPA Kenya Mobility Limited is the electric vehicle financing arm of M-KOPA — sub-Saharan Africa's largest asset fintech. We finance electric two- and three-wheelers for riders who pay daily via mobile money, building credit history while cutting their fuel costs. Each bike financed saves its rider an average of $5.62 every single day. More than 4,000 e-motorbikes are already on the road. We're just getting started.

The Mobility entity is a critical piece of that next chapter — and it's scaling fast. It operates with its own balance sheet, its own lender covenants, its own P&L, and its own reporting cycle. That's not a legacy structure: it's a business being built in real time, with real lenders, real OEM supply chains, and real IFRS obligations. We are hiring a Mobility Finance Manager to own the full financial management of this entity — not to maintain a finance function, but to build one.
