Behind every M-KOPA employee who shows up, stays, and does consequential work is a benefits programme that runs cleanly, a wellness initiative that lands, and an operational system that handles the complexity so people don't have to think about it. The Senior Lead – HR Shared Services & Benefits is the operational centre of gravity for employee benefits, occupational health, wellness programming, and global mobility support across M-KOPA. It's a role that requires both precision and breadth: administering medical insurance, pension, and welfare schemes; coordinating occupational health and WIBA compliance; managing wellness partnerships and health campaigns; and supporting international assignment and mobility operations—all while maintaining the reporting, vendor relationships, and service standards that make the function credible. [https://app.ashbyhq.com/api/images/user-content/1d985516-2a99-43c0-b591-957f5adaceb9/2c6957b4-39d2-40b3-8eb6-7e380a0c2f9c/B13.png] WHY THIS TIMING MATTERS Having crossed $2 billion in credit unlocked, assembled 2 million smartphones in Kenya, and financed over 4,000 e-motorbikes across our markets, we're at an inflection point. The 5M-to-7M journey required building fast. The 7M-to-10M journey requires building right. The person joining at this moment helps shape how employee benefits, wellness, and mobility operations work as M-KOPA scales—not inheriting a finished model, but building the one that will last.
