Drive country and regional project management across Africa— establishing cadence, accountability, and delivery against priorities, while embedding with country teams to support day-to-day operations and unblock issues on the ground.

Lead cross-cutting initiatives that span multiple markets, such as regulatory engagement, banking channel development and licensing — coordinating across country, regional, and global teams to align on approach and drive outcomes.
-
Coordinate special projects and task forces assigned by Africa leadership, such as strategic interventions — building the plan, driving the work, and delivering the result.
-
Develop a deep understanding of the Africa competitive landscape (exchanges, fintechs, regulators, market structure) and translate intel into actionable insights and recommendations for country and regional leadership.
-
Partner with Analytics, Finance, and Country teams to define, track, and report on OKRs — surfacing risks and opportunities early with clear recommendations.
-
Build and maintain trusted relationships with country GMs, global function leads, regulators, and external partners; represent the Africa team in cross-functional forums.
Requirements
-
8-10 years of progressive experience in startup operations, fintech, or financial institutions. Crypto experience preferred.

Demonstrated ability to operate independently — taking ambiguous problems and delivering structured outcomes without heavy supervision.
-
Track record of managing complex projects across multiple geographies and stakeholders.
-
Experience working with external partners and regulators is a significant plus.
-
Strong analytical skills — comfortable with data, OKRs, and translating numbers into narrative.
-
Excellent communication and influencing skills — able to engage country leaderships, global executives, and external counterparts with equal credibility.
-
Hands-on, execution-oriented, and biased toward action. No task is 'below' you.
