With more than 4300 employees worldwide, we are driven by innovation, growth, and commitment to make financing accessible.
Mogo's mission is to enable upward social mobility for people in diverse communities around the world by providing entrepreneurs who are excluded from traditional banking systems with access to credit. By combining asset financing, fintech, AI-based underwriting, and proprietary car portals, we enable these local entrepreneurs (motorcycle taxi riders, Uber/Bolt drivers, and small business owners) to find and purchase their own vehicles.
We're looking for an IT Project Manager to join our Africa & Asia regional team and lead the successful delivery of technology initiatives across multiple markets, working closely with cross-functional teams and stakeholders.

Keep specs lean and clear – just enough for the team to get started without overloading on documentation

Systems thinking – ability to see how a feature fits into the bigger picture and shape it into a clear, manageable task
