M-KOPA exists for the Every Day Earners of Africa, the people whose income keeps this continent moving, and who deserve a real shot at owning the assets that power it. We've now reached 10 million customers across Kenya, Uganda, Nigeria, Ghana, and South Africa, extending over $2 billion in credit to put phones, solar power, and e-mobility within reach. For 55% of our customers, we're the first formal financial service they've ever accessed. Behind that scale sits a team of over 2,300 employees and 35,000+ field agents, and a customer satisfaction rate of 86%, proof that this model works because it's built on trust, not just transactions.
Imagine leading a team that isn’t just selling products but creating connections and empowering people in your community. As our Sales Executive, you will be the force behind the scenes, monitoring and delivering sales targets, developing local networks, and ensuring that every customer interaction reflects the values that make M-KOPA the trusted brand it is today.
Success in this role will rely on your ability to recruit, train, and mentor a field-based team of Direct Sales Representatives (DSRs). You will guide them, challenge them, and help them exceed their targets by crafting powerful sales and marketing strategies. Your leadership will shape their success, and by extension, the success of the business.
Your experience in Sales within FinTech, Microfinance, Telecommunications, FMCG, or related industries will be key to identifying growth opportunities and maximizing performance.
Your sales and negotiation skills will ensure that you surpass your targets, while your expertise in team motivation and leadership will inspire your team to do the same.
You will have the chance to build strong relationships not just within your team but with every customer, constantly learning and adapting in a fast-paced environment.
As part of M-KOPA’s team, you will also be responsible for monitoring and analyzing marketing campaigns, fine-tuning them to drive results, and ensuring comprehensive reporting that shapes future strategies.
Handling DSR inventory and managing audit recommendations in line with company policies will be second nature to you, thanks to your process-oriented mindset.
