APPLY II Wave Mobile Money February 2021 Recruitment


February 10th, 2021 at 03:56 pm

  • Company: Wave Mobile Money
  • Location: Ghana
  • State: Accra
  • Job type: Full-Time

Job category: Sales / Marketing Jobs in Ghana

The problem: In 2017, nearly 60% of adults in sub-Saharan Africa had no bank account. That’s for good reason—the fees are too high, the closest branch can be miles away, and nobody takes cards. Without access to financial institutions, people are forced to keep their savings under the mattress. Small business owners rely on lenders who charge extortionate rates. Parents spend hours waiting in line to pay school fees in cash.

How we’re solving it: We’re building financial services to work as they should: no account fees, instantly available and accepted everywhere. In places where electricity, water and roads don’t always function, we’re creating financial infrastructure that “just works.” In November 2017, we launched a mobile app in Senegal for cash deposit, withdrawal, and peer-to-peer and business payments and in August 2019, we expanded to Cote d’Ivoire. Our goal is to make Africa the first cashless continent, starting with Senegal and Cote d’Ivoire. That’s where you come in…

How you’ll help us achieve it

To date, we have over 1 million active users across Senegal and Cote d’Ivoire and want to scale as fast as possible across many new countries in the next two years. We are looking for an energetic and experienced Marketing Lead who can lead our marketing teams and build on our approaches to acquiring users effectively at scale. You will report to Wave’s CEO and co-founder.
