WE ARE LOOKING FOR 2 SENIOR FIELD SALES MANAGERS TO JOIN OUR SALES GROUP AS WE SCALE UP AND DRIVE DIGITAL AND FINANCIAL INCLUSION ACROSS OUR MARKETS.

You’re accomplished. You’re respected. You’re probably even happy. But are you energized?

7 million customers. $2+ billion in credit unlocked. At M-KOPA, 86% of customers say their quality of life has improved, and 55% are accessing these products for the first time. We grew from 5 million customers to 7 million in a year and we’re building toward 10 million, carried by 35,000 agents and 2,300+ employees. If you’ve seen several of our roles advertised, that’s deliberate we’re strengthening the field leadership layer that growth depends on.

What makes this different

Your current role: you manage a number. This role: you own how a whole territory sells, from strategy to the credit quality of every sale. You’ll design the approach, coach the managers who run the field, and see the impact in volume and in customer outcomes.

ABOUT US

We foster a culture where quality leadership meets continuous improvement. Our team values analytical rigor, evidence-based decision-making, and quality governance that enables rather than polices. You'll be empowered to define standards, lead a team of QA Analysts, and influence stakeholders across Operations, Training, HR, Legal, Product, and BPO partners—working in a dynamic environment where your insights directly shape the service experience of millions of customers across Africa.

At M-KOPA, quality assurance isn't a back-office function—it's the strategic lens through which we protect customer relationships, build agent capability, and ensure the service standards that millions of customers depend on are consistently delivered.

What you’ll do

•Lead and coach Field Sales Managers and Sales Executives in your territory, supporting managers to land above 60% of weekly and monthly bonus targets and above 80% of monthly performance targets.

•Own end-to-end sales execution: design your territory’s sales and marketing strategy, grow volumes through local networks and lead generation, and protect the credit quality (QOS) of what your team sells.

•Use data, competitor intelligence and market trends to plan and report weekly to your Regional or Deputy Regional Manager and make business changes stick with your team.

What you bring

•A certificate or diploma in business management or a related field (a bachelor’s degree is an added advantage), plus extensive progressive experience in sales and a proven track record of leading teams.

•Demonstrable sales and negotiation strength, planning and organization, data-driven decision making and Microsoft tools proficiency.

•Established ability to motivate people, lead through change, manage conflict and stay composed under pressure, with high integrity.

The reality check

This role is demanding, with a wide territory, urgent calls and the constant balance of volume and credit quality. You’re probably ready for exactly this.

Ready to lead the field team behind the next 3 million customers? Let’s talk.
