[Hiring] Finance Transformation Manager @M-KOPA

Role Description

You know the difference between a demo and a system that survives contact with a trial balance. That's rarer than you think. M-KOPA is looking for someone who has — or someone ready to prove they can.

M-KOPA is one of Africa's fastest-growing fintechs, now serving 7 million customers across five markets and having unlocked over $2 billion in credit. Behind those numbers is a finance function running on Microsoft Dynamics and Anaplan, increasingly threaded through with Claude, and a leadership team that's decided this is the moment to stop treating AI as an experiment and start treating it as infrastructure.

This role exists because our leadership has committed to closing that gap now, not after it becomes a bottleneck.

• Demonstrable experience deploying Claude (or a comparable AI system) in a real business context — prompt design, workflow automation, API integration, and artefacts that actually run in production.
• A technical foundation strong enough to read a data model and a trial balance in the same afternoon, paired with exceptional learning aptitude.
• Working knowledge of how audit actually works in practice: mining and structuring data for external and internal audit processes, and following through on remediation of findings.

Qualifications

• Experience with Dynamics-Anaplan integration.
• Ability to build agents that automate reconciliation processes.
• Strong understanding of finance and engineering principles.

Requirements

• Ability to work remotely or from any of our operating markets.
• Willingness to tackle complex financial and accounting scenarios.
• Ability to communicate effectively between finance and engineering teams.

Benefits

• Diverse development programs and coaching partnerships.
• Family-friendly policies and prioritization of well-being.
• Embrace of flexibility in work arrangements.
