About Optasia
Optasia's buyers are mobile network operators, banks, digital wallets and fintechs: it plugs its credit-scoring engine into their systems so they can lend small amounts to subscribers who have little formal credit history, and each deal becomes a long partnership with revenue shared and reconciled with the operator. The commercial side is organized by region, with a senior VP commercial over account managers and customer success managers who own operator accounts, cross-sell more lending products into them and answer for SLAs and billing, plus a sales operations group that runs forecasts and the sales incentive calculations. The open seats are a VP of sales for APAC, a working hunter expected to open doors personally at mobile wallets, digital banks and financial institutions and to build a regional team; a customer success manager in Dar es Salaam who owns strategic operator accounts and coaches the team; a senior customer success manager in Abidjan who needs French and English and at least five years of B2B account management; and a BI reporting manager for sales operations in Nairobi. Half of the six sales-titled postings are that single APAC role, listed in three cities, the rest sit in East and West Africa, and none is in the US.

Job seekers never pay to use this board. An Apply button opens the employer's own application page, or the page of the recruiting firm filling the seat; only where a company or its recruiting firm pays us for a hire who came from here does that link carry our referral code, and the fee comes from them, never out of the base or OTE the role offers you.
