About the Company

Mogo Kenya is a CBK - licensed lender that started operations in Kenya in 2019. Since then, we have disbursed 40B KES across Kenya, and this year celebrated financing 500,000+ smartphones across East Africa. We are a fast-growing and ambitious organization, sitting within the Eleving Group, a global fintech operating consumer lending across 17 countries. In East Africa, Mogo provides asset-backed products to underserved customers across Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, and Zambia.

Our vehicle financing business - covering motorbike (boda-boda) financing and car logbook loans - is one of our largest asset-backed product lines, delivered through a national sales network. We are looking for a Head of Sales / Commercial Operations Manager to lead the operational engine behind it.

  • Oversee day-to-day sales operations, logistics, and inventory management across the branch network to ensure stock availability and efficient asset flow.

  • Own the sales operations governance framework, ensuring compliance, control effectiveness, and risk discipline across the sales value chain.

  • Manage commercial and credit risk at the point of sale, balancing growth velocity with portfolio quality and risk appetite.
