Join Telegram Job Description Join our Ghana Sales team! We're recruiting a Regional Manager to take dedicated ownership of one of M-KOPA's most geographically ambitious corridors — spanning Bono, Bono East, Ahafo, and the Northern Regions. You'll build a high-performing team, shape your own strategy, and lead from the field across some of the most dynamic and underserved markets in West Africa. The Impact 💚 Your leadership will directly unlock financial access for everyday earners across Ghana's mid and northern regions. We've now served over 7 million customers across Africa, unlocking more than $2 billion in credit since we began. Every FSM you coach, every cluster you grow, every agent you develop is a direct pathway to financial inclusion for people who have been shut out of formal systems their entire lives. The Opportunity ** PLEASE NOTE - WE ARE LOOKING FOR CANDIDATES THAT WOULD BE HAPPY RELOCATING TO BONO, BONO EAST, AHAFO, AND THE NORTHERN REGIONS ** 🎯 Mission-driven sales leadership: You'll own a corridor that stretches across distinct regional markets, each with its own dynamics and untapped potential. Your decisions will directly shape how M-KOPA grows in Ghana. 🏆 Global recognition: Join a company named by TIME 100 as one of the world's most influential and by the Financial Times as Africa's fastest-growing for five consecutive years (2022–2026). 🚀 Scale challenges: You'll be leading 12 Sales Executives and 21 territories across geographically dispersed regions — building management depth, densifying existing clusters, and driving expansion in markets that are ready to move. 🌱 Environmental impact: We're carbon-negative, having avoided over 2.155 million tonnes of CO₂ emissions to date. 🔼 A deliberate pathway: This role has been designed as a route to Head of Sales. We're looking for someone ready to grow into that seat. What You'll Do At M-KOPA, you'll own regional performance end-to-end: sales delivery, productivity, people discipline, and sustainable growth across Bono, Bono East, Ahafo, and the Northern regions. You'll set strategic direction, lead from the field, and hold your region to the highest standard — building the machine and running it. Our sales teams own their clusters from territory strategy through to agent livelihoods, combining data-driven execution with purpose-driven field leadership that creates real financial inclusion across Ghana.

You'll be handed genuine ownership of one of M-KOPA's most strategically critical corridors in Ghana — with the autonomy to build your team, shape your strategy, and make real decisions.
