Jumia

Overview

You will see the whole payment chain, from the request raised in an operating company to the cash leaving the bank, across all our African markets and the Group's central entities.

About Jumia

Jumia is a leading pan-African e-commerce platform. Its mission is to improve the quality of everyday life in Africa by leveraging technology to deliver innovative, convenient and affordable online services to customers, while helping businesses grow as they use Jumia's platform to better reach and serve customers.

Requirements & Eligibility

• Degree in Accounting, Management, Finance, or equivalent training.
• Analytical prowess: You chase the number that does not tie until it explains itself.
• Control mindset: You notice the request that does not look right, and you say so.
• Precision: Payments are unforgiving. A wrong digit is somebody's missing money and your afternoon gone.
• Tech-savvy: You pick up a new system without hand-holding, you are at ease working with data, and you would rather automate a repetitive task than get good at repeating it.
• Adaptability: Legal entities across Africa, Europe and the UAE, each with its own banks, rules and rhythm.
• Communication: Fluent in English, written and spoken. French is a plus for our francophone markets.

Key Responsibilities

• Payment execution: Suppliers, logistics partners and sellers across Africa get paid because you moved.
• Cash control: You are the person who knows where the money is.
• Financial control: Bank accounts and payee records are the front door of the company, and you hold the keys.
• Stakeholder communication: Local finance and operations teams, banks and payment providers all come to you.
• Audit support: Jumia is listed in New York, so the cash you handle gets tested.
• Better ways of working: The job we hire you into should not be the job you are doing a year from now.
