About the Role:

• We are looking for a Product Designer (UX/UI) to join our Africa team. You will own the design of our customer-facing apps and internal tools and work closely with the product team on research and documentation. This is a hands-on role - you will design real screens used by customers and field agents across East Africa.

What You Will Do

Customer App.

• Own the end-to-end design of the Customer App across iOS and Android, from onboarding flows to repayment screens and self-service features
• Design new features and iterate existing ones based on user feedback, analytics, and product priorities
• Maintain visual consistency across all app screens using a shared component library in Figma
• Work closely with developers during handoff to make sure designs are implemented as intended

Sales App.

• Design and maintain the Sales App used by our field agents to onboard customers and process loan applications
• Simplify complex multi-step workflows into clear, fast-to-use interfaces for agents working in the field
• Identify usability issues through agent feedback and shadow sessions, and translate findings into design improvements
• Coordinate with the product and operations teams to ensure the app reflects the actual sales process in each market

ERP Internal Tools.

• Design internal pages and tools within our ERP system used by operations, collections, and customer service teams
• Improve the usability of existing ERP screens - reduce clicks, surface the right information, and make workflows more intuitive
• Work with internal stakeholders to understand their day-to-day tasks and translate them into clear interface requirements

Documentation & Customer Research.

• Create and maintain design documentation - user flows, specs, and handoff notes that developers can work from without back-and-forth
• Plan and run customer research together with the product team - interviews, usability tests, and field observations
• Synthesise research findings into clear insights and feed them directly into design decisions.
• Maintain a shared record of what we have learned from customers so knowledge is not lost between projects
