Fresh Jobs at M-KOPA Solar

Your Role in Mobility

• This is a central role serving the Mobility business and you'll be a member of the Mobility Leadership Team.
• You’ll be the first point of contact for Finance matters raised by the Managing Director, General Manager and Head of Portfolio, bringing financial insight into the decisions that shape the business.
• You’ll also work closely with Group Finance, leveraging the Group’s accounting backbone while ensuring Mobility’s financial reporting, controls and records meet Group policies and Big 4 audit standards.

What You’ll Bring 

We’re looking for a senior finance leader who is comfortable combining strategic thinking with hands-on execution in a fast-moving environment.

You’ll ideally bring:

• 10+ years of finance experience, including senior leadership experience in a fast-growing, capital-intensive or lending business
• Experience raising debt or equity, from financial modelling and investor materials through due diligence to close
• Strong experience owning a business plan, budget and financial targets, and holding the business accountable to them
• Experience leading financial reporting within a multi-entity or group environment, with strong governance and audit standards
• Experience working with credit or risk teams to connect portfolio performance, priced risk and financial reporting
• Experience leading teams and operating as a senior business partner, influencing decisions beyond Finance

What You’ll Do

• Lead and develop the Kenya senior people partners who hold substantial books across Kenya sales, retail, manufacturing and logistics
• Partner the Kenya MD and leadership team as their primary people counterpart, on structure, talent, culture and the hard conversations about leadership fit as the business scales
• Own org design, talent review and succession for the market, and act as the escalation point for employee relations
• Hold a focused client group of your own in business management, and customer care and collections
• Translate group strategy into what actually happens in Kenya — real decisions, structure and delivery, not a cascade deck
• Shape how we’re rebuilding job architecture, competencies and performance across the company — we’re open to doing this differently from the usual HR playbook
• We want someone who thinks like a commercial and operational partner first — someone who can look past the standard HR approach when the business genuinely needs something else, and make that call with confidence.

What You Need

Essential Requirements:

• Currently a Deputy Head of People or similar — holding your own client group, with a small team reporting to you, reporting into an HR Director or Head of People rather than running the function solo (but with a passion for taking the next step up)
• Comfortable close to senior leadership — you’ve built real trust with directors and country leads
• Real org design experience — whether built in-house or through consulting, you’ve designed structure and workforce plans, not just executed someone else’s
• Working knowledge of Kenyan labor law, with direct experience owning employee relations matters
• A business-first instinct — you reach for cost, risk, or growth before you reach for policy, and you can point to a time you made a call that wasn’t the textbook HR answer because the business needed something else
