Job Description
We are looking for a Safeguarding Lead to join our Impact team; as we scale up and drive digital and financial inclusion across our markets. Role Overview
Safeguarding roles in Uganda are almost exclusively found inside NGOs and humanitarian programmes; protecting beneficiaries in crisis settings, reporting into protection clusters. This is not that. You'll be building and owning M-KOPA's internal safeguarding function inside a fast-scaling private sector company, covering a genuinely diverse workforce across commercial operations. You'll have the mandate to design prevention measures, lead cultural change, manage internal communications on safeguarding, and own the full incident lifecycle from first response through to resolution and closure. The seniority is real. So is the complexity.
About Us
M-KOPA is one of Africa's fastest-growing fintechs — 7 million customers served, $2 billion in credit extended, and 86% of customers reporting a meaningfully improved quality of life....
