Who is PawaPay
PawaPay is a pan-African fintech enabling local payment channels used by the mass market to both local and international merchants. We operate in a highly regulated, partner-driven environment and are in scale-up mode, with ambitious growth plans across multiple African markets.
Our vision is to simplify business for companies and consumers in Africa and we do that by ensuring that payments simply work, at scale, despite fragmentation and complexity that exists on the Continent.
Through our payments API we already facilitate over 4 million transactions a day across 20 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. We are the largest PSP on the Continent for the processing of mobile money payments, and have positioned ourselves well to lead the payment space as it grows over the next decade.

The fast-paced, ever-changing environment will suit someone who can adapt and think on their feet. In return, you will have the opportunity to work alongside a group of dedicated and smart individuals working towards the same mission. We work as a remote team and have team members in Europe, Africa and Asia.
As the Country Director for Mali at PawaPay, you will lead the company’s operations and partner relationships within Mali. This role combines relationship management, business development execution, and operational oversight with core governance duties. You will support the execution of Group strategy locally, helping identify growth opportunities while ensuring that PawaPay delivers exceptional service levels and strong partner performance in the market.
You will work closely with cross-functional teams across Product, Sales, Operations, Compliance, Finance, and Legal, ensuring effective coordination and a seamless experience for our partners.
