Openings: 1 Location: Nairobi – Kariobangi North Light Industries (Kamunde Rd)
Driving financial products for SMEs is about connecting customer pain points with viable business outcomes. In this role, you’ll define the strategy for payments, lending, and value-added tools, ensuring every roadmap decision balances market opportunity, commercial impact, and operational feasibility.
Your daily playground spans research, P&L modeling, and cross-functional problem-solving. Expect to work shoulder-to-shoulder with Risk, Data, and Engineering teams, translating hypotheses into testable features and launching responsibly while keeping regulatory guardrails front and center.
Our client is seeking a leader who can think both commercially and technically. You’ll prioritize initiatives based on adoption potential, TAM, and customer jobs-to-be-done, run discovery sprints, and make hard calls on what to build, buy, or partner. Post-launch, you’ll assess performance, refine credit rules where relevant, and scale winners while gracefully sunsetting underperformers.
Communication and storytelling are critical: you’ll train Sales and Customer Success on product value, success metrics, and commercial rationale, ensuring adoption and retention objectives are understood across the business.
This is a chance to own the product strategy end-to-end, influencing roadmap, execution, and business outcomes while shaping the way SMEs experience financial services. It’s hands-on, high-impact, and requires someone who thrives at the intersection of market insight, data, and decision-making.
KES 200,000–350,000 + annual bonus. Figures are estimates shared by our clients and vary with your experience, interview performance, certifications, and company pay bands.
Ideal hierarchy and expected promotion cycle.
