We are looking for a Customer Care Representative to join our Customer Care department; as we scale up and drive digital and financial inclusion across our markets.

About M-KOPA

M-KOPA is a pan-African fintech on a mission to make financial inclusion real — not theoretical. We've unlocked over $2 billion in credit, connected 7 million customers to life-changing products, and built a business where 55% of customers are accessing financial services for the very first time. With 2,300+ employees across Kenya, Uganda, Nigeria, Ghana, and South Africa, we're not slowing down. We're scaling.

Role Overview

Based hybrid in Lagos and reporting to the Customer Care Team Leader, the Customer Care Representative is the voice of M-KOPA for millions of Nigerian customers. This isn't a passive call-handling role ; it's the frontline of financial inclusion, where every resolved query represents real impact in someone's life.

This is a hybrid role, you would be working from our offices in Nigeria, partnering with a diverse group of employees from our different markets and locations across the UK, Europe and Africa. You will be reporting to the Customer Care Team Lead.

What Makes This Different

Most customer care roles measure you on call volume. This one measures you on lives changed. When a customer calls M-KOPA, they may be navigating their first-ever financial product. Your ability to resolve their issue on the first call doesn't just protect satisfaction scores — it builds the trust that keeps financial inclusion moving forward.

What You'll Do

• Receive, manage, and resolve customer inquiries via phone — owning each interaction end-to-end, from first contact through resolution or escalation, while ensuring every customer leaves the call with clarity and confidence.

• Maintain accurate, meticulous records of all customer interactions in M-KOPA's systems, contributing to the quality data that drives service improvements across the business.

• Educate customers on M-KOPA products and processes, turning questions into understanding and empowering customers to get the most out of what they've invested in.
  

What You'll Need

• Demonstrable experience in a customer-facing or call-handling environment, with a genuine track record of resolving difficult customer issues calmly and effectively.

• Proven competency with Microsoft Office and comfort navigating digital systems because accurate documentation is as important as the conversation itself.

• A customer-first mindset that doesn't flinch when things get complex; you escalate when needed, but you exhaust every option to resolve first.

The Honest Part

This is a high-volume, on-site role in Lagos. You'll be handling real customer issues — some routine, some not — and the expectation is first-call resolution wherever possible. It demands consistency, patience, and attention to detail every single day. If you're someone who finds energy in solving problems for people who genuinely need help, you'll find this role more rewarding than most.
