We are looking for dynamic, street-smart Business Unit Leads to drive adoption of our Pay-As-You-Go (PAYGO) refrigeration and solar solutions across key regions. The ideal candidate is a natural leader with experience in below-the-line (BTL) activation, agent network growth, and collections — ideally from fintech platforms like OPay, Moniepoint, PalmPay, or FairMoney.

This is a boots-on-the-ground role: you will be the mini-CEO of your territory — responsible for generating demand, managing field teams, and ensuring portfolio health.

Drive Demand Generation:

  • Activate markets (especially open markets, high-footfall zones) through direct engagement and tailored activations.
  • Build relationships with small business owners (e.g. market women, frozen food sellers, salons, bars).
  • Organize market storms, demos, POS marketing, and referral drives.

Team Leadership & Sales Management:

  • Hire, train, and manage a team of field agents and sales reps.
  • Track performance using sales dashboards and reporting tools.
  • Ensure every agent is delivering weekly and monthly KPIs.

Customer Acquisition & Conversion:

  • Identify and onboard qualified customers for our Koolbuy product range.
  • Monitor conversion funnel: lead → demo → sign-up → first payment.
  • Set up lead capture and follow-up workflows with telesales team.

Collections & Portfolio Health:

  • Ensure timely repayments by customers through strong follow-up systems.
  • Reduce default rates by embedding early education and support systems.
  • Collaborate with customer service and credit teams to resolve issues quickly.

Brand Representation:

  • Be the face of Koolbuy in your city — hosting activations, community events, and partner forums.
  • Provide feedback to HQ on market trends, pricing sensitivities, and competitor movements.

Requirements:

  • 3–5 years’ experience in field sales, agent management, or fintech like OPay, Moniepoint, Fairmoney, etc.
  • Strong knowledge of market dynamics and consumer behavior in informal sectors.
  • Fluent in English and the local language of the assigned region.
  • Proven ability to lead teams, hit targets, and work under pressure.
  • Familiarity with POS payments, customer onboarding, and collections.
