At M-KOPA, We Finance Progress.
The scale and impact of our work is massive. M-KOPA is a fast-growing FinTech company offering millions of underbanked customers across Africa access to life-enhancing products and services. From our roots as the pioneer in pay-as-you-go “PayGo’” solar energy for off-grid homes, we have grown into one of the most advanced connected asset financing platforms in the world, empowering a broad range of customers to achieve progress in their lives.
About the Role
Like most businesses, M-KOPA has a significant, on-going need for analytical data. We firmly believe that the ability to convert our system data into strategic/product insights will be one of our most important competencies during our next 5+ years of growth.
Currently, there are two key groups of people involved in the analytical data landscape in the organisation. Upstream we have software engineers (primarily backend software engineers), who write and maintain the systems from where our data originates. Downstream there are analysts and BI developers. They are tasked to create reports, dashboards and operational data sets using the accessible data taken from the event streams or transactional database exports.
What is currently missing in our data systems is a function to work in the middle of M-KOPA’s backend engineers, analysts and BI developers. The creation of this position, and its supporting team, aims to solve that challenge.
You will be leading the Analytics Engineering team, who will be responsible for transforming data from M-KOPA’s transactional data systems into data sets that will be supporting analyses and sustaining routine reporting.
Your team will be working with BI developers, backend engineers, product managers and business stakeholders to understand their analytical data needs and design efficient data models for meeting them.
It is a fully Remote role, within the following time zone (UTC -1 / UTC+3) and you will report to our CTO - Owen Scott.
