Manager - Corporate Finance

Key Responsibilities

Investor Materials & Fundraising Support

Build and maintain the investor deck — structure the narrative, build the charts, and keep every figure tied back to the model. Produce tailored materials for specific investor conversations, including teasers, one-pagers, and follow-up analyses. Prepare responses to investor diligence questions, coordinating inputs from across the business.

Dataroom Management

Own the investor dataroom end to end: structure, contents, version control, access permissions, and audit trail. Keep the room current as the business evolves, and track what has been shared with whom and when. Apply judgement on staging — what is appropriate to share at each point in a process.

Board Reporting

Prepare the board pack: performance against plan, KPI dashboards, variance commentary, and supporting analysis. Run the production timeline — chase contributors, consolidate inputs, manage review cycles, and circulate on schedule. Track and follow up on board and committee action items.

MIS & Performance Reporting

Own the business MIS, keeping the reporting pack that tracks key business metrics accurate and current on a defined cycle. Pull and reconcile data from finance, product, and operations systems, maintaining a single source of truth for the headline numbers used in investor, board, and internal reporting. Explain movements in the metrics rather than only reporting them, and flag emerging issues early. Improve reporting over time — automate manual steps, tighten metric definitions, and shorten each close cycle.

Financial Modelling

Maintain and extend the group financial model: actuals updates, forecast refreshes, scenario and sensitivity analysis. Build unit economics and cohort analysis for lending and card products across markets. Keep the model clean, documented, and auditable — someone else should be able to pick it up and follow it.

Secondary Research & Market Analysis

Run secondary research on markets, products, competitors, and regulation using publicly available sources. Find, assess, and cite credible sources — central bank and regulator publications, World Bank and Findex data, GSMA and industry reports, scheme and switch disclosures, competitor filings, news, and trade press. Size market opportunities where the question calls for it (for example, the addressable opportunity for a card business in Rwanda), triangulating from multiple sources and comparable markets. Turn research into a short, decision-ready output: what was found, what it means, what has been assumed, and how confident the conclusion is.

Cross-Functional Coordination

Coordinate between finance, product, credit, commercial, ops, and legal to gather what investor and board material requires.

Commercial & Contract Support

Read and summarise routine commercial documents — NDAs, MOUs, LOIs, and term sheets. Support the legal team. Drafting and negotiation are not expected, but knowing what you are looking at and when to raise a hand is.

Qualifications

Required

CFA Level 2 or above, or CA, or ACCA, or MBA. 2–5 years in investment banking, transaction services or advisory at a Big 4 firm, private equity or venture capital, corporate finance, or a strategic finance / FP&A seat at a growth-stage company. A degree in finance, accounting, economics, engineering, or a comparable quantitative discipline.

Good To Have Skills

Prior exposure to fintech, lending, payments, or cards — particularly in African or other emerging markets. Experience supporting a live fundraise, due diligence process, or M&A transaction.
