Product Manager - Internal Tools and AI

About the Role

Our mission We're making Africa the first cashless continent. In 2017, over half the population in Sub-Saharan Africa had no bank account. That's for good reason—the fees are too high, the closest branch can be miles away, and nobody takes cards. Without access to financial institutions, people are forced to keep their savings under the mattress. Small business owners rely on lenders who charge extortionate rates. Parents spend hours waiting in line to pay school fees in cash. We're solving this by building financial services that just work: no account fees, instantly available, and accepted everywhere. In places where electricity, water and roads don't always work, you can still send money with Wave. In 2017, we launched a mobile app in Senegal for cash deposit, withdrawal, and peer-to-peer and business payments. Now, we have millions of users across 9 countries and are growing fast. Our goal is to make Africa the first cashless continent and that's where you come in... How you'll help us achieve it Every promise our products make to a user or merchant is kept by an internal team somewhere in the company. When those teams can organise their work, adapt quickly and stay focused, Wave moves fast; when they can’t, the company slows down and customers feel it. When we were smaller, organizing work didn’t take much more than a quick spreadsheet but that breaks at scale. Wave is now the largest financial institution in Senegal, Côte d’Ivoire, and the Gambia. We work with millions of users every month, employ thousands of people, and are growing rapidly. Similar processes now run in a dozen countries, but each team has built its own version, either because they don’t know a better one exists or because setting it up well is harder than it should be. AI has made this both better and worse: anyone can now build a workflow in an hour, but many aren’t secure, won’t scale, cost too much, or automate a process that should have been simplified first.
