# Operations Manager

This is a rare opportunity to join a South African fintech company right at the point where everything accelerates. The business operates in the payments space, their product is live, it is gaining traction, and a major national rollout is underway. The team is lean, fast-moving, and deeply committed to building something that genuinely changes how people transact. If you have ever wanted to be part of a company where your work is visible from day one, where the founder is in the room, and where the decisions you make actually shape how the business grows, this is that role. The Operations Manager will own the physical side of the business entirely, from a manufacturer in Asia to retail shelves across South Africa, building the processes that will carry a high-growth fintech through its most critical phase yet. What's in it for you Real ownership of a critical operational function in a growing fintech business Direct access to and daily collaboration with the founder and CEO Front-row seat to a national rollout Strong future prospects, with a genuine path to a senior or executive operations role Equity eligibility considered for high performers as the business scales
