ABOUT HIRE AFRICA

Hire Africa is building the bridge between African talent and global opportunities.

We're building a technology platform that enables businesses around the world to find, hire and manage exceptional African professionals.

Alongside our SaaS platform, we provide bespoke recruitment and managed workforce solutions to international businesses.

We're an ambitious, growing startup with a global vision, and we're looking for an exceptional Growth Manager to help take us to the next stage.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We're looking for a commercially minded, creative and data-driven Growth Manager to take ownership of Hire Africa's growth.

This is a hands-on role for someone who understands how to build demand, attract customers, increase platform adoption and turn growth into revenue.

You'll work directly with the founder to develop and execute strategies across our SaaS platform, recruitment services and managed workforce solutions.

We're not looking for someone who simply manages social media accounts or runs marketing campaigns.

We want someone who understands how businesses grow, can identify opportunities, test new approaches and turn ideas into measurable commercial results.

You'll have considerable autonomy to explore acquisition channels, build growth systems and influence the direction of the business.

Most importantly, we're looking for someone who takes ownership of outcomes.

COMPENSATION & GROWTH OPPORTUNITY

We believe exceptional performance deserves exceptional rewards.

• Significant ownership over growth strategy and execution.
