Manager – Credit Strategy & Operations

• Own acquisition credit strategy end-to-end: who we approve, how much credit they get, how it is priced, how the product is structured, and the expected profitability of those decisions.
• Be a thought partner: collaborate closely with Product, Commercial, Growth, Engineering, and Finance to keep credit strategy aligned with business milestones.
• Build and run the monitoring and learning loop: dashboards, controls, and automated triggers that show how policies and the portfolio are performing; experiments and impact assessments; and timely corrective action when performance deviates from plan.
• Lead fraud and data verification strategy and ops team: the rules and detection processes that stop fraud at acquisition, and the day-to-day running of the team.

This role directly shapes how Apollo Agriculture serves small-scale farmers across Africa, enabling them to access financing and resources to boost profits and farm sustainably, thereby contributing to poverty alleviation and sustainable agriculture.

• 4–7 years of experience in credit, risk, strategy, analytics, or product roles, ideally within financial services or consulting — including exposure to credit or lending risk.
• Exceptional analytical ability, including SQL and dashboard tools.
• Experience collaborating deeply across functions, influencing without formal authority, and leading and developing teams in fast-paced, high-growth environments.
• Strong communication skills and hands-on experience with AI tools.

• A mission-driven role with the opportunity to shape how Apollo acquires and serves small-scale farmers across its markets.
• High ownership and the chance to work closely with senior leaders, with tangible impact on credit and commercial outcomes.
• A competitive compensation and benefits package.
• A collaborative, supportive culture that values autonomy, honesty, transparency, and respect.
