About The Position
LemFi (Series B) is building the go-to financial app for the Global South. Moving to a new country shouldn’t mean starting from zero. That's why our team of 400+ spanning 20+ countries is building a financial ecosystem that helps immigrants stay connected to home, build stability, and create wealth regardless of where they are from or where they live. What began as fast, affordable remittances is now evolving into a complete platform for multi-currency accounts, payments, credit, and long-term financial growth. With millions of users across the globe, we process over $1B in monthly transactions to 30+ countries, proving that borders shouldn't limit financial opportunity. Head of Growth – Anglophone Africa We are looking for a Head of Growth to own and scale growth across Anglophone African corridors (including Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, and other priority markets) while also driving expansion across Europe, the US, Canada, and the UK, targeting the English-speaking African diaspora.
