Description
Eleving Group mission is to enable upward social mobility for people in diverse communities around the world by providing entrepreneurs who are excluded from traditional banking systems, access to credit. By combining asset financing, fintech, AI-based underwriting, and proprietary car portals we enable these local entrepreneurs (motorcycle taxi riders, Uber/Bolt drivers, and small business owners) to find and purchase their own vehicles.
This is a rare opportunity to launch and build Eleving Group’s business in Tanzania, one of our most exciting and fast-growing emerging markets.

- Recruit, develop, and lead a high-performing local team while shaping a strong and collaborative company culture
- Identify and drive business development opportunities, build strategic partnerships, and expand our customer base
- Serve as the key link between the local business and Eleving Group HQ, ensuring alignment and knowledge sharing
What We’re Looking For:
- Proven leadership experience in a country or general management role, ideally in financial services, mobility, fintech, or other fast-paced industries

- Strategic mindset, ability to translate market insights into actionable commercial strategies
- Demonstrated success in building and leading high-performance teams
