  • Full-time
  • Latvia

SUN FINANCE is a Riga-based fintech company providing financial services across four continents. Founded in 2017, we’ve grown beyond the startup phase—but we’ve kept its energy and innovation, now strengthened by stability and a great work environment. Our success-driven team thrives on collaboration, ambition, and shared growth. And we’re not slowing down.

As part of our continued growth, we are expanding into a new business direction — a phone financing operation in Uganda. As we enter this next phase, we are looking for an experienced and hands-on expatriate Operations Manager to lead daily operations, establish efficient processes, drive execution excellence, and support the company's continued growth.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced operator who enjoys building structure, improving performance, and scaling operations in a rapidly expanding business backed by a large established international company. Join us and be part of what’s next!
