About Us
At Numida, we believe small businesses are the backbone of Africa’s economy. Yet millions of entrepreneurs still lack access to the financial tools they need to grow. That’s why we’re building digital financial services that unlock opportunities for African small business owners. Since 2021 we’ve delivered $120M+ in working capital to over 90,000 businesses across East Africa. Now we’re looking for a Sales Manager to help us build the team that powers this mission.
