Growth & Partnerships Executive – Francophone Africa

About the Role

 

We're looking for an ambitious, resourceful, and well-connected Growth & Partnerships Executive to help accelerate Raenest's growth in Francophone Africa.

We want someone who understands the region, knows how to find opportunities, build relationships, acquire customers, and turn ideas into results.

This is a hands-on role. You'll be connecting with people, building communities, exploring partnerships, executing campaigns, and helping more people across Francophone Africa discover what they can do with Raenest.

You'll work closely with our central growth team to identify opportunities and drive measurable results across Senegal, Benin, and Côte d'Ivoire.

Primary duties and responsibilities

• Drive customer acquisition: Find creative, cost-effective ways to attract individuals and businesses looking to receive, spend, send, invest, and grow their money globally.
• Build strategic partnerships: Identify and establish relationships with businesses, communities, creators, organisations, and platforms that can drive adoption across the region.
• Expand our reach: Identify new customer segments, distribution channels, and growth opportunities in Senegal, Benin, and Côte d'Ivoire.
• Execute local campaigns: Support grassroots marketing, referral programmes, events, community activations, and other growth initiatives.
• Drive product adoption: Help customers discover and use Raenest's available products, including global accounts, international transfers, cards, and other financial solutions.
• Activate and retain customers: Turn signups into active, transacting customers and encourage repeat usage.
• Build local relationships: Connect with influencers, community leaders, business networks, and potential distribution partners across target markets.
• Understand the market: Gather customer insights, monitor competitors, and identify local payment behaviours, challenges, and opportunities.
• Own your numbers: Track customer acquisition, activation, partnership performance, transaction growth, and other key metrics.
• Support market expansion: Help identify local opportunities, market requirements, and potential partners as Raenest expands across Francophone Africa.
  

Job Requirements

• • 2+ years of experience in growth, partnerships, business development, marketing, or sales.
  • Strong understanding of at least one of our priority markets: Senegal, Benin, or Côte d'Ivoire, with knowledge of the wider Francophone African market.
  • A natural networker who knows how to connect with people and build relationships.
  • Creative, resourceful, persistent, and comfortable working with limited resources.
  • Fluent in French with good written and spoken English.
  • Comfortable executing independently and taking ownership of results.
  • Strong commercial instincts and an ability to identify opportunities.
  • Familiarity with local digital payments, mobile money, consumer behaviour, and business communities.
  • Experience in fintech, payments, technology, telecommunications, e-commerce, or consumer products is an advantage.
  
  

We're not looking for someone with the fanciest CV. We're looking for someone who knows how to make things happen.

What Success Looks Like

• Growth in verified and actively transacting customers.
• Increased adoption of Raenest's products across different customer segments.
• Partnerships that generate measurable customer acquisition and transaction activity.
• Stronger brand awareness and community presence in Senegal, Benin, and Côte d'Ivoire.
• Consistent growth in transaction volume and repeat usage.
• New, scalable customer acquisition opportunities across Francophone Africa.
