Job Description

Our client is a technology company solving payments problems for businesses. Their mission is to help businesses in Africa become profitable, envied, and loved. They provide a suite of products to help businesses accept payments online and offline, manage their operations, and grow their business. Our client is driven by a commitment to excellence, innovation, and customer satisfaction.

Our client is hiring a Product Marketer based in Lagos, Nigeria, to own go-to-market strategy, product storytelling, and user adoption across our client’s suite of products, from business tools to consumer experiences.

You’ll work closely with product managers, designers, engineers, and brand storytellers to craft compelling product narratives, bring new features to market, and drive sustained growth across key segments. This is a hands-on, cross-functional role focused primarily on product marketing.

Why this role matters

Our client builds for a wide range of users: developers, business owners, and everyday consumers. To earn trust and drive adoption, we need to tell clear, resonant stories about what we’re building, and why it matters. This role will help them do that, while also identifying strategic channels that get their products into the hands of the right people.
