Internal Audit Manager

M-KOPA•South Africa

WE ARE LOOKING FOR AN INTERNAL AUDIT MANAGER TO JOIN OUR LEGAL GROUP, AS WE SCALE UP AND DRIVE DIGITAL AND FINANCIAL INCLUSION ACROSS OUR MARKETS. YOUR FINDINGS REACH THE BOARD. YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS RESHAPE RISK POSTURE. THAT IS WHAT AUDIT LOOKS LIKE AT M-KOPA. M-KOPA has unlocked more than $2 billion in credit across Kenya, Uganda, Nigeria, Ghana, and South Africa — serving seven million customers, 86% of whom report an improved quality of life, and 55% of whom are accessing a financial product for the first time. We are building toward ten million, and we need an audit function that is genuinely ahead of that growth, not behind it WHAT THIS ROLE INVOLVES You will operate at the strategic layer of internal audit, working closely with the Head of Internal Audit & Risk. You will own the risk-based audit plan across five markets, take personal responsibility for high-risk and cross-market engagements end-to-end, and present findings directly to Country Heads, ExCo, and the Board Audit Committee. This is not a role where your output gets filtered before it reaches leadership. Your risk intelligence will directly inform governance decisions. Beyond audit execution, you will champion the integration of data analytics, AI tooling, and modern audit platforms into how the function operates — driving efficiency, improving coverage, and building capability within the team through coaching and knowledge transfer. You will also contribute meaningfully to the Enterprise Risk Management Framework: tracking KRIs, supporting Board-level risk reporting, and participating in cross-functional risk reviews spanning operational, regulatory, and reputational workstreams. WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT Most senior audit roles offer either scale or agility — rarely both. M-KOPA operates across five regulatory environments with the complexity of a genuine multi-market enterprise and the decision-making speed of a business still in a growth phase. Your judgment carries weight here. The governance infrastructure you help build protects customers who, for many, have their first formal financial product through M-KOPA. WHAT YOU BRING CIA, CPA, and/or CISA certification, with a proven track record in internal audit, risk, and compliance across financial services or a similarly regulated environment — demonstrating clear progression from execution into advisory and governance influence. Deep expertise across both business process and IT audit, with working knowledge of SOX/ICFR frameworks — and established credibility advising senior stakeholders on control design and remediation, not only reporting on findings. Demonstrable experience applying data analytics, audit management platforms, or AI-enabled tools to strengthen audit coverage and build team capability in these approaches. WHY M-KOPA? At M-KOPA, we empower our people to own their careers through diverse development programs, coaching partnerships, and on-the-job training. We support individual journeys with family-friendly policies, prioritize well-being, and embrace flexibility. Join us in shaping the future of M-KOPA as we grow together. Explore more at m-kopa.com. Recognized four times by the Financial Times as one Africa's fastest growing companies (2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026) and by TIME100 Most influential companies in the world 2023 and 2024 , we've served over 7 million customers, unlocking $1.5 billion in cumulative credit for the unbanked across Africa. Important Notice M-KOPA is an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer committed to assembling a diverse, broadly trained staff. Women, minorities, and people with disabilities are strongly encouraged to apply. M-KOPA explicitly prohibits the use of Forced or Child Labour and respects the rights of its employees to agree to terms and conditions of employment voluntarily, without coercion, and freely terminate their employment on appropriate notice. M-KOPA shall ensure that its Employees are of legal working age and shall comply with local laws for youth employment or student work, such as internships or apprenticeships. M-KOPA does not collect/charge any money as a pre-employment or post-employment requirement. This means that we never ask for ‘recruitment fees’, ‘processing fees’, ‘interview fees’, or any other kind of money in exchange for offer letters or interviews at any time during the hiring process. Applications for this position will be reviewed on a rolling basis. Shortlisting and interviews will take place at any stage during the recruitment process. We reserve the right to close the vacancy early if a suitable candidate is selected before the advertised closing date. If your application is successful M-KOPA undertakes pre-employment background checks as part of its recruitment process, these include; criminal records, identification verification, academic qualifications, employment dates and employer references.
