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.
