Growth Manager - US to Nigeria

Job description

LemFi (Series B) is building the go-to financial app for the Global South. Moving to a new country shouldn’t mean starting from zero. That's why our team of 400+ spanning 20+ countries is building a financial ecosystem that helps immigrants stay connected to home, build stability, and create wealth regardless of where they are from or where they live. What began as fast, affordable remittances is now evolving into a complete platform for multi-currency accounts, payments, credit, and long-term financial growth. With millions of users across the globe, we process over $1B in monthly transactions to 30+ countries, proving that borders shouldn't limit financial opportunity. ABOUT THE ROLE You'll drive LemFi's expansion across Nigerian communities in the United States. This is a growth role built on travel, community and hands-on execution. You'll spend 3 to 5 days every 2 to 3 weeks in a new US city, representing LemFi at Nigerian community events, signing up new users, arranging sponsorships and networking with Nigerian communities across the country.

WHAT YOU'LL BUILD AND OWN - Travel across the USA 3 to 5 days every 2 to 3 weeks, establishing on-the-ground presence in new cities.

You interpret data, track performance and adjust strategies accordingly. - Excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to build trust with diverse stakeholders. You're a persuasive communicator who can influence partners and leaders. - Entrepreneurial and tenacious. You take ownership, push through obstacles and find ways to win. Biased to action, you think critically and move quickly. - Self-motivated and effective working independently. You're willing to travel extensively and work occasional weekends to support market growth. NICE TO HAVE - Prior experience launching or scaling ventures in new markets. - Background in fintech, payments or diaspora-focused products. - Established network within Nigerian diaspora communities. WHY JOIN LEMFI? Love shouldn’t be expensive, yet those working hardest for their families often face predatory fees and banking exclusion. We're changing this. At LemFi, you won’t be just a cog in a machine. Whether designing products, scaling operations, or telling our story, you’ll tackle complex challenges with real, immediate impact. Your work goes beyond metrics - it puts money back in families’ pockets and offers access to the previously excluded.
