Who we are
Moniepoint is Africa's all-in-one financial ecosystem, empowering businesses and their customers with seamless payment, banking, credit, and management tools. In 2023, we processed $182 billion and are Nigeria's largest merchant acquirer.
About the role
The Head of Credit Risk Management is responsible for ensuring the implementation of top-tier credit underwriting policies aimed at minimizing credit risk and non-performing loans.

Candidates must demonstrate expertise in credit underwriting processes, possessing a profound understanding of their underlying principles and objectives. Additionally, they should exhibit creativity, critical thinking skills, and the ability to innovate and streamline the underwriting process effectively.

Our approach prioritizes improvement based on merit rather than conformity to conventional practices. It is imperative for candidates to possess a thorough comprehension of credit assessment, supported by factual evidence and data-driven insights.

Furthermore, fostering a collaborative relationship with credit business leaders is crucial. Rather than adopting an adversarial stance, the Head of Credit Risk Management should strive for a supportive partnership to facilitate the growth of a robust and high-performing loan portfolio, while maintaining operational speed and agility.

Analytical prowess is essential, particularly in interpreting and leveraging existing credit data, which serves as a valuable repository of insights.
