Description

JOB DETAILS:
At Ezy Agric, we’re redefining agriculture in Africa’s multi-billion-dollar industry by delivering innovative solutions—Agro-inputs, financial services, and market access—to farmers and merchants. As one of the continent’s fastest-growing AgTech startups, we’ve doubled our revenue and scaled our user base 10X since 2019. Now, we’re looking for a bold Finance Manager to steer our financial strategy and fuel our next phase of growth.
Reporting directly to the CEO, you’ll lead our Finance team, collaborate with leadership, and engage with investors and the board. If you’re a strategic thinker who thrives in a fast-paced startup, loves a challenge, and is passionate about driving financial success, this is your shot to shape the future of agriculture with us.
What You’ll Do
As Finance Manager, you’ll be the financial heartbeat of Ezy Agric, ensuring we stay agile, profitable, and ready to scale. Your key responsibilities include:
• Lead the Finance Team: Oversee budgeting, financial modelling, audits, tax compliance, and monthly management accounts to keep our finances rock-solid.
• Drive Strategy: Partner with the CEO and management to set short- and long-term financial goals, forecast key metrics, and optimize user growth, revenue, and profitability (think LTV/CAC ratios).
• Fuel Growth: Manage cash flow, investments, and assets to ensure we’ve always got the runway to operate and expand.
• Raise Funds: Work with leadership to craft fundraising materials (e.g., financial models), lead due diligence, negotiate deals, and secure equity, grants, or debt.
• Strengthen Governance: Support investor relations with timely reporting and uphold compliance (URA, NSSF, etc.) while advising on policies and risk management.
• Build Systems: Design lean, cost-effective financial processes—think accounting, payments, and reporting—that power our growth without slowing us down.
• Tell the Story: Turn numbers into insights with compelling reports for management, directors, and shareholders, guiding smart decisions.
• Inspire the Team: Supervise and mentor the Finance team, fostering their growth while contributing to company-wide problem-solving as a key management player.
Who You Are
You’re a resilient, forward-thinking leader who sees opportunity in every challenge and thrives in a dynamic startup environment. To excel, you’ll bring:
• Education & Skills: A degree in finance, accounting, or a related field (CPA/ACCA is a plus), with strong chops in budgeting, forecasting, and financial modelling.
• Experience: Proven success in financial management, ideally in a startup or growth-focused setting, with a knack for risk assessment and mitigation.
• Mindset: Strategic, agile, and innovative—you’re a big-picture thinker with a sharp eye for detail and a moral compass to match.
• Superpowers: A storyteller with numbers, a builder of lean systems, and a jack-of-all-trades ready to wear multiple hats.
• Passion: You love a challenge, stay optimistic under pressure, and are driven to grow a business that transforms lives.
Why Join Ezy Agric?
• Impact: Shape the financial backbone of a startup revolutionizing agriculture across Africa.
• Growth: Lead in a company doubling revenue and scaling fast—your career will soar as we do.
• Challenge: Thrive in a turbulent, exciting environment where your vision and grit make a difference.
• Team: Join a bold, collaborative crew that values innovation, results, and operational excellence.
