We’re looking for someone analytical, curious, and independent who will figure out how to run experiments to accelerate Wave’s growth across all our markets. This is a leadership role with substantial individual-contributor expectations. You’ll lead a team of 2 engineers and 1-2 data analysts.

You’ll be responsible for:

• Designing and running experiments with the goal of accelerating Wave’s growth across all the countries where we operate
• Optimizing our growth strategies through a deep and analytical understanding of our business
• Managing experiments in rapid iteration cycles, whereby you gather more feedback and reach more people
• Building data models and analyzing operational data in order to draw conclusions that drive sustainable scaling up of operations
• Working from first principles to understand blockers to our growth and prioritizing the biggest opportunities for enabling Wave’s growth and impact.
• Analysing retention to understand how retention is doing as a whole in the Wave product, how it has evolved over time, and identify opportunities to improve it
• Document key growth learnings from both the quantitative and qualitative analyses and align the Wave team on the same growth strategy understanding

Key Details

• Location: Remote
• Travel: Plan to travel 10-25% of the time to operating markets
• You can work remotely from anywhere (between UTC -5 and +4) with reliable Internet access.
• Our salaries are competitive and are calculated using a transparent formula, depending on your level of experience and location. We run performance reviews twice a year and award bonuses or promotions to strong performers who have been with the company for more than six months
• Major benefits:
  • Subsidized health insurance for you and your dependents and retirement contributions (both vary from country to country)

• Are intellectually curious, creative in the way you go about tackling problems and embrace failure as a means to improvement
• Are great at coordinating across teams and excel at communicating across multiple countries and cultures.
• Are excited about travel — you’ll be working closely with our teams in Senegal, Cote d’Ivoire, and other countries in Africa, and some travel will be important
• Bonus points if you:
  • Have experience leading growth for B2C products in Africa
  • Have previously worked in French
