Talent Marketing

Ranked in 2024 by the Financial Times as Africa's fastest-growing fintech, Moniepoint is trusted by over 10 million business and individual accounts, processing billions of dollars in transactions monthly. Having built resilient, high-volume financial infrastructure that powers commerce across emerging markets, Moniepoint is embarking on its next phase of global scale.

As our Senior Principal, Talent Marketing, you will be the strategic architect responsible for establishing Moniepoint's talent brand and candidate pipeline in new markets from scratch. Where Moniepoint is not yet an established consumer brand, you will solve complex talent acquisition problems by understanding how senior engineers, engineering managers, and technical leaders think, connect, and evaluate career moves across Europe. Working from a blank piece of paper with high autonomy, you will translate our global Employer Value Proposition (EVP) into localized, high-converting talent marketing strategies. You will bridge the gap between Talent Acquisition, Engineering Leadership, and Brand - combining developer community immersion, high-touch physical events, and targeted campaigns that turn brand discovery into qualified, closed engineering hires.
