Workplace Officer

We are looking for a Workplace Officer to join our Workplaces team; as we scale up and drive digital and financial inclusion across our markets.

The Role

The Workplace Officer runs the day-to-day operational engine behind M-KOPA Nigeria's workplace services, fleet and transport, local travel, warehouse and territory facilities, inventory, vendor coordination, airtime/data administration, and event logistics. You'll report to the Senior Lead, Workplaces, and be the person who keeps records accurate, issues resolved, and risks flagged before they become problems.

About Us

M-KOPA has just hit a major milestone: 10 million customers across Kenya, Uganda, Nigeria, Ghana, and South Africa. We've extended over $2 billion in credit to Africa's "Every Day Earners," with 55% of our customers accessing formal financial services for the first time. Behind that scale sits a workforce of 2,300+ employees and 35,000+ field agents, all supported by teams like Workplaces, whose job is to make sure the infrastructure people rely on every day simply works.

This is a on-site role , you would be working from our offices in Nigeria , partnering with a diverse group of employees from our different markets and locations across the UK, Europe and Africa. You will be reporting to the Senior Lead, Workplaces.

What makes this different

This isn't a narrow admin function. You'll own multiple operational disciplines at once, coordinating across internal teams and external vendors rather than sitting in a single lane. Your work directly determines whether the Senior Lead can focus on governance and higher-risk priorities instead of firefighting. It's ownership with real visibility.

What You'll Be Doing

• Manage day-to-day fleet administration, including documentation, permits, insurance, claims, fuel cards, and reconciliations.

• Run facilities operations across the warehouse and territory locations, coordinating cleaning, maintenance, repairs, and vendor follow-up.

• Coordinate local travel and accommodation, keeping arrangements accurate and within approved budgets.

• Own inventory management for workplace and warehouse supplies, including stock checks and discrepancy investigations.

• Manage vendor coordination, purchase orders, invoices, and payment follow-ups with Procurement and Finance.

• Process and reconcile airtime and data allocation for employee and field populations

• Coordinate logistics for meetings, employee events, and workplace activities.

What You'll Need

• Bachelor's degree or HND in Business Administration, Operations Management, Facilities Management, Logistics, or a related discipline.

• 3-5 years' relevant experience in workplace operations, facilities, administration, logistics, or office management.

• Demonstrated experience independently managing multiple operational workstreams across internal teams and external vendors, ideally spanning fleet, facilities, travel, inventory, and events.

The honest part

You'll be juggling several live workstreams at once, with vendors, deadlines, and trackers all competing for attention on any given day. It's a role for someone who closes loops without needing to be chased, and who's comfortable in Excel and in motion.
