Job Overview

• We’re entrepreneurial by nature. We move fast, make decisions quickly and build things together. If you’re looking for a traditional corporate finance role where every task is already defined, this probably isn’t the right place for you.
• We’re looking for someone who enjoys bringing structure, solving problems and making sure things actually get done.
• This is a hands-on role supporting our operations in Kenya, Rwanda and selected regional markets. You’ll work closely with our CEO, Group CFO and local teams to strengthen financial discipline, improve operational follow-up and build better ways of working across East Africa.
• We value initiative, ownership and collaboration. We enjoy working with people who take responsibility, challenge issues constructively and are excited about building something meaningful together.

Responsibilities

• Strengthen business control across our Kenya and Rwanda operations.
• Supervise in-house accounting and improve financial discipline.
• Improve billing, receivables, inventory control and cash flow visibility.
• Coordinate with banks, auditors, tax authorities and external stakeholders.
• Improve Odoo processes, reporting and data quality.
• Support selected finance and operational activities across Sub-Saharan Africa.
• Act as a trusted operational partner for management, ensuring issues are followed through to completion.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Takes ownership and follows issues through to completion.
• Enjoys improving processes and bringing structure to busy environments.
• Has a strong foundation in accounting, finance and business control.
• Is comfortable following up across different teams and holding people accountable.
• Communicates confidently with both local and international colleagues.
• Is practical, reliable and commercially aware.
• Welcomes feedback and continuously improves the way they work.
• Doesn’t wait for work to be assigned every day but identifies issues, takes initiative and helps move things forward.
• Experience with ERP systems (especially Odoo), accounting, inventory control, receivables, reporting and cross-border operations is an advantage.

Why join Tramigo?

• This is a high-impact role where your work will directly influence how our East Africa operations perform.
• You’ll gain broad exposure to finance, operations, inventory, reporting, cross-border coordination and regional business management while working closely with an experienced international leadership team.
• For the right person, this role offers an excellent opportunity to grow as Tramigo continues to expand across Africa.
• If you’re energized by building stronger businesses, improving how things work and taking ownership in a fast-moving environment, we’d love to hear from you..
