MAKE IT MATTER FROM DAY ONE. [https://app.ashbyhq.com/api/images/user-content/1d985516-2a99-43c0-b591-957f5adaceb9/fc8e1600-9a27-4fdb-8ae3-6c9f8148ed33/image.png] Most internships promise experience and deliver filing. This one is different — not because we say so, but because of what M-KOPA actually does, and the scale at which we do it. M-KOPA is one of Africa's most impactful fintech companies. We've extended over $2 billion in credit to customers across the continent — people who had never accessed formal financial products before. Today, more than 7 million customers use M-KOPA products to run businesses, power their homes, and build credit histories. 86% of them report meaningful improvements in their quality of life. We've assembled over 2 million smartphones right here in Africa, and our 35,000-strong agent network stretches across communities that traditional finance has never reached. Behind every one of those outcomes is a team that keeps things running — precisely, professionally, and with genuine care. That's where you come in.

It's designed for someone at the start of their professional journey — someone with a Matric certificate, a sharp eye for detail, and the kind of drive that doesn't need much managing. You'll work across departments, supporting the administrative and operational functions that keep a fast-growing fintech company moving. You won't be shadowing from the sidelines. You'll be handling real correspondence, maintaining live records, capturing data that informs management decisions, and acting as a bridge between teams when service queries need resolution. A monthly stipend is provided for the full duration of the programme.

If you've noticed M-KOPA advertising across multiple disciplines recently, that's intentional — we're building the infrastructure to grow from 7 million customers to 10 million, and every layer of that build matters. The teams you'll support are growing. The systems you'll help maintain are scaling. The work is real, and it's happening now. This is the kind of environment where someone early in their career can develop faster than they would almost anywhere else — not because we'll put you in a classroom, but because you'll be working inside a company that moves quickly and takes its people seriously. M-KOPA is a certified B Corporation, which means our accountability extends beyond profit. It extends to our people, our customers, and our communities.

Across the 12 months, you'll be contributing to: - Office administration — managing incoming and outgoing correspondence, maintaining both physical and digital filing systems, and ensuring that information flows accurately between teams. - Data and records management — capturing and updating data on internal systems and spreadsheets, generating reports and summaries for management review, and supporting POPIA-compliant document handling. Accuracy here isn't just good practice; it protects real people's information. - Service issue resolution and general support — acting as a liaison between assigned teams and technica ...
