General Manager - Africa | Full Time | Lagos / Cape Town / Nairobi

About Us

Due is building a new payments platform that leverages the latest advancements in blockchain tech / crypto. Today business and consumer payments are dominated by an oligopoly of card schemes working on top of a legacy banking system. We want to challenge this status quo and build a stack of payment solutions, that would allow for permissionless, self-sovereign, global and frictionless payments.

A lot of the things we are building are experimental and haven’t yet been adopted by retail customers or businesses. Our job is to build the best product based on the latest tech and bring adoption both on the consumer and merchant side of payments.

Due is a London-based company founded in Sep 2022 with fresh Seed funding from top-tier crypto and fintech investors. We are building our operations in Africa markets and looking for a General Manager to lead our efforts in the region.
