Lead Engineer - AI Agents

WHO WE ARE Moniepoint is Africa's all-in-one financial ecosystem, empowering businesses and their customers with seamless payment, banking, credit, and management tools. In 2023, we processed $182 billion and are Nigeria’s largest merchant acquirer. JOB PURPOSE Builds and owns the Group's FP&A framework, methodology, and reporting standards, giving Group leadership a single, reliable view of financial performance and outlook across the Group's subsidiaries and business units: Moniepoint Nigeria, Moniepoint Kenya, MonieWorld and Moniepoint Technologies. This is a framework and consolidation role, not a day to day business unit finance role. Some subsidiaries and markets run their own standalone FP&A team that owns local budgeting, forecasting, and reporting for that business; this role sets the Group standard those teams work within and consolidates their output. Wherever a subsidiary or shared function doesn't yet have a dedicated FP&A resource, this role covers it directly. The intent is one Group framework, executed locally wherever a local team exists, with no duplicated effort. Curious about what makes Moniepoint an incredible place to work? Check out posts on how we cultivate a culture of innovation, teamwork, and growth. RESPONSIBILITIES: * Design and own the Group's FP&A framework: forecasting architecture, budget process, and management-reporting standards that every entity works to, including markets that maintain their own standalone FP&A team * Consolidate entity and BU-level forecasts, including those submitted by markets with their own standalone FP&A team, into a single Group P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow, with a working currency toggle and intercompany eliminations * Own the annual Group budget calendar and process: templates, timelines, challenge sessions, and Board approval, without taking over the local budget-building work each entity's own finance team already does * Produce the consolidated Group forecast (2026-28 and beyond), reconciled monthly to actuals, with a clear bridge explaining variances * Work closely with the Group Financial Controller so actuals, the consolidation, and the forecast reconcile cleanly month to month, and closing timelines support the reporting calendar * Run the monthly and quarterly reporting cycles at Group level: consolidated management accounts, Board packs, and investor-grade reporting * Build and maintain the Group's KPI and unit-economics framework, and ensure it is applied consistently across every entity's finance team, whether that entity has its own dedicated resource or is covered directly by this role * Partner with BU CFOs / finance leads (Moniepoint Nigeria, Moniepoint Kenya, Moniepoint Technologies, MonieWorld) as the standard-setter and consolidator, leaving day-to-day local execution with them * Lead scenario and sensitivity modelling for Group-level strategic decisions: new market entry, capital raises, new market expansion, licence applications etc. * Set and enforce FP&A style and modelling standards across the Group (structure, formatting, sign-off, version control) * Manage and develop the Group FP&A Analysts covering the subsidiaries and markets without a dedicated resource, plus central shared services CANDIDATE REQUIREMENTS: * 8-10+ years in FP&A, corporate finance, or investment banking, including experience building forecasting frameworks from scratch * Proven experience consolidating multi-entity, multi-currency forecasts and management accounts * Background in banking, fintech, or another regulated, fast-growth environment * Advanced financial modelling skills (Excel at architect level); comfortable owning a model spanning multiple entities and currencies ACA / ACCA / CFA or equivalent * Proven ability to operate effectively as a remote, senior finance leader across time zones and geographies PREFFERED QUALIFICATIONS * Experience in a high-growth African or emerging-markets fintech or bank * Prior exposure to Board and investor reporting at Group level * Familiarity with planning/consolidation tooling (NetSuite, Aleph, Pigment or similar) beyond Excel * Experience standing up FP&A functions or frameworks during a scale-up phase, including defining where a Group function ends and in-country teams begin ABOUT YOU * You think in frameworks. You build the system once, properly, rather than patching it every quarter * You're comfortable holding a multi-entity, multi-currency picture in your head and explaining it simply to the CFO and Board * You know the difference between setting the standard and doing the work. You'd rather make each market's FP&A team excellent within a shared framework than take their work off them * You push back on numbers that don't reconcile, and you don't sign off until they do * You're a strong people manager. You can direct analysts and get consistent, house-standard output from a small team * You communicate in writing the way you model: structured, precise, no padding * You operate well remotely: proactive, well-organised, comfortable driving a Group-wide process without being in the room WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE * Group forecast is reconciled to actuals monthly, with variances explained within an agreed tolerance * Management, board and investor reporting are delivered on time, every cycle, without late-stage rework * Budget process runs to a fixed calendar with BU sign-off, with no material off-cycle changes * BU finance leads use the Group model and house standards as their working framework, not a parallel one * CFO and Group CEO treat the FP&A output as the single source of truth for decision-making WHAT TO EXPECT IN THE HIRING PROCESS * A preliminary phone call with one of our recruiters. * Hiring Manager Interview  * A Panel interview with existing Finance Leads * A behavioural and technical interview with a member of the Executive team.
