Responsibilities

Own the full project lifecycle: scoping, implementation design, prerequisite alignment, migration planning, build, test, cutover and stabilization.
Define migration strategy for swaps from legacy platforms (e.g. Telepin, Comviva, Amdocs, in-house) to the selected core wallet, including data migration, parallel run, fallback and customer communication plans.
Ensure the core wallet platform integrates cleanly with surrounding systems: LMS, payment gateways, card management, mobile apps, USSD/SMSC, switches, core banking, CRM, data lake, AML/fraud and regulatory reporting.
Validate non-functional requirements: performance, scalability, HA/DR, security, observability and capacity for projected transaction volumes.
Lead first-time product configuration on the core wallet platform (wallets, fees, commissions, limits, KYC tiers, agent hierarchy, GL mapping, reconciliation rules) in line with each BU's business processes.
Lead all migration and cutover activities: dry runs, data validation, customer balance reconciliation, switchover windows and rollback readiness.
Manage core wallet and third-party vendors commercially and operationally; hold them to SLAs and contractual commitments.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Information Technology, Telecommunications or equivalent (Master's or PMP desirable).
Minimum 8 years in the fintech, mobile money or digital banking industry in technology planning, delivery or implementation.
Demonstrable hands-on experience deploying or migrating core wallet platforms; experience with Telepin, Comviva, Ericsson Wallet Platform, Huawei CPS or equivalent is a strong plus.
Proven track record managing at least one end-to-end core platform deployment or supplier swap as the delivery lead, including live customer migration.
Experience working across African markets, ideally multi-country, with exposure to local regulators (central banks, telecom regulators) and OPCO operating models.
Hands-on experience with architecture and planning of adjacent mobile money components: Loan Management Solutions, payment gateways, mobile apps, card management, agent management, USSD, switches and reconciliation.
