Job description
We’re looking for a Customer Success Engineer team member who will be the first point of contact for our customers. This role is about providing exceptional support, solving issues quickly, and making sure every customer interaction reflects the trust, reliability, and care Moment stands for. You’ll be responsible for handling inquiries, troubleshooting technical and payment-related issues, managing tickets from start to finish, and escalating complex cases when needed. If you’re empathetic, resourceful, and enjoy helping people, this role is for you.
About Moment: Africa is at the cusp of an economic revolution. 1.5 billion people are embracing electronic payments, mobile everything, and racing towards a digital transformation that will change the world for the next two decades. While Internet- and banking-penetration have come late to Africa, a youth-driven tidal wave of change is hitting the continent, and global businesses and local champions are in a race to unlock its potential.
Backed by leading investors such as General Catalyst and AlphaCode Ventures, and servicing customers such as the MultiChoice Group,, the largest entertainment platform on the African continent, we are building a payment platform as ambitious as the customers we serve.
This is truly the Moment for Africa.
Our Culture: At Moment, we believe building the future is a team sport; partnership and collaboration lie at the core of everything we do. We take pride in working hard and strive to be world class every day, without forgetting to have a little fun along the way. We’re straight-talkers who prioritize speed of execution over perfection. We’re ok with uncertainty and don’t let it get in the way of making smart decisions quickly. We like to get things done.
We value diversity of thought, culture, and background and strive to build a business and work environment as vibrant as the continent we serve. Changing the lives and unlocking the ambitions of a continent isn’t for the faint of heart - but with a passion for people and a desire to make a lasting impact, we believe we can build an enormous business that also delivers good in the world.
