The posting

ABOUT THE COMPANY

Eleving Group is a publicly listed international fintech company founded in 2012. We operate across 17 countries on three continents, offering consumer, vehicle, and smartphone financing products to millions of customers worldwide.

Mogo's mission is to enable upward social mobility for people in diverse communities around the world by providing entrepreneurs who are excluded from traditional banking systems with access to credit. By combining asset financing, fintech, AI-based underwriting, and proprietary car portals, we enable these local entrepreneurs (motorcycle taxi riders, Uber/Bolt drivers, and small business owners) to find and purchase their own vehicles.

Role Overview

The Head of Telesales & Retention owns revenue from new leads and existing customers

across the Mogo Kenya portfolio: motorcycles, cars, logbook loans, smartphones and new

products, including cash loans. The role is accountable for conversion, retention and

reactivation, and for building the machine that delivers them.

Strong day-to-day call center execution is already in place through the managers and

leads. This role sets direction, builds new teams, channels and offers, and pushes the

function to grow as the portfolio scales.

We are looking for a commercial builder: someone who has opened new sales teams,

channels and campaigns, got them hitting numbers fast, and kept pushing for the sky.

Key Responsibilities

1. Commercial Ownership

• Own conversion, 90-day retention, sleeping client reactivation and revenue targets

• Manage cost efficiency and cost per sale across the function

• Design and run agent commission and incentive schemes within the CXE

framework, subject to approval by the Head of CXE

2. Build & Launch

• Stand up new teams and channels from zero (e.g. a conversion team, scaling

WhatsApp and other non-voice sales, launching retention on new product)

• Design and launch offers and campaigns for existing customers together with

Product, Marketing and partners

• Bring the retention model to new and fast-growing products, especially

smartphones and cash loans

• Push sales and retention growth by digital and self-serve channels: app, push, in-

app offers and WhatsApp, so agents focus where a human adds value

• Run fast test cycles on scripts, offers, timing and channels, and scale what works

3. Operating Model & Playbooks

• Own how telesales works: team split, lead routing and ownership, handoffs to

Customer Care and branches, ERP rules

• Own multi-channel playbooks (calls, SMS, WhatsApp, mobile app) triggered by the

customer lifecycle

• Own channel mix and customer journeys in our engagement platform (MoEngage),

and drive requirements and adoption of sales tech: dialers (Webitel), CRM, offer

automation

• Protect lead integrity and design processes that close fraud risks

4. Team Leadership

• Lead 40+ agents through managers and leads across voice, non-voice and retention

teams

• Hire, coach and build a bench of future leaders

• Raise sales skill on the floor (scripts, objection handling) together with L&D and QA

5. Data & KPIs

• Own the KPI framework, dashboards and reporting cadence for the function

• Make sure KPIs drive the right agent behaviour and link to revenue, not just activity

• Run regular performance reviews and root-cause analysis; align QA scoring with

outcomes (dotted line to QA)

Requirements

• 6+ years in commercial roles: sales, growth, retention, or telesales / call centre

leadership

• Proven record of launching something new (a team, channel, product or campaign)

and scaling it, with numbers to show for it

• Experience leading 30+ people, directly or through managers

• Strong with data: builds own analysis in Excel or Sheets; comfortable with funnels,

cohorts and A/B tests

• Background in lending, fintech, telco, insurance, betting or BPO sales accounts.

BPO candidates: show what you built or turned around, not only what you ran

• Experience with mass-market customers in Kenya or East Africa is a strong

advantage

What We’re Looking For

• Builder and pusher: creates momentum and does not wait for permission

• Thinks in issuances, revenue, margin and cost per sale, not only calls and talk time

• Hands-on: will listen to calls, sit with agents and re-write the script

• Prefers a V1 in two weeks over a plan in two months

• Pushes teams hard and fairly; comfortable with pace and ambiguity

Reporting Line

• Reports to: Head of Customer Experience & Engagement

• Works closely with: Product, Marketing, Risk, IT, QA, L&D and Customer Care

Success in First 90 Days

• Full funnel view per team, with a weekly performance rhythm running

• At least two new initiatives launched and measured (e.g. a new team, offer or

channel)

• Measurable lift in conversion and 90-day retention

• A 12-month plan to scale retention as the portfolio grows

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
