Job Description:

We are looking for a highly motivated and results-driven Portfolio Growth Officer to join our team. As a Portfolio Growth Officer, your primary role will be to convert inactive merchant accounts and unused credit capacity into a healthy, revenue-generating portfolio. Success requires more than contacting merchants or completing one-off drawdowns. The Officer must rebuild engagement, support genuine financing needs, encourage repeat usage, and maintain acceptable repayment quality.

Roles and Responsibilities:

  • Own assigned zero-utilised, dormant, suspended, underutilised and growth-potential merchants as the primary relationship manager.
  • Diagnose inactivity by reviewing each merchant’s business condition, financing needs, facility usage, repayment history, restrictions and previous engagement.
  • Prioritise commercially viable merchants and execute reactivation plans that drive first drawdown, repeat usage and sustainable utilisation.
  • Conduct targeted field visits to verify businesses, rebuild relationships and resolve issues requiring physical intervention.
  • Coordinate with Retention, Operations, Credit and Risk to resolve KYC, documentation, repayment-instrument and account-restriction blockers.
  • Manage early-stage repayments, escalate delinquency under approved DPD rules and suspend utilisation activity where credit concerns exist.
  • Maintain accurate portfolio records, protect merchant information and prevent token drawdowns, artificial inactivity resets and control breaches.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree or HND in Business, Finance, Economics, Marketing or a related discipline.
  • At least 3 years experience in relationship management, field sales, SME lending, portfolio management or financial services.
  • Good understanding of merchant businesses, working-capital cycles, customer activation and repayment management.
  • Demonstrated ability to diagnose customer problems, manage objections and convert opportunities into measurable commercial outcomes.
  • Strong communication, negotiation, relationship-management and field-execution skills.
  • Ability to use Excel, CRM systems and performance trackers accurately.
  • Willingness to travel regularly and work across assigned commercial territories.

Performance will be assessed through:

  • Reactivation of zero-utilised and dormant merchants.
  • First and repeat drawdown conversion.
  • Sustainable growth in utilised balances and collected revenue.
  • Repayment quality following reactivation.
  • Speed and quality of blocker resolution.
  • Reduction in repeated inactivity across the assigned portfolio.
  • Accuracy of records, field productivity and compliance with approved controls.

Benefits

  • Private Health Insurance
  • Performance Bonus
  • Pension Plan
  • Training & Development

Recruitment Process:

  • A screening call with a member of the recruitment team for 30 minutes.
  • Technical interview with the hiring manager for 30 to 60 minutes.

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.
