Growth Manager SafeBoda

Who we are:
At SafeBoda we believe that everyone in African cities should have access to affordable services at a click of a button. Our platform is carefully designed to meet the needs of African consumers as a one-stop shop for transportation, payments, and on-demand services. While motorcycle taxis serve as the lifeblood of many cities in Africa, they are extremely unsafe and disorganized. Our safe, convenient, transportation platform provides for Africa’s booming young population as well as creates community and stability for our rider fleet. Our payments and on-demand services empower our users to transfer money, pay bills and deliver packages instantly from the comfort of their homes.
Operational in Uganda, we are a venture-funded Series B company that is already having a huge impact on millions of people in Africa. Our backers include Google, Unbound, GoVentures (GoJek’s VC), AllianzX, Yamaha, and Beenext, among others. We have a passionate and highly engaged team of superstars based in East and West Africa. Together we aim to revolutionise transport and payments delivery in Africa’s cities.

Innovation – we challenge the status quo and believe that positive change is possible. We bring solutions that constantly require us to think out of the box.
Transparency – We are open-minded in what we do. We have candor and share our experiences openly without fear of judgment. We love feedback on our product and our performance so that we can improve every day.
Safety – if we don’t care about safety ourselves, then how can we change our industry for the better?
Trust – we expect customers to trust our drivers and entrepreneurs, so we need to trust one another in everything we do.
Integrity – We hold ourselves to the highest standard and we are accountable for our actions. We deliver what we say we will deliver.
