Head of Design (Marketing)

Who we are: Mama Money is a growth-stage fintech startup working to help migrant workers in South Africa send money home. Since 2015, we have been providing reliable remittances, at a socially fair price, to those who need it most. Mama HQ is in beautiful Cape Town, South Africa. We are 150 people strong (and counting) from 19 countries across Africa, Asia, the UK, and Europe. Our culture is built around the well-being of our team members and making a difference in our communities. “Just be lekker!” personifies our approach to work: we trust the wisdom of our talented and diverse team to do what is best for our customers and get the job done responsibly, without pedantic policies.  We’ve been around since 2015 and have earned a few accolades along the way, made some new friends, and expanded our reach. We've had some great times and some tough times, but we continue to focus on helping people and making things easier for our customers.  Mama Money is evolving from a remittance service into a full-service financial ecosystem where customers can send, manage, and grow their money with confidence. As part of this evolution, we’re looking for a strategic, operationally strong, and creatively driven Head of Design to build and elevate our design function. Your mission is to ensure that design becomes a key driver of customer trust, brand consistency, and commercial impact across the business. Reporting to the Head of Digital & Marketing, you will lead a growing team of designers, manage agencies and production partners, and work closely with marketing, product, and operations to ensure design excellence across all customer touchpoints.
