Co-Founder Invitation
Commercial Co-Founder
Chief Growth Officer
Modern community savings for the digital age
Overview
Own growth for a mission-driven fintech bringing trusted community savings circles into a secure, transparent, mobile-first platform.
JoinSusu modernizes savings circles used by communities around the world (Susu, Esusu, Tanda, Pardner and related traditions) by replacing spreadsheets, WhatsApp threads and manual collection with a digital product built for trust, clarity and accountability. The technical founder leads product, engineering and execution; this role leads the commercial side of the company.
This is not a job posting for an employee. It is a co-founder invitation for a builder who wants ownership, impact and the chance to create a category-defining company.
What You Will Own
- Growth: User acquisition, activation, retention and revenue.
- Partnerships: Community organizations, employers, financial institutions, nonprofits and fintech ecosystem partners.

Who Will Thrive

- Clear storyteller who can win trust with users, partners, investors and future hires.
- Comfortable turning ambiguity into a focused plan, measurable goals and weekly execution.
