Finance Manager

At Payourse, we’re passionate about accelerating access to crypto for Africans by providing tools that make it easier, faster and cheaper for businesses to build user-friendly crypto products. We are hiring a Finance Manager to join our team.

Before this, we built Coinprofile. Which is a major use case for our infrastructure, with thousands of transactions monthly.

Our mission is to make crypto more useful for Africans by making the tools and infrastructure we used to build Coinprofile, more readily available to other businesses that want to build on crypto.
