About the Opportunity
We are looking for a results-driven Growth Manager to lead our expansion in Africa. This is a high-ownership, high-impact role sitting at the intersection of P2P marketplace operations, user acquisition, and lifecycle marketing.
You will own the full growth funnel: from acquiring new crypto users in a market where P2P remains the dominant on-ramp, to converting registrations into active traders, and implementing retention and reactivation programmes that turn occasional users into engaged, habitual ones. You will work cross-functionally with Product, Marketing, Compliance, and local Business Development to make Africa a flagship growth market.
 
What You'll Be Doing
P2P Growth & Market Development
  • Own the end-to-end P2P growth strategy for Africa including merchant recruitment, liquidity depth, and P2P order conversion rates.
  • Build and manage a network of anchor P2P merchants and high-volume traders to ensure competitive pricing and strong order fill rates.
  • Identify payment corridor gaps (EasyPaisa, JazzCash, bank transfer) and work with the product team to optimise supported payment methods.
  • Monitor market-level P2P spread trends and competitor pricing, and adapt tactics to maintain platform competitiveness.
  • Drive volume growth on the P2P orderbook through targeted merchant incentive schemes, volume-based rebates, and maker/taker promotions.
User Acquisition & Crypto Adoption
  • Develop and execute localised acquisition campaigns across digital channels (Meta, Google, TikTok, YouTube, local publishers) tailored to the African market's unique regulatory and cultural context.
  • Build a community-led growth engine — grow and activate Telegram, WhatsApp, and local crypto community channels.
  • Forge partnerships with local influencers, educators, and YouTube/TikTok crypto creators to drive organic trust and brand awareness.
  • Design referral and invite programmes calibrated to Pakistani user behaviour and cost-per-acquisition economics.
  • Track and improve key top-of-funnel metrics: new registrations, KYC completion rate, first deposit rate, and first trade rate.
Trading Behaviour Activation
  • Design and execute activation sequences (push, in-app, email, SMS) that move newly registered users from sign-up to first trade within a defined window.
  • Develop targeted trading incentive programmes: zero-fee periods, trading bonuses, spot trading competitions, and P2P merchant perks.
  • Use behavioural segmentation to identify users who have deposited but not traded, and design targeted nudges to convert them.
  • Work with the Product team to identify and remove friction points in the trading journey — onboarding, KYC, deposit, and first order placement.
  • Track activation KPIs: time-to-first-trade, deposit-to-trade conversion, and D1/D7/D30 trading rates.
Retention & Engagement
  • Build a retention playbook for the African market using lifecycle cohort analysis to identify where users drop off and designing targeted interventions.
  • Own the CRM strategy for Pakistan: personalised push notifications, in-app messages, email flows, and SMS campaigns segmented by trading behaviour.
  • Design and manage loyalty mechanics: rewards programmes, trading streaks, milestone badges, and VIP tier benefits calibrated to local user psychology.
  • Run A/B tests on messaging, timing, offer structure, and channel mix to continuously improve retention metrics.
  • Track retention KPIs: 30/60/90-day active trading rates, average sessions per week, and churn rate by cohort and segment.
Reactivation & Win-Back
  • Build and operate a structured reactivation programme targeting lapsed users, segmented by recency, frequency, and last activity type.
  • Design win-back campaigns (P2P incentives, spot bonuses, personalised outreach) tailored to why specific user segments churned.
  • Leverage local channels — WhatsApp, SMS, Telegram — for high-reach, low-cost reactivation in the African context.
  • Run time-limited reactivation offers during high-relevance moments: market volatility events, feature launches, and local promotional seasons.
  • Track reactivation KPIs: lapsed user reactivation rate, cost-per-reactivated user, and revenue from reactivated cohorts.
Analytics & Reporting
  • Own the African growth reporting: weekly and monthly dashboards covering acquisition, activation, retention, and revenue metrics.
  • Conduct regular cohort analysis to understand user quality by acquisition channel, campaign, and time period.
  • Translate data insights into clear recommendations for senior stakeholders and product roadmap input.
  • Maintain a structured experimentation backlog — hypothesis-driven A/B tests with clear success metrics and learnings.
 
What We Look For In You
  • 5+ years of experience in growth marketing, user acquisition, or lifecycle marketing, preferably at a crypto exchange, fintech, or P2P marketplace.
  • Deep, hands-on understanding of P2P crypto trading mechanics: orderbooks, spreads, merchant dynamics, and payment corridor operations in Africa.
  • Demonstrable track record of growing a crypto or fintech user base, with specific examples of acquisition, activation, and retention outcomes.
  • Strong command of CRM and lifecycle tooling (Braze, CleverTap, OneSignal, or equivalent) and ability to build segmented campaign flows independently.
  • Data fluency: comfortable working with dashboards (Tableau, Looker, Metabase) and conducting cohort and funnel analysis.
  • Deep familiarity with Pakistan's digital payments landscape: EasyPaisa, JazzCash, Raast, and local banking rails.
  • Experience managing community channels (Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord) for crypto growth.
  • Strong written and verbal communication in both Urdu and English.
  • Understanding of the local regulatory environment for crypto in Africa and experience navigating compliance constraints in growth campaigns.
Preferred
  • Experience working at a Tier-1 or Tier-2 centralised exchange (CEX) with P2P functionality.
  • Familiarity with on-chain analytics tools (Dune, Nansen, Glassnode).
  • Prior experience designing and running trading competitions or gamified growth mechanics.
  • Network within the African crypto trading community — established relationships with merchants, traders, or community leaders.
  • SQL proficiency for self-serve data analysis.
 
Perks & Benefits
  • Competitive total compensation package benchmarked to top-tier crypto and fintech companies.
  • Performance bonus tied to growth KPIs with uncapped upside for exceptional results.
  • Crypto allowance and access to the platform's trading features at zero or reduced fees.
  • Remote-first flexibility
  • Learning & Development programmes and education subsidies.
  • Various team-building programmes and company events.
  • Wellness and meal allowances.
  • Comprehensive healthcare schemes for employees and dependants.
