From sales and credit risk to legal, marketing, and leadership positions, PalmPay’s 2026 recruitment drive is one of the largest hiring pushes in African fintech right now.
If you have been waiting for the right moment to break into fintech, or to move up within it, this is worth stopping to read properly. PalmPay, one of Nigeria’s fastest growing mobile money and financial services platforms, currently has well over 150 open positions listed on its official careers page, spanning sales, credit and risk, legal, marketing, operations, technology, and leadership roles.
This is not a small, quiet hiring round. It is a full scale expansion, and the roles stretch far beyond Lagos, covering states and regions across Nigeria, along with active openings in Tanzania and Burkina Faso as PalmPay continues its push across the continent.
Here is a breakdown of what is currently open, and how you can apply.
Sales And Business Development Roles
By far the largest category of open roles sits within sales and field operations, and PalmPay is hiring aggressively across almost every Nigerian state. Openings include Loan Sales Officers across locations like Lagos, Oyo, Ogun, Osun, Ekiti, Kwara, Abia, Imo, Rivers, Enugu, Delta, Anambra, Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Edo, Kaduna, and more, alongside Sales Officers, Sales Agents for Pay with Transfer, Business Developers, Sales Merchandisers, In Shop Sales Promoters, and a Head of Sales role based in Ikeja, Lagos.
If you have strong people skills, resilience, and a drive to hit targets in the field, this is easily the widest entry point into the company right now.
Credit, Risk, And Anti-Fraud Roles
PalmPay is also building out its credit and risk functions significantly, with openings for a Credit Risk Analyst, Credit Risk Manager, Credit Reviewer for Hausa speakers, Field Anti Fraud Officer, Junior Anti Fraud Analyst, Field Verification Officer, Call Verification Officer, and Field Collections Officer. Several of these roles specifically call for Hausa language proficiency, reflecting PalmPay’s push into Northern Nigeria.
Legal, Compliance, And Government Relations
For candidates with a legal or regulatory background, there is a Government Relations Manager role based in Ikeja, along with several Legal Manager positions across the company’s wider operations. Given how heavily regulated fintech is, these roles sit close to the center of how PalmPay operates responsibly at scale.
Marketing, Design, And Product
Creative and product minded candidates are covered too, with openings for a Senior Brand Designer, Marketing Officer, and Merchant Acquisition Executive focused on cross border payments, based in Ikeja, Lagos.
Corporate, Finance, And Leadership Roles
At the senior end, PalmPay is also hiring for genuinely significant leadership positions, including a Managing Director and Chief Technology Officer based in Burkina Faso as the company expands into new African markets, alongside a Finance and Accounts Specialist and Administrative Officer overseeing regional and out of state operations.
Beyond Nigeria
PalmPay’s hiring push is not limited to Nigeria alone. The company currently has open roles in Tanzania, including a Legal Manager and Company Secretary, UX Designer, Operations Specialist, Payment Channel Supervisor, Data Analytics Specialist, and Senior HR Business Partner, along with a Head of Partnerships role based in Burkina Faso. This reflects a company genuinely scaling its footprint across the continent, not just holding steady in one market.
Final Word: A Rare Window Into One Of Africa’s Fastest Growing Fintechs
Hiring drives at this scale do not happen often, and when a company is opening this many doors at once, across this many functions and this many locations, it usually signals real, sustained growth. Whether your strength is in sales, risk, legal, marketing, or leadership, there is a genuine chance PalmPay has a role built for where you are in your career right now.
Do not let a list this large intimidate you into inaction. Find the role that fits, prepare a strong application, and put yourself forward.
