Job description
Tala is seeking an experienced Recoveries leader to help us lead our growing operational team servicing customers in the East Africa region.

We are a global team with diverse backgrounds who are singularly focused on using technology, data, and a customer-centric approach to meet the financial needs of the 2+ billion people of the emerging global middle class.
In this role, you will be responsible for managing on-site teams responsible for collections operations with direct accountability for recoveries performance, full cycle personnel management, quality of service, and budget management.

You have experience goal-setting and projecting growth, with a knack for cascading and communicating quantifiable, aggressive targets to your teams.
