Head of Support

Juice was started by Ife and Justin. We processed our first (nine dollar) transaction in November 2021. A few years later and a lot of transactions later and we have come to terms with our true role in enabling the African business to make compliant global payments cheap and fast.

As we come out of stealth we are convinced that we are the vanguard of a new payments paradigm designed for Africans but global in its reach. Africa currently produces less than 80% of what it consumes. Foreign currency for imports is therefore in high demand by African merchants but the banks and the correspondent banking system were not designed to serve them in the internet era where trade is no longer limited to commodities ( or primarily dominated by governments and multinationals). Despite a proliferation of payment solutions in recent years a combination of fragmentation in the system and FX liquidity constraints remain prohibitive and effectivelyand unnecessarilycut off disenfranchised businesses and individuals from global trade completely. Until now.

Juice is leveraging the highest quality liquidity in the market partnerships regulation and powerful real time shifts in financial technology to bridge these gaps in liquidity and services for Africans. We believe that enabling frictionless global payments will make the life of the average business owner on the continent better. And our customers agree. Juice has tapped into something real. Now we want to share our platform with more Africans who can benefit from it and must assemble the right team for scale.

And we are looking for a passionate and experienced Head of Support to lead our growing customer support team at Juice. As a missiondriven company we are committed to helping African businesses thrive globally. In this role you will develop and implement strategies to deliver exceptional customer service optimize support operations and drive continuous improvement. You will have the opportunity to build a highperforming team shape the future of our support function and impact the success of African businesses.
