What You’ll Do
Program & Project Management
Manage multiple device programs simultaneously, spanning new product launches, internal operational improvement projects, and administration of a 12-month forward-rolling product roadmap. This includes specification management of the historically bought devices, the current devices that are being sold, and the devices under development.
Maintain program trackers across the programs, ensure action items are clearly assigned, dated, and followed up
Send weekly status updates and action notifications to relevant stakeholders after each program meeting
Coordinate with both internal teams and external partner stakeholders to keep workstreams aligned
Manage project deadlines across concurrent workstreams, flagging risks early and escalating blockers to the relevant owners
Coordinate and schedule meetings across internal and external stakeholders, update program timelines to reflect agreed outcomes, and distribute updated plans to all relevant parties in a timely manner
Compliance & Certification
Follow up on certification requirements across programs, obtain relevant documentation from internal teams, ODM partners, and test laboratories
Maintain a centralised repository of certification and regulatory documents for each device and market, including type approval, CE/RED declarations, safety reports, and regulator correspondence
Assist with the creation and maintenance of playbooks covering local regulatory approval processes across M‑KOPA’s active markets (KE, UG, NG, GH, ZA), documenting process steps, timelines, responsible parties, and submission requirements
GTM & Testing Coordination
Drive GTM planning conversations with local sales teams, aligning on launch timings, market readiness milestones, and any country-specific requirements that could affect availability or positioning
Maintain overview of local testing requirements and results
Coordinate test schedules for device locking programs (including Kilpilock and Knox Guard), ensuring that integration testing, regression cycles, and sign-off stages are planned, resourced, and tracked to completion
Coordinate device firmware test schedules for new and in-market devices, working with ODM partners and internal QA to sequence OTA validation, security patch testing, and GMS recertification cycles
Product Marketing Support
Own the briefing process for new device launches into the marketing team, compiling and communicating accurate product specifications, key messages, and positioning inputs so that creative and content work can begin without delays
Apply a sharp eye for detail when reviewing marketing materials before external submission — checking accuracy, tone, consistency, and alignment with brand standards — to catch issues that would cause rejections or delays with approvers such as 3PL partners and Google
Coordinate the submission of marketing content to external approvers (including 3PL partners and Google), tracking status and ensuring submissions are progressed in time to meet launch dates; this role is not the final approver but is responsible for ensuring approvals are obtained from the right parties on schedule
When external approvers request changes or raise issues, translate that feedback clearly to the marketing team, brief in the required revisions, and track the rework through to resolution and resubmission — closing the loop on every round of feedback
Maintain a live tracker of all marketing deliverables per program, with visibility on briefing dates, submission status, approver feedback, revision cycles, and final sign-off — escalating anything at risk of delaying a launch
Stakeholder Coordination
Manage relationships with a mixed stakeholder group: internal teams and external commercial and technical partners
Prepare meeting agendas, capture minutes, and drive follow-through on commitments
Serve as the primary coordination point for ODM approval requests, receiving submissions from ODM partners and routing them to the correct internal teams (supply chain, legal, compliance, product, marketing) for review — then consolidating feedback and communicating a clear, timely response back to the ODM
Review ODM-submitted artwork and labelling materials — including device labels, box labels, in-box documentation, and packaging copy — either granting direct sign-off within scope or escalating to the relevant internal owner, ensuring nothing is sent to production without confirmed M‑KOPA approval.
What You’ll Bring
Strong project and program management instincts — you track things, chase things, and close things
Excellent written communication; able to generate clear content and give precise, useful feedback
High attention to detail, especially when reviewing marketing or technical documentation
Comfort working across multiple priorities without dropping threads
PC proficiency, including working with trackers, presentations, and communication tools
A genuine interest in mobile technology — this role touches device launches, firmware processes, security features, and technical product development, so curiosity about how phones work is important
Ability to absorb and communicate technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders
Nice to Have
Prior experience in a supply chain, device, or technology environment
Exposure to product launch cycles or regulatory/certification workflows
Familiarity with project management tools such as Notion, Asana, or similar
