About Yellow
Yellow’s goal is to build an enduring business that makes life better for our customers and creates great lives for our team. We provide solar-power electricity solutions and financed smartphones which makes these life changing products affordable to bottom of the pyramid households.
Our story is simple- we want our customers to enjoy a better life with energy in their home with a financed solar system, internet all the time with a financed smartphone and afford them opportunities through an ecosystem of digital and financial services.
We started selling through a network of rural agents and managed them remotely with technology, through a web-based platform we have developed called Ofeefee. Our operation is lean because it uses exponential tech solutions, which allows us to efficiently meet the challenges of last-mile distribution. But NOW…

What will you be joining?

We want to understand in the quickest and least stock intensive way - how customers in each respective country repay their loans and can we become the biggest sustainable smartphone financing company in Africa.

Who are we looking for?
You will be managing a portfolio of smartphone merchants of which you will drive their collections(repayments), customer support, sales support and anything that your merchants may need to succeed as a business. Yellow will equip you with the tools and support. You will succeed in this role if you have strength or interest in running your own business currently or one day and love to take full ownership of a project.
