What the job involves

- This is a rare opportunity to sit at the intersection of cutting-edge tech, real estate, and corporate law in an industry that is literally redefining mobility
- Build the Infrastructure: You’ll lead the charge on real estate and land use, negotiating the leases and charging agreements that form the physical backbone of our AV fleet
- Fuel the Business: From vendor contracts to master service agreements, you’ll draft and negotiate the deals that keep our operations moving at high velocity
- Guard the Governance: You’ll manage the lifecycle of our corporate entities, ensuring we are qualified, compliant, and ready for scale across multiple jurisdictions
- Bridge the Gaps: You’ll be the "connective tissue" between our Infrastructure, Safety, Finance, and HR teams, ensuring legal strategy is perfectly synced with business reality
- Direct the Experts: You’ll manage relationships with outside counsel, ensuring we get world-class results while keeping an eye on the bottom line
Our take
In many African countries, cars serve as the primary mode of transportation, yet car ownership rates remain significantly lower than those in the United States and Europe. A major obstacle exists in the form of limited access to financing for individuals, companies, and small businesses seeking to acquire the vehicles necessary for their mobility needs.
Moove has set out to confront this challenge by offering revenue-based vehicle financing solutions to ride-hailing app drivers. In partnership with Uber, Moove operates in Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, and Kenya and has began expanding into Latin America. Unlike traditional car loans, Moove's financing model links an Uber driver's repayments directly to their work volume and revenue generation, providing customers with increased flexibility in managing their repayments.
Within its first year of operation, Moove facilitated 1.4M trips using vehicles financed through its innovative approach. The company is now poised to leverage funding to expand its presence across West Africa, and , folliwng its acqwuisition of Kovi, its making a strong entry into the Latin American market. Moove's overarching goal remains to address the substantial vehicle financing gap that exisits and its sure is making big moves.
