Kredete
About Kredete
Kredete is a financial technology platform designed to help African immigrants build credit and send money instantly to 25+ African countries. Using Stablecoins and modern payment systems, we make it easy and affordable for businesses to move money across borders. Our mission is to provide accessible, secure, and low-cost financial solutions that improve cash flow and support financial growth for individuals and businesses.
As a company scaling rapidly, we are managing numerous projects simultaneously — including partner and customer integrations, product releases, marketing campaigns, event sponsorships, hiring initiatives, operational activities, and strategic travel. To deliver these successfully, Kredete needs a dedicated Program Manager who can bring structure, alignment, and accountability across the organization.
Role Overview The Program Manager will be the central driver of execution across all functions at Kredete. You will be responsible for planning, coordinating, tracking, and reporting projects and activities across the company, ensuring they are delivered on time, within budget, and aligned to business priorities.
This role requires someone who is highly organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable working in a fast-paced, cross-functional startup environment. You will work closely with leadership and every team — engineering, product, design, marketing, finance, HR, compliance, and external partners — to ensure the company achieves its strategic goals.
