Who we are:
Mama Money is a growth-stage fintech on a mission to improve the financial lives of migrants and underserved communities across Africa and beyond. What started in 2015 as a cross-border payments service has grown into a multi-product financial platform — giving people the tools to send, save, and manage money on their own terms, at a socially fair price. Payments were just the beginning; today Mama Money is building the fuller financial toolkit our customers need, all under one roof.
Mama HQ is in beautiful Cape Town. We're 159 people strong (and counting), representing 19 countries across Africa, Asia, the UK, and Europe. Everything we build is in service of people who deserve better — and our culture reflects that same commitment. We've had good times and tough times, but the focus never shifts: people over profit, always.
We're looking for a Junior Designer who's fresh out of university and hungry to build a career in design. This is an entry-level role — we're not expecting a packed portfolio of client work, just strong fundamentals, a good eye, and genuine enthusiasm for learning. You'll work closely with our product, marketing, and brand teams to bring ideas to life across digital and print.
This is a great opportunity for someone who wants hands-on mentorship, real ownership from day one, and the chance to grow inside a fast-moving fintech.
Why Mama?
We build products that help people do more with their money — from sending money home, to saving, to accessing money in ways that feel safe and simple. The work matters because it helps real people in real ways, every single day.
We're not afraid to give things a go, and we take ownership of what we do. We keep learning, support each other, and stay focused on what matters most. If you're after meaningful work and a team that genuinely cares about what they're building — this could be your next move.
Mama's values:
- Making it easier for customers
- Give it a go
- Just own it
