Unifi is a fast-growing African lender that offers simple, fast personal loans through online, mobile and branch channels. It operates in Zambia, Kenya, Uganda, South Africa and Tanzania, and describes its brand as “Boldly different. Fiercely human. Proudly African.”

The company’s approach is “touch and tech”: warm, face-to-face client service in branches and in the field, backed by its own lending software and in-house data analytics teams. In Uganda, Unifi delivers personal lending products through a branch-based network.

Unifi says it has strong conviction in the African continent and its people, and builds its products to help clients achieve more. That focus on growth is why client acquisition roles like this one sit at the centre of its branch teams.

The Client Growth Sales Representative builds relationships with potential clients in and around Lira to market Unifi’s loan products. Unifi wants someone passionate with an outgoing personality who will keep engaging customers through direct marketing, networking events, cold calling and flyer distribution.

Most of the work happens in the field, which is why riding skills are listed. You will map potential customers, generate and convert leads, run presentations and help with public networking events and giveaways. You will also plan your weekly and monthly work, keep a client pipeline and report on performance. It is an entry-level role, which makes it a good first sales job for anyone who wants to start a career in financial services.
