Careers with Africa Rising

Senior African talent, placed with intent.

We place operators, specialists and senior leaders from across the continent inside serious companies, on the continent and around the world. Two ways to work with us below.

Open Placements

Roles with our clients.

Remote placements inside founder-led companies in the US, Canada, UAE and beyond. Every operator we place is matched to one client, paid in USD, and treated as a real teammate.

No open placements right now.

We fill most placements from our network before they are ever posted. Join the Talent Network and you will hear about the next one before it goes public.

What it's like here

The kind of person who thrives with us.

We are not for everyone, and that is the point. Here is what we look for, and what you will find on the other side of an offer.

You own outcomes, not tasks.

The roles we place are designed for ownership. You will not be handed a checklist. You will be handed a problem, context, and the trust to solve it. We expect you to push back, propose better paths, and act like a stakeholder in the work.

You communicate before you are asked.

Our placements work because operators stay ahead of the loop: flagging risks early, sharing context proactively, updating without prompting. Silence reads as friction.

You are sharp on tools and unafraid of new ones.

AI fluency, CRM hygiene, automation, dashboards. The operators we place treat their tooling as leverage, not overhead. You need to ramp on new tools without hand-holding.

You are in this for the long arc.

We place for retention. The best client engagements run for years. If you want a series of short gigs, we are probably not the fit. If you want to build something inside a great team, we would love to talk.

Don't see the right role?
