About DAI:
DAI is an employee-owned global development company. For 40 years, we have worked on the frontlines of international development, tackling fundamental social and economic development problems caused by inefficient markets, ineffective governments, and instability. Currently, DAI is delivering results that matter in some 60 countries. DAI is preparing for an anticipated programme that will contribute towards sustainable improvements in the livelihoods of the rural poor through increased digital financial inclusion. Digital financial inclusion encompasses all forms of electronic payments, but given the landscape in Uganda, the focus is particularly on using mobile phones as a mechanism for financial transactions and services. Working with public and private stakeholders including BoU, MoF, local telecoms, banks, and MFIs, the programme will coordinate, concentrate, and amplify the efforts of organizations working in financial inclusion in Uganda. The program will facilitate improvements in the digital financial service ecosystem; supporting the development of payments platforms and services that will lead to a wider range of financial services and delivery mechanisms benefitting poor households and micro, small and medium enterprises in Uganda. 
Key Duties and Responsibilities:
  • Discover opportunities for investments and improvements to catalyse digital access to finance products and services (i.e. product development, implementation strategy, policy expertise);
  • Offer a nuanced understanding of Ugandan and regional digital payment  ecosystem, including existing challenges and opportunities; and
  • Build off and contribute to regional expertise in digital financial access by identifying and coordinating local and regional technical assistance. 
Qualifications, Skills & Experience:
  • Five or more years working experience in access to finance, at least three of which focus on digital access to finance or product development;
  • Extensive experience working in Uganda or the region;
  • Experience working on donor funded programmes;
  • Significant networking and relationship management skills; and
  • Familiarity with key approaches to monitoring and evaluating digital access to finance; and
  • Fluency in English. 
How to apply: 
All suitable candidates that desire with DAI should send a cover letter and detailed Curriculum Vitae (CV) to dai.johannesburg@dai.com
