Head of Creative

Kuda is a money app for Africans on a mission to make financial services accessible, affordable and rewarding for every African on the planet.
We’re a tribe of passionate and diverse people who dreamed of building an inclusive money app that Africans would love so it’s only right that we ended up with the name ‘Kuda’ which means ‘love’ in Shona, a language spoken in the southern part of Africa.
We’re giving Africans around the world a better alternative to traditional finance by delivering money transfers, smart budgeting and instant access to credit through digital devices.
We’ve raised over $90 million from some of the world's most respected institutional investors, and we’re rolling out our game-changing services globally from our offices in Nigeria, South Africa, and the UK.

Role Overview
We’re looking for a Head of Creative to lead Kuda’s rebrand and make it shine across everything we do. You’ll help position Kuda for the future while making sure we stay relatable, bold, and unmistakably Kuda. This is a hands-on leadership role - you’ll be shaping strategy, inspiring a talented creative team, and rolling up your sleeves to bring big ideas to life.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the rebranding of Kuda alongside our agency partner and implement it consistently across all channels and touchpoints.
