Your safety comes first — read before you go. Taf4All only lists job offers published by third parties. We are not the employer, we do not conduct these recruitments, and we cannot guarantee what happens once you make contact — you deal directly with the person or company behind the offer, at your own risk.

Our mission We're making Africa the first cashless continent. In 2017, over half the population in Sub-Saharan Africa had no bank account. That's for good reason—the fees are too high, the closest branch can be miles away, and nobody takes cards. Without access to financial institutions, people are forced to keep their savings under the mattress. Small business owners rely on lenders who charge extortionate rates. Parents spend hours waiting in line to pay school fees in cash. We're solving this by building financial services that just work: no account fees, instantly available, and accepted everywhere. In places where electricity, water and roads don't always work, you can still send money with Wave. In 2017, we launched a mobile app in Senegal for cash deposit, withdrawal, and peer-to-peer and business payments. Now, we have millions of users across 9 countries and are growing fast. Our goal is to make Africa the first cashless continent and that's where you come in... How you'll help us achieve it

Expert Application Advice

When tailoring your CV for Wave, go beyond listing duties. Quantify how you met les compétences demandées dans l'annonce by using concrete metrics—like reducing delivery delays by 20% or cutting fleet costs by 15%. Numbers prove your impact and build trust faster than descriptions ever will.

Supply chain performance — On-time delivery rates, storage cost reduction, stock rotation: quantify every improvement. A CIPS or APICS certification, even partial, is a major differentiator in Africa.

  • •Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
  • •Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
  • •Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
  • •Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
  • •Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
  • •A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
