We are looking for a strong proven leader with technical expertise, excellent communication skills who will oversee the IT operations and personnel in our Africa region and other locations. Our expectation is that you will deliver high quality, customer centric services to support MAFIs mission and objectives.

When it comes to problem solving you will have a proactive approach and the ability to effectively communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical audiences.

The nature of the role demands flexibility, as escalations and critical issues can occur at an time, requiring immediate attention and resolution. You would need to be prepared to adapt your schedule accordingly to accommodate these situations and ensure on-going operation of our services.
