We are recruiting to fill the position below:

Job Title: Lead, Telesales

Location: Lagos

Job Purpose

• The Telesales Lead is a driver of our growth engine.
• At Moniepoint, we don't just sell products; we provide the fuel (capital) that Nigerian businesses need to thrive.
• This role is about managing outbound engagement with precision, ensuring our loan products reach the entrepreneurs who need them most.
• You will lead a team of agents, turning conversations into opportunities.
• You’ll be responsible for maintaining high energy, operational discipline, and a human-first approach to sales that aligns with our brand’s mission of creating financial happiness.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead with Energy & Mastery: Supervise and mentor a team of outbound agents. You aren't just checking boxes; you’re coaching your team to master the art of persuasion and objection handling.
• Mastery of the Narrative: Ensure all agents are fluent in our sales scripts and workflows. You’ll make sure they don’t just "read a script" but actually engage customers in a relatable, professional way.
• Performance Architecture: Monitor the heartbeat of the sales floor—call volumes, conversion rates, and drop-off points. You identify the "why" behind the numbers and implement fixes fast.
• Operational Discipline: Maintain a high standard of compliance. You’ll ensure that every sale is handled with integrity and that customer data is treated with the highest level of confidentiality.
• Gap Analysis: Keep a sharp eye on the sales process. If there’s a friction point preventing a business from getting a loan, you’ll find it, document it, and escalate it to the right stakeholders.
• Continuous Growth: Support the onboarding of new joiners and lead ongoing training sessions. We want our team to grow as fast as our business does.

What Success Looks Like

• Conversion Excellence: The team consistently meets or exceeds loan acquisition targets while maintaining high-quality leads.
• Operational Efficiency: Call volumes and AHT (Average Handle Time) are optimized, and the "drop-off" rate at the application stage is minimized.
• Team Retention & Growth: Your agents report high levels of engagement and clear paths for their own professional development.
• Compliance Zero-Failure: 100% adherence to sales guidelines and regulatory requirements across all outbound activities.

Qualifications

• Minimum of 3 years’ experience in a call centre environment.
• At least 2 years of experience in a leadership or supervisory role within financial sales, outbound sales, or telesales.
• Proven experience working with CRM, loan management, or call management systems.
• A solid understanding of financial services or loan products is a distinct advantage.
• Excellent communication skills—you can explain complex ideas in "regular words" that anyone can understand.

About You:

• You’re a Growth Hero: You have the grit to push through challenges and the momentum to keep your team motivated even on tough days.
• You Value Integrity: You understand that in financial services, trust is everything. You lead by example when it comes to compliance and data ethics.
• You’re a Natural Coach: You take pride in seeing your agents succeed. You enjoy the process of identifying a talent gap and helping someone close it.
• You’re Factual & Direct: You don't hide behind jargon. You use data to tell a story and make decisions based on what’s actually happening on the floor.
