Business Technology Senior Manager at Enko Education

• Are you a strategic architect capable of aligning business vision with technological execution? Can you turn complex systems into simple, intuitive solutions that empower teams in their daily work? Do you thrive in fast-paced scale-up environments where agility is the rule and impact is a strong measure of success?
• Enko Education is seeking its future Business Technology Senior Manager to lead our Business Efficiency team across 11 African countries. You are not just an IT manager; you are a leader building the digital and human foundations that allow thousands of African students to access the world's best universities.
• Directly reporting to the Group CFO, you will head the Business Efficiency function. Your mission is to turn technology into a powerful engine of performance, ensuring that every decision made by our leadership is backed by flawless, real-time data.
• With 8 to 12 years of experience - ideally in SI/Management consulting or a multi-site scale-up - you have mastered the art of making SaaS ecosystems "talk" to each other while leading teams toward operational excellence. You do not look for the most expensive solution, but the smartest and most value-driven one.
• This is a unique chance to shape the technological backbone of a fast-growing education group. Are you ready to take on the challenge?

About the Role

Key Responsibilities:

• Strategy & Architecture: Define and lead the 3-year technology roadmap, harmonizing our existing tools (EDUKA, XERO, Toddle) to create a coherent, scalable ecosystem.
• Team Leadership: Lead and grow the Business Efficiency team, setting clear OKRs and fostering a culture of excellence and continuous learning.
• Data for Decision-Making: Design and deploy BI dashboards (Looker Studio, Power BI) to provide the ExCo with surgical precision on key metrics (Revenue, Retention, Academics).
• Stakeholder Influence: Drive change across the group by using influence management to align local school teams and central functions with new digital standards, regardless of direct reporting lines.
• Project & Partner Management: Select and lead external providers with a high standard for ROI and delivery quality.
• Efficiency Booster: Identify "heavy" manual processes and propose agile automation solutions to free up time for our school teams.

The Ideal Candidate

• We are looking for a leader with a Triple Dimension: a Business vision to prioritize impact, Technological agility to build light solutions, and Human leadership to inspire and unite teams.

Your profile in 5 points:

• Proven Expertise: Solid experience in SI and Data, with advanced mastery of BI tools and SaaS architectures.
• People Leadership: Proven ability to manage a team and drive influence management across diverse geographical locations and cultures.
• Operational Agility: The ability to shift instantly from "helicopter-view" strategic thinking to "hands-on" field execution.
• Methodological Rigor: A natural ability to structure complex projects, manage budgets, and set OKRs with total autonomy.
• Full Bilingualism: Proficiency in French and English is mandatory to navigate and influence in our multi-country environment.
• Entrepreneurial Mindset: An "Avid Learner" who is creative, solution-oriented, and capable of turning constraints into development opportunities.
