We're not just scaling a business — we're building financial access for people who've never had it, with 55% of our customers accessing formal financial services for the very first time.

About the role

As a Customer Care Trainer, you'll own the capability of our in-house and BPO agent teams; from onboarding new hires to diagnosing performance gaps and building the learning content that closes them. You'll work closely with Team Leaders and Quality Assurance to translate business changes, new products, and process improvements into practical, agent-ready training.

This is a hybrid role, working from our offices in Lagos, Nigeria, partnering with a diverse group of employees from our different markets and locations across the UK, Europe, and Africa. You will be reporting to the Global Head Customer Support

What You'll Do

• Designing and facilitating training sessions for Customer Care Representatives across products, systems, processes, and customer handling and managing monthly assessments and certification readiness across all teams

• Conducting training needs analysis using QA feedback, quiz results, and performance trends, then building targeted interventions, coaching plans, and refresher sessions to address gaps

• Developing and maintaining training materials guides, job aids, facilitation plans; that stay current with SOPs, tools, and policies across both in-house and BPO environments, while acting as the learning liaison for cross-functional change rollouts

• Other tasks as assigned by your manager.

What You'll Need

• Minimum 2 years' experience training call centre or customer support agents, with a solid understanding of contact centre KPIs, QA practices, and service workflows

• Demonstrated ability to develop practical training content guides, assessments, job aids and facilitate confidently across individual and group coaching settings

• A bachelor's degree in Education, Training & Development, Human Resources, or a related field, plus proficiency in CRM tools and Microsoft Office Suite.

The honest part

This role sits at the intersection of operations, quality, and learning; which means your calendar will rarely be quiet. You'll be managing training delivery, tracking assessment data, supporting BPO partners, and responding to change rollouts - sometimes all at once. If you thrive in environments where your output is directly visible in team performance, that's exactly the energy this role needs.
