Job Description
- AMI is looking for an ambitious and talented Financial Inclusion and Fintech Expert (Consultant) to design and develop practical, accessible and actionable learning tools and resources that help young women entrepreneurs understand, access, and confidently use financial and fintech solutions available in Kenya.
Responsibilities
- Build the Fintech Knowledge Layer: Take ownership of constructing the fintech knowledge baseline within the DigiThrive program.
- Develop Learning Tools: Design practical materials covering access to finance requirements, borrowing practices, loan limits, repayment terms, and sustainable financing strategies.
- Conduct Market Scans: Complete a comprehensive market scan of fintech solutions and financial service providers in Kenya relevant to agri-food micro-enterprises.
- Map & Profile Providers: Identify and map reputable financial institutions and fintech providers suitable for program participants.
- Define Selection Criteria: Outline clear selection criteria for fintech solutions based on the financial realities of young women entrepreneurs in the agriculture value chain.
- Provider Engagement: Engage directly with fintech providers to gather deep insights on product offerings, usability, and eligibility requirements.
- Create a Product Directory: Build a curated, highly user-friendly directory of relevant financial products and services.
- Draft Safeguarding Memorandums: Develop a safeguarding advisory memo highlighting risks, responsible usage, and warning signs around predatory lending.
- Ensure Gender Responsiveness: Guarantee that all completed assets are gender-responsive, practical, and simple to digest for entrepreneurs with lower financial or digital literacy.
- Consolidate Learning Content: Collaborate with the team to synthesize outputs into a standalone, accessible e-booklet that features fintech profiles and responsible borrowing guidance.
Requirements
- High-level domain expertise in Kenya's digital financial services and fintech ecosystem, with a proven track record of working within the MSME space.
- Demonstrated experience creating practical toolkits, e-books, or instructional learning resources designed for micro-enterprises or entrepreneurs.
- Strong research and analytical capabilities — able to independently profile, map and evaluate financial products and services.
- Exceptional ability to translate dense, complex financial concepts into clear, relatable, and actionable content for non-expert audiences.
- Experience developing training or learning content specifically tailored to MSMEs, with an understanding of the practical challenges facing micro-enterprise owners.
- Familiarity with gender-responsive programming or women's economic empowerment (WEE) initiatives.
- Experience or contextual understanding of agribusiness or agri-food value chains in Kenya is an added advantage.
- Prior exposure to donor-funded or development-focused programmes operating in the financial inclusion space is an added advantage.
