About Duplo

Duplo is a Lagos-based fintech startup that enables businesses in Africa to automate their spend  management, simplify cross-border payments, and control business finances all on one platform.

We want to make B2B payments as simple as P2P payment apps. Most business payments in Africa are made offline…yikes. We are on a mission to transform this. We are backed by top investors, including Tribe Capital, Commerce Ventures, Liquid2 Ventures, My Asia VC, Soma Capital, Y Combinator, Oui Capital, and others.

Description

• This is a unique opportunity. You’ll own the strategy and roadmap for Duplo Dashboard, the spend management and billing platform businesses across Nigeria, South Africa, Ghana and Kenya rely on, to control company spend and get paid.
•  

Responsibilities

• Own the product strategy, vision, and roadmap for Duplo Dashboard (Spend Management, Billing, and Compartmentalisation, TMS, E-invoicing), aligned with Duplo’s broader platform strategy.
• Lead end-to-end delivery of the Billing and Compartmentalisation monetisation roadmap, from discovery and BRD/PRD authorship through launch and adoption.
• Partner with Engineering, Design, Compliance, Finance, and GTM to translate customer and business requirements into shippable, well-scoped product increments.
• Define and track success metrics for the Dashboard product line (activation, adoption, revenue impact) and use data to prioritise the roadmap.
• Run customer discovery and stakeholder interviews across Duplo’s markets (Nigeria, South Africa, Ghana, Kenya) to validate use cases.
• Own migration planning for existing non-paying customers as monetised billing features roll out, minimising churn and support escalations.
• Write clear, detailed product requirement documents and collaborate with engineering on technical feasibility and sequencing.
• Represent the Dashboard/Spend platform in cross-functional planning, and mentor or support other product managers as needed.
•  

Requirements

• Bachelor’s Degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, or a related discipline.
• 5-6 years of product management experience, including experience owning a B2B fintech, payments, or SaaS product from strategy through delivery.
• Demonstrated experience shipping financial operations solutions, monetisation or billing features (subscriptions, invoicing, usage-based billing, or similar) at a fintech or B2B company.
• Strong ability to write clear BRDs/PRDs and work cross-functionally with Engineering, Design, Compliance, and GTM to ship complex, regulated products.
• Comfortable working with data to define success metrics, prioritise a roadmap, and make trade-off decisions with limited information.
• Experience or strong interest in African markets and the operational realities of building B2B financial infrastructure across multiple countries.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to influence stakeholders without direct authority.
• A bias for action and comfort operating in a fast-paced startup environment with evolving priorities.
