Exciting Career Opportunity: Africa Insurtech Ecosystem Manager with Sand Technologies

By Chris Suzdak

Sand Technologies, in collaboration with ALX and The FutureList, is thrilled to announce a key addition to our team: the Africa Insurtech Ecosystem Manager. This position is set to help further cultivate the ecosystem determining how insurance works across Africa’s biggest markets, including Kenya, Nigeria, and South Africa. It’s a unique opportunity to bridge the gap between established insurance corporates and innovative tech startups, integrating cutting-edge AI to reshape the industry.

Drawing on my own experiences at Pula—where we leveraged satellite technology to revolutionise agricultural insurance—the potential for transformative impact in this industry is immense. It reminds me of how, by embracing technology, we tackled significant challenges like climate risk for smallholder farmers. This new role at Sand aims to mirror that impact across the entire insurance sector, harnessing innovation to deliver scalable solutions.

The new manager will be pivotal in:

  • Cultivating a thriving tech and insurance community, orchestrating everything from high-impact networking events to regional summits.
  • Scouting for innovation, by exploring industry trends, connecting startups with major companies, and paving the way for potential mergers and acquisitions.
  • Forging powerful partnerships and crafting AI-driven solutions that resonate across Africa’s insurance landscape.

So, are you ready to lead the way in a fast-evolving field? Do you have a solid track record in tech and insurance, with a knack for sparking industry-wide innovation? If yes, we want you. This isn’t just another job opening; it’s a chance to play a key role in shaping the future of insurance across Africa.

Apply or recommend someone you know who is perfect for this role. Join us at Sand Technologies, and be part of transforming Africa’s insurance sector into a hub of innovation and growth.
