Job Description

Overview

DEXICONN builds infrastructure for device-backed financing.

We connect devices, software, distribution, and financial partners into a unified execution system, where device usage is controlled based on predefined credit terms linked to payment behavior.

We are building a capital-light, scalable infrastructure layer across markets, partners, and portfolios. We are looking for a COO who can build and execute this system end-to-end.

Role Objective

Build, launch, and scale the full operational system of DEXICONN:

from device production and distribution

to activation, control, repayment, and partner integration

This is a builder role, not a maintenance role.

Key Responsibilities

1. System Build (Core Priority)

Design and implement the full execution model:

  • device flow (production → distribution → activation → control)
  • IMEI-based control logic
  • integration with financial partners

Translate strategy into operational system and processes

Define and implement MVP (POC) and go-live model

2. Partner Model

Build and launch operational models with:

  • fintechs / banks
  • distributors
  • mobile operators

Define onboarding, integration, and accountability structure

Ensure partners operate within system rules

3. Device Control & Operations

Implement lock/unlock logic and enforcement processes

Define rules for:

  • activation
  • payment-linked access
  • device restrictions

Ensure full control via the platform (no manual processes)

4. Commercial Execution

Own operational side of:

  • sales execution
  • market launches
  • partner performance

Ensure:

  • device sell-through
  • payment collection discipline
  • portfolio performance

5. KPI & Performance Management

Define and implement a KPI system:

  • sales
  • collections
  • defaults
  • activations

Introduce daily/weekly execution tracking

Ensure accountability across all teams

6. Scaling Across Markets

Build a repeatable model for new country launches

Standardize processes across markets

Maintain control while scaling

What You Must Have Done

Built and launched a product/business from scratch

Managed cross-functional operations (product + ops + commercial)

Worked in:

fintech/lending/BNPL

OR device financing/asset-backed models

OR telecom/distribution ecosystems

Proven ownership of:

execution

results

P&L or equivalent responsibility

Key Skills

Strong system thinking (not task-based execution)

Ability to operate under uncertainty

Deep understanding of:

  • payments and collections
  • risk and repayment behavior
  • partner-driven business models

Ability to connect:

  • product
  • operations
  • commercial execution

Nice to Have

Experience in emerging markets (Africa, Asia)

Understanding of:

  • device lifecycle
  • IMEI/firmware/activation

Experience working with:

  • distributors
  • telecom operators

What This Role Is NOT

Not a corporate COO managing an existing structure

Not a strategy-only role

Not a pure operations manager

This is a build-from-zero execution role.

Success Criteria (First 6–12 Months)

Defined and implemented a full execution model

Launched POC and first market

Established working partner integrations

Built operational control system (device + payments)

Achieved first scalable unit economics

Compensation Structure

Base salary (stage-dependent)

Equity:

  • milestone-based
  • earned through execution
  • long-term participation

Final Note

We are building infrastructure, not a fintech product. The role requires focus, discipline, and the ability to build a scalable system — not just manage operations.

To understand who we're looking for:

We need someone who can put together the entire system—device + finance + control + partners—and launch it into production.
