Job Title: POS Recovery Manager Department: POS Channel Reports to: VP, POS Channel About this role: This role owns the end-to-end recovery of non-performing POS terminal assets — from the moment a terminal is flagged as at risk through to physical retrieval, financial settlement, and post-write-off recovery. Responsibilities • Recovery Strategy Governance • Own the terminal recovery lifecycle that defines escalation speed and settlement windows based on terminal age, transaction history, and recovery economics. • Ensure every terminal that enters recovery mode is assigned, tracked, escalated on schedule, and settled within its gate deadline — recovery, write-off, paid write-off, or insurance claim. • Design and continuously refine the recovery strategy, covering device collection, swap logistics, sales agent coordination, external agency management, and the efficient flow of assets back to custody. • Field Team Leadership • Lead, manage, and hold accountable a distributed field recovery team across multiple regions. • Instill a culture of operational discipline, accountability, and ethical conduct. Recovery work involves sensitive situations (confronting custodians about lost assets, handling disputes, managing bounty payments); the team must operate with integrity. • Develop comprehensive standard operating procedures for every recovery scenario: BRM-led recovery, external agency coordination, business takeover, faulty terminal collection, voluntary write-off processing, dispute handling, revive processing. • Build training programmes for recovery agents covering: terminal identification, check-in procedures, evidence collection for disputes, GPS and field management tools, escalation protocols. • KPI Management and Recovery Economics • Define and track recovery KPIs: recovery rate (pre-write-off), BRM recovery rate, external recovery rate, average days to recovery, cost per recovery, revive rate (post-write-off), bounty efficiency (bounty spend vs recovery value recovered). • Own the recovery economics: ensure total bounty spend plus logistics cost is always less than the recovery value of the terminals retrieved. The programme must be self-funding — recovery must generate more value than it costs. • Report monthly on: terminals entering recovery mode, terminals recovered, terminals written off, terminals revived, net financial impact, bounty spend, external agency spend, dispute volumes and outcomes. Experience & Background • Minimum 7 years of progressive experience managing large-scale field operations, logistics, asset recovery, or after-sales service, with at least 3 years in a senior leadership role. • Experience managing distributed field teams across multiple regions in Nigeria — you understand the infrastructure, the logistics constraints, and the human dynamics of field recovery operations. • Experience managing third-party service providers, contractors, or agency networks with performance-based contracts. • Direct experience in the Nigerian market with its specific logistical, regulatory, and operational realities. • Preferred: Experience from fintech, telecoms, e-commerce logistics, or any high-volume distributed asset management environment. • Preferred: Experience managing asset recovery at scale (thousands of units per month, not dozens).
