Jobs: North Africa is back on hiring

From the newsletter

North and East Africa are leading this week’s job board, contributing over 70% of the new roles tracked by Mobility Rising. Egypt tops the list with five openings from Glide Smart Mobility and Shift EV, while Kenya and Rwanda follow with three jobs in finance and engineering. East Africa has fewer listings than usual, a shift in regional hiring patterns.

• North Africa, previously quiet on the hiring front as tracked by Mobility Rising, has now shown increased activity, though not in manufacturing roles. Meanwhile, West Africa recorded three vacancies from MAX and Spiro in Nigeria, centred on accounting and data engineering, which are essential for scaling operations.

• Most of this week’s EV job openings were not in manufacturing or assembly but in critical support departments such as finance, data engineering, and commercial operations. This highlights the growing demand for specialized roles that strengthen internal systems and enable EV companies to scale effectively across Africa.
