PEG Ghana is searching for a Data Analytics Manager based in Accra, Ghana.
Come join the most exciting team in West Africa!
Data Analytics Manager Who we are
PEG was founded in 2013, as an asset financing company that uses mobile technology to provide consumer-financing
solutions for solar and other products to low-income customers in West Africa. PEG’s management team has started
several companies in Ghana, and their last company was acquired by a private equity firm in New York City. We have
raised funding from Rockefeller and Lemelson Foundations, Enbridge Energy, the GSM association, and Persistent
Energy Partners.
The company’s first commercial application is solar systems, which following successful pre-commercial piloting with
500 households this year, is due for commercial roll-out in Ghana in late 2014. PEG will target 20,000 customers in
2015, and 100,000 by 2016.
What we do
Through PEG’s solar products, customers use mobile payments such as Tigo Cash, Airtel Money and MTN Money to pay
for a home solar lighting system on a “pay-per-use” basis, making the transition to cleaner energy much more
affordable, especially to low-income users.
Our products are distributed and sold through a network of local agents and outlets who are paid commission when
customers send payments. A network of regional offices is responsible for recruiting and managing agents, stock
management and local marketing.
Customers are supported by a high quality customer care team based in Accra. This team is responsible for all aspects of
customer account management: registration, questions or complaints and monitoring customer performance and
analysis of customer payment behavior.
