Jumia Jobs in Uganda

People Jumia
Chief Commercial Officer

Jumia is Africa's #1 Internet Group (e-commerce, marketplace, travel, food delivery, classifieds), supported by partners such as Goldman Sachs, CDC, MTN, Orange, Axa and Rocket Internet. We became this year Africa's first unicorn after successful first years of operations.



Jumia was founded in 2012 on the basis of a very strong belief: Internet can improve people’s lives in Africa. Observing the challenges that people face every day (poor infrastructures, limited choice, limited information, expensive products and services), we saw a huge opportunity to leverage Internet and use it to connect people and provide them with a solution to their daily needs. Therefore, we embarked on the journey to build a company with a very simple mission: expand your horizons.
