About Nclusion
Nclusion is on a mission to provide traditional financial services to 1.5 billion people worldwide without access today.

We're changing that by bridging the gap between traditional banking and the communities that need it most.

This role focuses on practical, insight-driven growth, understanding how communities operate, how people access and utilize financial services available to them, and what barriers they face.
You’ll partner with US & Global Operations teams, as well as our Research function to translate market research into clear strategic recommendations, ensuring Nclusion can meet customers where they are, regardless of geography or infrastructure.
