Our Mission

We have recently updated our Company Mission to reflect our ambitions to build the future of payments in Africa. You can read all about it here.

Why does our mission matter?

There are over 1.3 billion Africans in the world and is the fastest growing region in the world. Africa is also the most expensive place to send money to and trade with. Talent is everywhere but opportunity isn’t. How do we bridge this divide with a sense of purpose?

  • Think about people living far away from their loved ones who are financially responsible and support them. Imagine how you would feel losing 8-9% of your money through fees. How do we reduce the cost of sending money home through technology?
  • What about the future for businesses? Think about those who are trying to do cross-border business from Africa outbound to the rest of the world? Why is it so hard to trade today? Why do people have to send money with other people physically or cash on planes? How much money and time is lost while doing this?
  • What about the reliability of trade? When payments are delayed, that means business is disrupted. This costs everyone money. It loses us trust with customers.
  • What about the future of work? Think about those young TikTok influencers in Uganda who make amazing content, but can’t get paid because they don’t have Visa or Mastercards yet have mobile money?

NALA’s true impact will be measured by the opportunities we create for Africa to trade with the world and the world to trade with Africa.

Your responsibilities in this role

  • Oversee the day-to-day management of IT systems and networks ensuring overall security of the NALA IT ecosystem
  • Lead IT projects from inception to delivery, ensuring alignment with budget and strategic objectives.

  • Provide support for queries related to computer systems, software, and hardware for both office-based and remote teams.
  • Perform administrative tasks including user creation, managing group policies, and handling computer accounts.
  • Develop and implement automation solutions to streamline IT processes, including onboarding and asset management.
  • Administer and support critical tools such as Slack, Jira, Jump Cloud/MDM, MS Defender/EDR, and Asset Management systems (Asset Panda).
  • Resolve IT issues to minimize disruption to business operations and maintain high-quality IT service standards.
  • Document IT processes and best practices, and create training materials for team members.
  • Collaborate with stakeholders to align IT strategies with company goals and stay updated with technology trends.

Why Cyber Security Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Cyber security used to be viewed primarily as a technical discipline: firewalls, encryption, intrusion detection, penetration testing. In the UK today, it’s far broader. Organisations now face complex legal frameworks, ethical dilemmas, human-behaviour risks, communication challenges & usability hurdles. This shift means cyber security careers are becoming more multidisciplinary. From protecting NHS patient records to defending financial services, securing supply chains & safeguarding national infrastructure, cyber security now touches every sector. Employers increasingly want professionals who understand law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design alongside traditional technical skills. In this article, we’ll explore why UK cyber security careers are expanding in this way, how these five disciplines shape the profession, and what job-seekers & employers need to know to thrive in this new landscape.
