Head of Maintenance — Wahu Mobility

 

We're hiring: Head of Maintenance — Wahu Mobility

Every Wahu rider's income depends on one thing: their bike being on the road. We're looking for a leader who treats that as a personal mission.

At Wahu, we design, build, and finance electric two-wheelers that put cleaner, more affordable transport within reach of riders across Ghana and beyond. As our fleet scales, reliability is the foundation of everything we promise — to riders, to BoltFood, and to every partner moving goods and people on our bikes.

The Head of Maintenance will own that foundation.

What you'll do:

1. Lead our end-to-end maintenance function — service requests, preventive maintenance, root-cause analysis
2. Build the commercial strategy for our third-party maintenance partner network across our regions
3. Manage warranty providers, spare parts dealers, and the data feedback loop into our product
4. Own fleet utilisation rate as your headline KPI — and drive the cross-functional plan to move it
5. Build and coach a high-performing team across in-house technicians and partner sites

What we're looking for:

1. 5+ years in automotive, motorcycle, or electric mobility — with real depth in maintenance or after-sales
2. A track record of scaling a service operation, ideally with third-party partners in the mix
3. Commercial instincts: you can structure a partner contract and negotiate a warranty claim with equal ease
4. Obsessive attention to detail and fluency with operational data
5. A degree in Mechanical, Automotive, Electrical Engineering, Operations — or the equivalent in earned experience

What we offer:

1. A senior seat in one of Africa's most ambitious electric mobility companies, with direct exposure to the executive team and board
2. Competitive base, performance-linked bonus, and full benefits
3. Real ownership of a function whose performance is felt by thousands of riders every day
4. A mission-driven team that values curiosity, accountability, and impact
