About Jumia

Jumia stands as the premier pan-African e-commerce ecosystem, revolutionizing how millions of consumers and tens of thousands of sellers interact online. Founded in Lagos, Nigeria, in 2012, Jumia has evolved into a comprehensive platform encompassing a vibrant online marketplace, a sophisticated proprietary logistics network (Jumia Logistics), and innovative payment solutions through JumiaPay. The company connects buyers with a vast array of products across categories like electronics, fashion, beauty, home goods, and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), while empowering numerous small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) to reach broader markets. As a publicly listed entity on the NYSE (JMIA), Jumia operates with a clear mission to improve the quality of everyday life in Africa through technology. Its journey has been marked by significant milestones, including introducing Black Friday to the continent, launching JumiaPay, and achieving the historic feat of being the first major African tech company to list on the NYSE in 2019. Despite undergoing restructuring and strategic market adjustments to focus on core profitable markets, Jumia remains committed to its African roots, evidenced by its recent $50 million capital raise anchored by the IFC. Nigeria continues to be a cornerstone of Jumia's growth strategy, showcasing its resilience and adaptability. The company's commitment extends to fostering a culture of innovation, entrepreneurial spirit, and local talent development, making it a compelling destination for ambitious professionals seeking to make a tangible impact on the continent's digital economy. Jumia is not just an e-commerce platform; it's a vital enabler of digital commerce and economic growth across Africa, driven by a vision of a connected and prosperous continent.
