SUN FINANCE is a Riga-based fintech company providing financial services across four continents. Founded in 2017, we’ve grown beyond the startup phase—but we’ve kept its energy and innovation, now strengthened by stability and a great work environment. Our success-driven team thrives on collaboration, ambition, and shared growth. And we’re not slowing down.

As part of our continued growth, we are expanding into a new business direction — a phone financing operation in Uganda.

This is a unique opportunity for a proven leader who thrives in high-growth environments and can combine strategic leadership with hands-on execution to develop a nationwide retail partner network, supported by the backing and stability of a large, established international company. Join us and be part of what’s next!
