Job Description
About Sabi
Sabi exists to transform the way the world sources African commodities. We unlock the full potential of African trade by empowering informal merchants with the infrastructure, technology, financing, and services they need to scale and meet global demand.
Our mission is to bring transparency, reliability, and efficiency to fragmented commodity supply chains — connecting global buyers directly with the most qualified commodity producers on the continent.
We do this by offering an end-to-end operating system for trade — built for Africa’s realities but designed to meet or exceed global standards. Sabi helps merchants, traders, and buyers move goods faster, finance growth, ensure quality, and unlock opportunity—even amid political or market uncertainty.
