Job Summary
We’re looking for customer-obsessed Field Agents to be embedded at partner hospitals to drive seamless adoption of Chapa’s digital payments. You’ll work side-by-side with hospital cashiers and front-desk teams to initiate and reconcile payments via Chapa, guide patients through paying digitally, and ensure every transaction is fast, secure, and correctly recorded.

- Coach cashiers on Chapa flows (refunds, reversals, voids, split payments, offline fallback).
- Conduct quick refreshers and micro-trainings during shift changes; share tips to reduce queue times.
- Ensure job aids, QR stands, signage, and SOPs are visible, up-to-date, and in the right desks.

- Handle basic objections (e.g., data charges, security concerns) with clear explanations of Chapa benefits and safety.
- Protect patient privacy and confidentiality at all times.
- Enforce correct tender mapping (digital vs cash), receipt issuance, and end-of-day cutover procedures.
- Verify device hygiene: app updates, login access, printer paper/ink, power banks, network connectivity.
- Adhere to hospital safety rules and Chapa policies, including data protection and KYC/AML requirements.
- Build trusted relationships with cashier supervisors and finance teams; become the first point-of-contact for payment queries.
- Capture feedback from hospital teams and patients; relay insights to Chapa product and ops.
- Log and triage incidents (failed payments, duplicates, settlement delays) using the designated ticketing tool.
- Coordinate with Chapa Support/Engineering for investigation; keep stakeholders updated until closure.
