Business, strategic management Jobs in Kenya

We are on the mission to bring down the cost of everyday living across Africa. We are very early stage and in stealth mode but have already raised a $2.5M+ pre-seed round from leading global VCs and built a small, rock-star team. We are launching the MVP of our product which will enable B2C customers to purchase low-cost everyday essentials online in an innovative way. We strongly believe this will change the distribution landscape across Africa - and more importantly, materially increase disposable income for consumers.

You might be excited about joining us if...

• You want to tackle one of the biggest problems on the continent - bringing down the cost of everyday living for the average African consumer.
  

• You are a builder and want to help shape a company from the earliest stages.
  

• You enjoy a high-paced environment with lots of ownership, flexibility and growth opportunity.
  

• You want to work with a strong team that has scaled some of the biggest businesses in Africa.
  

You may NOT be excited about joining us if...

• You need a high level of structure to perform at your best. We are building the plane whilst flying.
  

• You prefer a 9-5 job. We have big ambitions and demanding customers.
  

• You enjoy working out of a nice office. We love spending time in the field with our customers.
