About Fuzu

Fuzu is the leading African career development and talent-matching platform dedicated to connecting talent to opportunity. With over 2.5 million registered users and 2,000+ employers, Fuzu leverages AI-driven technology to help young people build skills, access meaningful employment, and grow their careers both locally and globally.

Through our AI Powered Job Connections Program, Fuzu is implementing a two-year initiative designed to connect financially disadvantaged youth in Kenya—particularly young women, persons with disabilities, and refugees—to dignified and fulfilling work opportunities. By combining AI-powered job matching, personalized career coaching, targeted skilling, and light-touch employer engagement, the program removes systemic barriers to employment and supports thousands of young people in accessing sustainable income and long-term career pathways.

About the role

• Identify and map potential employer partners (SMEs, corporates, staffing firms, sector associations) aligned to program job pathways.
  

• Conduct structured outreach (calls, emails, visits, webinars) to introduce the Program and invite participation.
  

• Maintain a pipeline tracker (contacts, stage, next steps, commitments) and follow up consistently to move employers forward.
  

• Facilitate short employer engagements to address misconceptions about disadvantaged youth and demonstrate workforce potential (evidence, examples, success stories).
  

• Promote practical inclusive hiring approaches (fair screening, skills-based selection, supportive onboarding, reasonable accommodations).
  

• Help employers reflect on and reduce bias in recruitment practices (e.g., removing unnecessary barriers, reviewing job descriptions).
  

• Guide employers to curated awareness/education materials (information-only toolkits, briefs, micro-learnings) created by the Program team.
  

• Encourage participation in employer learning modules and community sessions (virtual or in-person).
  

• Collect employer questions and pain points and feed them back to the content/learning teams to improve resources.
  

• Support employers to define suitable roles for youth (internships, entry-level, apprenticeships, returnships) and clarify requirements.
  

• Coordinate with internal teams to support employer onboarding steps and ensure opportunities are captured accurately for publishing/verification.
  

• Encourage employers to consider non-job support, where feasible (mentorship, workplace visits, short talks, mock interviews, skills challenges).
  

• Log employer interactions and outcomes accurately in the CRM/tracker.
  

• Contribute to simple pulse checks (what changed, what barriers remain, what support is needed).
  

• Escalate any risks or concerns (e.g., questionable recruitment practices) to the appropriate QA/safeguarding processes.
  

• Active employer outreach pipeline with clearly documented stages and follow-ups.
  

• Employer awareness sessions (1:1 or group) delivered and documented.
  

• Increased number of employers who:
  

• agree to participate,
  

• complete readiness steps,
  

• and make opportunities available to youth.
  

• Employer insights shared monthly with the program team (barriers, misconceptions, content needs).
  

• Diploma/degree in Communications, Business, HR, Social Sciences, Community Development, or related field.
  

• 1–3 years of experience in outreach, customer success, partnerships support, community engagement, or programs.
  

• Comfort engaging employers professionally (phone, email, meetings); confidence presenting is a plus.
  

• Strong interpersonal skills: listening, empathy, persuasion without “selling.”
  

• Clear communication and facilitation; ability to explain inclusive hiring simply.
  

• Organized and disciplined follow-up; good documentation habits.
  

• Basic data literacy (trackers, CRM tools, forms).
  

• High integrity and sensitivity to youth protection and ethical engagement.
