Head of Country- Nyahururu

You will turn the group's mission into a unified, smoothly running operation on the ground.

• Lead and coordinate all seven divisions of the Kenya venture so they perform as one operation
  
• Review performance across every division weekly, and identify the biggest obstacle to overall production
  
• Resolve obstacles directly, or route them to the right team, before they block delivery
  
• Resolve conflicts between divisions quickly and make sure decisions are recorded
  
• Approve resource allocations, budgets and hiring decisions within your authority
  
• Stop any activity that puts our mission, our people or our compliance at risk
  
• Give head office clear, honest and timely reporting, and escalate decisions that fall outside your authority
  
• Translate strategic direction from head office into clear operational priorities for every division head
  
• Build and develop strong division heads who perform their roles and escalate correctly
  

• Build and scale a high-performing outgrower system across project regions
  
• Take ownership of farmer network performance and delivery outcomes
  
• Establish clear processes for onboarding, training, and monitoring
  
• Lead and develop local field teams and implementation partners
  
• Ensure operational consistency across multiple geographies
  
• Maintain strong relationships with farmer groups and community stakeholders
  
• Contribute to continuous improvement of field operations and program design
  

This is a senior role. We are looking for an experienced executive who has led complex, multi-team operations in the field, not from behind a desk.

• Proven experience leading a country, regional or multi-division operation, ideally in agriculture, agroforestry, carbon, land restoration or rural development
  
• Strong track record managing large teams and large smallholder or community networks
  
• Hands-on operational mindset with a focus on execution and delivery
  
• Experience managing budgets, resources and cross-functional coordination
  
• Ability to solve problems independently in complex, fast-moving environments
  
• Honest, clear communicator who reports results as they are, good or bad
  
• Strong leadership skills, comfortable taking ownership and making decisions
  
• Strong knowledge of Kenya's agricultural and community landscape, including government and regulatory stakeholders
  

• Fluency in English; Swahili is a strong advantage
