- You will work with the CEO and COO to create and manage the right performance reporting systems that will enable company leadership (you included) to manage cost and productivity across the value chain.
- You will build and manage the business operations team that will report to you.

- You are a highly analytical problem-solver, with a proven track record of creating new systems and solving complex problems.
- You are a structured & experienced project manager, adept at leading cross-functional teams, taking initiatives from concept to implementation.
- You excel in data analysis and enjoy digging into data to find actionable insights
- You are an excellent people manager, who can motivate and grow the team reporting to you.
- You have a track record work working well with peers and managing ‘upwards’

You’ll join the leadership team of one of East Africa’s most successful growth-stage companies, playing a key role in our development into a major enterprise. You’ll learn first-hand how a thriving venture is operated, with the opportunity to expand your skills and responsibilities as your team and our company grows.
We believe this distinct and rare experience is the most valuable benefit we offer new leaders who join our team. In addition to this, you’ll earn a competitive salary and benefits package benchmarked against lean mid-sized companies. You’ll also be awarded stock options, allowing you to participate in the value you create as a leader of our team.
