Openings: 1 Location: Nairobi – Dagoretti Corner (Kabarnet Rd) Overview: Policy isn’t just paperwork; it’s the invisible hand shaping how business moves, how products launch, and how compliance stays ahead of regulators.

Commitments, deadlines, and stakeholder expectations all flow through your calendar and you’ll make them manageable. In short, this is a role for someone who thrives at the intersection of law, strategy, and business impact. Your work shapes not just compliance, but the path the company takes in regulated markets, influencing policy while keeping operations agile.
