Strategy & Policy

K sh 200,000 – 340,000 gross / month

Openings: 1 Location: Nairobi – Garden City Business Park (Thika Rd, Exit 7) Overview: Driving projects from concept to completion is about more than deadlines; it’s about creating a system where execution becomes predictable, visible, and repeatable. In this role, you’ll standardize delivery across technology, operations, and commercial workstreams, making sure every initiative, big or small, hits its intended mark and delivers real business value. Expect to architect frameworks that actually work. Gating processes, RAID logs, benefits baselines, and resource planning will be your daily toolkit structures that embed discipline without stifling creativity or agility. The emphasis here is on clarity and impact over slide-ware: simple templates, consistent cadence, and actionable reporting are king. Mentoring PMs, auditing projects, and surfacing risks before they snowball will be part of your regular rhythm. You’ll coordinate across teams, manage dependencies, and leverage tools like Jira, Asana, Smartsheet, or other PPM systems to make project tracking intuitive and transparent. Think of yourself as the connective tissue keeping initiatives aligned, progressing, and accountable. Our client values leaders who turn strategy into tangible outcomes. You’ll chair portfolio forums, track benefits realization, prepare executive-ready packs, and recover at-risk initiatives. Alongside operational rigor, you’ll coach teams, challenge assumptions, and embed a culture where delivery is not just promised, it’s reliably achieved.
