This role will lead marketing efforts across the organization's regional footprint, helping shape how its various brands are positioned individually and as part of the wider business ecosystem across Kenya and other countries of operation.
Events are a core part of how our client engages clients and the market, and this role will own event management end-to-end—from initial concept and planning through speaker sourcing, vendor coordination, and on-the-day execution.

- Coordinate and align the work of the SEO and social media teams into a unified communications strategy while stepping in to execute directly when required.
- Oversee brand positioning and messaging across the group's portfolio, ensuring consistency while respecting each brand's unique identity.
- Manage content development across digital channels, marketing collateral, and client-facing materials.
- Collaborate with sales and business unit leaders to align marketing initiatives with commercial objectives.
- Track and report on marketing performance and event outcomes across channels and regions.
- Manage relationships with external vendors, agencies, speakers, and media partners.
- Own the marketing budget and report on campaign and event ROI.
