Role Summary
The Country Manager holds full responsibility for designing and executing Tivera's Kenya operations. Working closely with the founders, you will build — from scratch — a business model that delivers economic independence for rural youth and improved productivity for smallholder farmers. This is a builder role, not a manager of existing systems.
Key
in agriculture, rural finance, agritech, NGO, or vocational training
- Ability to own and track numbers (KPIs, P&L) and report clearly to leadership
Nice-to-Have
-
in rural youth employment, vocational training, or entrepreneurship support
- Background in agricultural mechanization or rural service delivery
- Knowledge of asset finance or microfinance operations
- Networks with farmer cooperatives or agricultural associations in Kenya
-
launching a startup or new business venture
- Ambition to grow into a co-leadership role as the business scales
The Ideal Candidate
You genuinely hold both "I want to solve problems for farmers" and "I want to build a real business." You believe in rural youth as entrepreneurs, not just laborers, and are motivated to build the systems that make that possible. You move across geographies based on data and field insight, and can work as a peer with academic institutions and international organizations — while keeping business logic at the center.
