Current opportunities
Research and Evaluation Analyst
We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled Research and Evaluation Analyst to join our team. This role is central to generating evidence that informs program design, implementation, and learning. The Analyst will lead the design and execution of rigorous research studies, support evaluation activities, and collaborate with internal teams to ensure that insights from research are effectively integrated into program strategies and decision-making.
Monitoring and Evaluation officer
We’re looking for a detail-oriented and proactive Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) professional with strong technical skills in field monitoring, data collection, and team supervision. The ideal candidate is solution-focused, comfortable coordinating field teams, and experienced in using digital survey tools such as Kobo Collect or SurveyCTO. You will play a key role in ensuring high-quality, reliable data collection for both development programs and market research studies, supporting program performance monitoring and organizational learning.
Operations Lead, Arts Education Initiative
We are seeking an exceptional Operations Lead with commercial acumen and entrepreneurial spirit to help design and operationalise a new flagship post-secondary initiative in creative education in Kenya from the ground up. The project will focus on nurturing talent and creativity in fashion, textiles, material culture, and fine art, areas that connect creativity, craftsmanship, and enterprise.
This is a rare opportunity to take a high-potential concept from blueprint to launch, shaping everything from business model and operational systems to staffing, partnerships, and student experience. The role requires a builder: someone who can move fluidly between strategic thinking and hands-on execution, able to develop networks and understand the stakeholder and competitive landscape. And most importantly a driven individual who is motivated by the challenge of creating something new from the ground up.
The ideal candidate will combine analytical and operational rigour (MBA or equivalent experience) with an appreciation for the creative and cultural sectors. They will be highly organised, comfortable navigating ambiguity, and energised by the pace of a start-up environment. Success in this role will require a hands-on, proactive approach, at times working beyond regular hours or going the extra mile to build relationships and maintain momentum during critical phases.
Laboratory Assistant
Are you passionate about science and love bringing experiments to life? Pharo Secondary School in Sheikh is looking for a dedicated, skilled, and dependable Laboratory Assistant to join our dynamic Science Department.
In this exciting role, you will support Biology, Chemistry, and Physics teachers by preparing and supervising experiments, managing laboratory operations, and assisting with practical sessions or teaching demonstrations that make science engaging and inspiring.
If you are enthusiastic about education, committed to excellence, and eager to inspire the next generation of scientists, we would love to hear from you.
Country Director Ethiopia
We are seeking an exceptional Country Director for Ethiopia, a visionary leader who can combine the heart of a philanthropist with the strategic and commercial discipline of a chief executive. This individual will lead over 280 colleagues and oversee the Foundation’s full Ethiopia portfolio, spanning education, water, and productivity initiatives, as well as for-profit ventures.
This is not a traditional NGO leadership role. It is the equivalent of running a multi-sector enterprise combining schools (from fully subsidised to fee-paying models), water interventions that unlock community livelihoods, and major commercial investments such as the Pharo Edible Oil Plant and a forthcoming investment in a health business.
Teaching Interns
We are seeking recent graduates to join our academics team as Teaching Interns from January 2026. This paid internship offers aspiring educators hands-on classroom experience and the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to learners’ academic and personal growth, while preparing for a long-term career in teaching.
