Current opportunities

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.
