Current opportunities

This is a unique opportunity to take ownership of a diverse and evolving web ecosystem at the heart of the Pharo Foundation’s work. Spanning our main Foundation site, schools platform, Ventures portfolio, and internal intranet, the role offers the chance to shape how Pharo presents itself to global audiences while ensuring our digital platforms remain dynamic, accessible, and aligned with our mission. Sitting at the intersection of Communications and IT, you will play a central role in connecting storytelling, technology, and user experience. In this role, we expect fluency with AI tools. A significant portion of this role, including content drafts, image editing, SEO audits, accessibility reviews, copy iteration, can be accelerated with the right tools. We want someone who already works this way.

As our work grows, so too will our digital presence. This role offers the opportunity not only to maintain and improve existing sites, but also to contribute creatively to new builds and redesigns, working independently and alongside external partners. It’s a hands-on position for someone who enjoys both the technical and design sides of web management, and who is excited by the prospect of building and evolving platforms that support meaningful impact across multiple sectors.

We are seeking a highly organised, ambitious, and business-minded individual to join the Office of the Chief Operations Officer (COO) and support the delivery of key operational priorities across a complex, multi-country organisation.

This role focuses on owning and coordinating central operational initiatives, ensuring consistent standards, strong execution, and effective collaboration across teams and geographies. The successful candidate will work closely with the COO and country teams to drive progress on priority programmes, support cross-functional initiatives, and strengthen operational discipline across the organisation.

This is a hands-on, execution-focused role at the centre of the organisation, combining project management, programme ownership, and operational coordination. It offers strong exposure to senior leadership and is well suited to a high-performing individual looking to build broad operational experience in a fast-paced environment.

We are seeking enthusiastic and dedicated Summer Program English Teachers to support students from kindergarten to Grade 5 during the 2026 Summer Program. 

This program focuses on strengthening students’ English fluency, communication skills, and confidence through engaging, interactive, and age-appropriate teaching methods. Teachers will play a key role in creating a fun, safe, and structured learning environment, supporting both academic growth and social development. 

The ideal candidates will be adaptable educators who can tailor their teaching approaches to different age groups, from early childhood learners to upper primary students. 

A Social Media Manager at Pharo Foundation is responsible for executing the organisation’s digital voice across platforms, ensuring that content clearly communicates impact, programmes, and strategic priorities. This role will focus on planning and producing high-quality multimedia content, managing posting schedules, and maintaining consistent branding and messaging across countries and projects. The role also involves analysing performance data to refine strategy, growing and engaging online audiences, and supporting key campaigns, partnerships, and fundraising efforts through targeted social media content.

Pharo Foundation offers an opportunity for individuals seeking a high-impact, execution-focused experience at the intersection of development and investment.

This is not a traditional internship. It is an opportunity to:

• Work on high-priority strategic and operational initiatives with real organisational impact.
• Gain hands-on exposure to decision-making in a fast-growing, mission-driven organisation.
• Contribute to projects across multiple countries and sectors in complex, dynamic environments.

This Intern will operate at the centre of a growing organisation, supporting critical initiatives across geographies and functions. The role provides direct exposure to senior leadership, cross-functional execution, and problem-solving in complex environments.

This role will play a pivotal role in growing our teams from our headquarters in Nairobi. This position cuts across the organisation with a focus on bringing in the absolute best people at our organisation in terms of talent acquisition and developing our people through talent development initiatives. 

​Key responsibilities include building talent and leadership pipelines, strengthening learning and development (L&D) processes, compliance, planning, and enhancing employee experience and culture to cultivate a high-caliber, diverse team enriched with varied experiences and backgrounds.
