Green Earth Country Lead - Nyeri Jobs in Kenya
The Role
Our Kenya venture is a complex operation with seven divisions, each producing different outputs that must work together as one. The Country Director is the single point of accountability for the venture's overall performance and for its alignment with Green Earth Group's head office.
You will turn the group's mission into a unified, smoothly running operation on the ground.
What You’ll Be Doing
Lead and coordinate all seven divisions of the Kenya venture so they perform as one operation.
Review performance across every division weekly, and identify the biggest obstacle to overall production.
Resolve obstacles directly, or route them to the right team, before they block delivery.
Resolve conflicts between divisions quickly and make sure decisions are recorded.
Approve resource allocations, budgets and hiring decisions within your authority.
Stop any activity that puts our mission, our people or our compliance at risk.
Give head office clear, honest and timely reporting, and escalate decisions that fall outside your authority.
Translate strategic direction from head office into clear operational priorities for every division head.
Build and develop strong division heads who perform their roles and escalate correctly.
Requirements
Key Responsibilities

Lead and develop local field teams and implementation partners.
Ensure operational consistency across multiple geographies.
Maintain strong relationships with farmer groups and community stakeholders.
Contribute to continuous improvement of field operations and program design.
Who We’re Looking For
This is a senior role. We are looking for an experienced executive who has led complex,
multi-team operations in the field, not from behind a desk.
Proven experience leading a country, regional or multi-division operation, ideally in agriculture, agroforestry, carbon, land restoration or rural development.
Strong track record managing large teams and large smallholder or community networks.
Hands-on operational mindset with a focus on execution and delivery.
Experience managing budgets, resources and cross-functional coordination.
Ability to solve problems independently in complex, fast-moving environments.
Honest, clear communicator who reports results as they are, good or bad.
Strong leadership skills, comfortable taking ownership and making decisions.
Strong knowledge of Kenya's agricultural and community landscape, including government and regulatory stakeholders.
Fluency in English; Swahili is a strong advantage.

Exposure to large-scale international projects.

Work with smallholder farmers and local communities.
