Senior Research & Development Manager Jobs in Kenya

Our Client is an award-winning social venture that builds healthy, prosperous communities by making hygienic sanitation accessible and affordable in Africa’s urban informal settlements.

Our systems-based approach to solving the sanitation crisis involves five key steps: we build a dense network of low-cost, high-quality waterless sanitation facilities – called Fresh Life Toilets.

We franchise the toilets to community residents, who run them as commercial toilets; landlords, who offer them as a value-added service to their tenants; and schools, to ensure children always have access to a safe sanitation option.

We provide critical support services – such as access to finance, business analytics, training and aspirational marketing and branding.

We collect the waste regularly and safely remove it from the community for treatment. We convert the waste into valuable end products, such as organic fertilizer and insect-based animal protein, which we sell to Kenyan farms.

We are an increasingly sophisticated, highly intricate organization with many moving parts.

Our client seeks accomplished, driven individuals who will make substantive contributions to the organization.

We currently seek a Senior Research and Development Manager who will work in our New Technology Commercialization (NTCO) Team.

This team is responsible for ensuring we are maximizing the value we are getting from the organic waste sources.

This will include the prioritisation and tactical execution of research efforts, development of new and exciting technologies, supporting with troubleshooting in ramping and scaled operations and building the talent pipeline necessary to deliver on each of these.
