Tushop People Operations Associate Jobs in Kenya

Tushop People Operations Associate Jobs in Kenya



Who we are:

Tushop is made up of an impact-driven team striving to build something of value in this world. We persistently dream big, yet are energized by the small. Some may know us as a social commerce company, but ultimately we’rea team making food and groceries cheaper for our customers, with added convenience, and helping farmers and manufacturers grow. We do this by aggregating grocery orders from individuals in a community.

We then link overall demand directly with manufacturers and farmers to supply them, bypassing the other links in the supply chain (distributors, wholesalers, and retailers). This way, the supplier gets to learn more about their customers, the end customer gets their food and goods at up to 30% off (and delivered for free), and the Community Leader –who helps collect the orders -- gets rewarded for making the magic happen.

And we’re setting out to do this across Africa! Tushop is at an early but exciting stage – supported by a cadre of eminent investors. What we do has great impact– you can wake up in the morning believing that every minute of working helps people get food more cheaply and conveniently.

We help farmers and suppliers make products people want. We empower stay-at-home moms without formal employment to make incomes on the side and feel pride in how they support their communities and neighbours.

We help young entrepreneurs who run cyber cafes, beauty shops, and kiosks to provide more value to their customers. We help anyone who buys food to be able to do so more cheaply and conveniently. And we help our own employees learn what they want to learn, build what they want to build, and become who they want to become (and get paid doing so!).

We realize that sometimes doing what’s right might not be the most popular choice. We also realize that we might not always get it right, and in such instances, we take pride in course correcting.
