  • Own and execute branch network expansion across Kenya, identifying new locations and scaling the point-of-sale footprint based on data and operational readiness.
  • Monitor, analyze, and interpret commercial results, making timely, data-driven decisions to drive sales performance and operational efficiency.

Operations, inventory & risk

  • Oversee day-to-day sales operations, logistics, and inventory management across the branch network to ensure stock availability and efficient asset flow.
  • Own the sales operations governance framework, ensuring compliance, control effectiveness, and risk discipline across the sales value chain.
  • Manage commercial and credit risk at the point of sale, balancing growth velocity with portfolio quality and risk appetite.
  • Set standards for asset maintenance, valuation, recovery, and resale to optimize unit economics and drive repossession turnaround and recovery outcomes.

Performance, capability & cross-functional leadership

  • Own sales enablement and readiness, ensuring onboarding, training, and performance standards support sustained productivity across branches.
  • Own the sales performance framework, including targets, KPIs, dashboards, forecasting, and executive reporting.
  • Partner with IT, Product, Risk, and Marketing to scale automation, improve data quality, and align execution with commercial priorities.

What We’re Looking For

Experience & leadership

  • Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Marketing, Operations, Engineering, or a related field.
  • 6+ years’ experience in sales, commercial operations, distribution, or asset-backed businesses, with at least 3 years leading large or distributed sales teams.
  • Experience operating in high-growth, high-complexity environments with large, geographically distributed sales networks.
  • Proven track record of delivering sales targets and growing market share across a multi-branch or multi-channel network.

Commercial & analytical capability

  • Strong commercial acumen with a clear understanding of how sales execution drives revenue, margin, and capital efficiency.
  • Advanced analytical and decision-making capability; comfortable working with data, trade-offs, and ambiguity.
  • Strong working knowledge of ERP systems and sales performance reporting.

What We Offer
