Marketer

Role Overview

This is a hands-on marketing and business development position for someone who is equally comfortable running a social media calendar and standing at a product activation in a busy trading area. Working out of Ruiru under the Commercial Manager, you will be the person pushing the brand into new neighbourhoods and turning everyday conversations with prospects into paying, repeat customers. Your output directly shapes how quickly the business grows its customer base and how well its marketing shilling is spent.

Key Responsibilities

• Plan and run both physical and digital campaigns that put the brand in front of new audiences across the surrounding region.
• Spend time in the market gathering real feedback on what customers want, what competitors are charging, and where gaps exist that the business can move into.
• Organise activations, trade shows, and promotional drives that let customers touch, test, and buy the products directly.
• Hunt for new business, screen incoming enquiries, and shepherd interested buyers through to signed, repeat commercial accounts.
• Keep the client database current — every call, visit, quotation, and pipeline movement recorded so nothing slips through.
• Run the company's social media pages: draft posts, schedule them, answer direct messages, and keep track of how audiences are responding.
• Stay in touch with existing customers after the sale to encourage reorders and referrals.
• Send the Commercial Manager weekly and monthly summaries covering campaign results, closed leads, sales numbers, and what each promotional spend returned.

Requirements & Qualifications

• Diploma or bachelor's degree in Marketing, Business Administration, Public Relations, Communications, or a comparable discipline.
• Demonstrable track record in field marketing, direct selling, brand activation work, or managing business social media accounts.
• Comfortable using Word, Excel, and PowerPoint for reports and record keeping, plus day-to-day fluency with the major social platforms.
• Persuasive communicator who can pitch, negotiate, and hold a room — whether it is a shop owner or a group at an event.
• Self-driven and target-focused, able to work productively outdoors without close supervision.
• Strong personal organisation, since the week splits between client visits, content scheduling, and reporting deadlines.

What We Offer / Why Join

• A monthly retainer of KSh 40,000, topped up by a commission structure tied to the business you bring in — the more you convert, the more you take home.
• A full-time, on-site role combining field operations with office-based campaign work in Ruiru, Kiambu County.
• Direct line to the Commercial Manager, giving you visibility on strategy rather than being one voice in a large department.
• The chance to build a regional market from the ground up within a growing commercial and consumer services enterprise.
• Applicants already living in or around Ruiru, Kahawa Sukari, or Juja are especially encouraged to apply, given the field nature of the work.

How to apply: Send an updated CV that highlights specific marketing and sales results you have delivered, and be ready to talk through campaigns you have run and targets you have hit.
