Summary
We are looking for a hands-on Operations & Sales Executive, based in Kitale, to keep our coffee and honey products moving smoothly from supplier to shelf, and to support day-to-day sales. The role involves frequent travel to other towns to visit suppliers and customers, so it suits someone comfortable being on the move rather than at a single desk. This is a coordination and execution role, not a senior management position — you will follow processes and escalate decisions on pricing, new suppliers, and major marketing spend to the founders.
Description
Key responsibilities;
Product & Supplier Coordination
- Track the flow of coffee and honey from suppliers through packaging to finished product.
- Monitor stock levels and flag shortages or delays before they become problems.
- Follow up with existing coffee, honey, packaging and branding suppliers on order status, quality and delivery timelines.
- Keep simple, accurate supplier and stock records.
Sales Support
- Handle day-to-day sales of packaged coffee and honey products to existing and new customers.
- Follow up on orders, payments and repeat business.
- Post and maintain product content on social media and marketplaces (using provided branding assets — not creating brand strategy).
- Share basic customer and competitor feedback with management.
Basic Records
- Keep simple records of purchases, sales and stock in an Excel sheet or the system provided.
- Prepare a short weekly update on sales, stock and supplier status.
Education
Diploma in Business, Sales & Marketing, Supply Chain, or a related field.
More Details on Experience
- 2-3 years of experience in sales, operations, or FMCG/food products.
- Comfortable with Excel/Google Sheets and basic record-keeping.
- Based in or willing to relocate to Kitale, with regular travel to other towns for supplier and customer visits.
- Comfortable with frequent travel — this is not a desk-based, single-location role.
More Details on Skills
- Organised, reliable, and comfortable following up with people (suppliers and customers) without much supervision.
Terms And Conditions
What we offer;
- Monthly Salary: KSh 50,000
- Commission on sales — structure to be finalized, but confirmed as part of the package.
- Hands-on exposure across operations, supply and sales in a growing consumer products business.
- Room to grow into a more senior operations or sales role as the business scales.
