Latest Kenyan Jobs
Account Manager at Spire Education.
Spire is a small team with a big vision: reinventing higher education from scratch.
What would it look like if we drew on the latest in learning science, pedagogy and technology? We think it would blend world-class online content, learning by doing, not by listening to endless lectures, & high-quality offline coaching and instruction.
We launched in Kenya in early 2014 and we aim to be reaching tens of thousands of people across East Africa within five years.
This is a unique opportunity to help shape the direction of a rapidly growing company and lay the foundations for success over the next 10 years. As such, we’re only interested in highly motivated, very driven self-starters, full of great ideas and willing to work very hard – if you’re looking for lots of micromanagement, this isn’t the job for you.
In this role, you will work with our Director of Business Development to lead our engagement with business leaders, government, and educational partners. You will have the chance to engage with senior executives, help us develop new systems, products and strategies, and be a key part of our management overall.
Account Manager Responsibilities:
- Lead ongoing engagement with our partners to make sure Spire stays true to our By Employers, For Employers mission
- Support development, design, and testing of new products for our existing network of employers
- Manage data systems to ensure we track progress against our goals with our partners
- Collect and summarize feedback from partners and use it to help shape our long-term strategy and decisions
Competencies Required:
- Detail oriented: You actually care whether your emails are spelled properly and capitalised correctly. You notice when other people don’t do this. It will annoy you to see small details not taken care of
- Analytical: You might not be a winning statistician but you can think logically about targets you & the team should work to meet and how you can set up systems to measure those targets
- A great communicator: You can inspire and provide clarity through a compelling email or a short conversation.
- You listen more than you talk and can convince anyone, from a student to a CEO, of your vision through a quick pitch, whether it’s in a formal presentation or a chance encounter.
- A people person: You don’t need to be the world’s biggest extrovert but you will definitely like meeting people and building new relationships
About Spire:
- We move fast and work hard – we are looking for people who want to do what it takes to help change the world, not those who want a simple 9 to 5 job
- We’re taking on one of the biggest problems in the world: youth unemployment is soaring and Kenyan businesses are starved for skills
- We are a lifestyle, not a job: you will be stretched every day and learn more here in a week than you would anywhere else in a year
- We have built a culture on open communication and thus all staff must be ready to receive and give feedback to other staff members
