Marketing Officer at Enviu

• As Marketing Officer, you’ll help shape and execute Enviu East Africa’s marketing strategy. You are a marketing chameleon. Part strategist, part storyteller, part get-stuff-done machine. You’ll zoom out to position Enviu Agrifood as a thought leader and zoom right back in to craft content and propositions that drive engagement.
• You thrive in motion: dynamic environments, fast pivots, and big ideas don’t scare you. They energize you. You’re the kind of marketer who doesn’t wait for a brief but builds one, who connects the dots before others do, and who loves turning impact into stories that make people lean in and say:“Tell me more.”
