Who we are
Komaza is revolutionizing African forestry by unlocking the potential for small farmers to serve booming wood markets. With roots in San Francisco and headquarters in coastal Kenya, we have planted over 2 million trees with more than 6,000 farmers, making us Kenya’s largest commercial tree planter. By leveraging farmers’ contribution of land and labor, Komaza can access effectively limitless land and establish a hectare of trees for far less than big plantations – a powerful disruption to the traditional forestry model. We have been recognized with numerous awards and investments, including Forbes, Ashoka, Mulago Foundation, and Novastar Ventures.
About the team
Data plays a critical role at Komaza - by putting a smartphone in the hand of every single Field Extension agent, we are able to collect and analyze real-time information on all aspects of our value chain from Planting to Sales. Working in close collaboration with the Technology Development team (who create custom software to collect and store this data) Business Intelligence is the central nervous system of information at Komaza, and is tasked with designing new visualization tools, dashboards and human systems for leveraging data in our day-to-day operations. A core focus of the department is defining and managing the seams between our diverse data systems. Business Intelligence also runs our internal data science center, and is constantly asking and answering the question: how can we push the limits of using data and analysis to deliver better, faster, more effective service to our farmers and customers?
About this role
Our Data Analysts are tasked with designing better, smarter systems for data monitoring and insights development. We are seeking classically trained quant jockeys who are keen on applying their skill set to creating innovative solutions to our complex data challenges. These could include new approaches to organizing and validating our farmer data, modeling our tree assets, or tracking transaction flows from harvest to farmer payment. At Komaza, Data Analysts are like Product Managers for data - you will have complete ownership of a datastream and will be responsible for getting buy-in from, collaborating, and sharing insights with an eclectic set of stakeholders along that stream. The right candidate must also enjoy people management, and will play a leadership role overseeing the officers of our growing team of data administrators.
