Job description
Location: Nairobi, Kenya + International Travel
Package: Competitive + Options + Benefits
Reports: Azuri CEO
About the role
The Azuri distribution channel must be built by bringing together partners with key skills and access to a customer base, then made efficient using Azuri's data. This is similar to a franchise model but is a close relationship where, for larger partners, Azuri places Azuri staff within the partner organisations. The typical profile of an external distribution partner is that of a large consumer business in Africa ($50 million+ turnover) and has direct reach into rural communities.
The role calls for someone with experience of creating and scaling, end to end distribution supply chains, particularly service supply chains and experience of consumer lead distribution, ideally in Africa. This may be for products such as FMCG, telecoms, insurance or agricultural offerings, but importantly must reflect Azuri's need for a service supply chain not a retail product supply chain.
Role requirement
Note: this is a “hands-on” role where the leader will be running a small, high calibre team and interacting closely with the local country operations. The successful candidate will be required to have a detailed understanding of the processes and contribute directly to their implementation on the ground, while at the same time being able to contribute actively to the Senior Management Team and other parts of the organisation.
Skills requirement
Education
Degree educated and possibly a higher business degree (e.g MBA)
Expectation of significant travel, primarily in Africa, averaging 2 weeks per month
