ABOUT THE ROLE

Our client is a business technology solutions group headquartered in Nairobi and operating across multiple countries, serving healthcare, finance, education, hospitality, and real estate clients. Its portfolio spans customer experience management, visitor management, electronic security, and digital signage solutions, delivered through a family of distinct brands under one group. On their behalf, we are looking for a Marketing & Communications Lead to own and elevate the brand voice and communications strategy across the group and its portfolio of companies. You will lead marketing across the regional footprint, shaping how each brand is positioned individually and as part of the wider group, in Kenya and in the other countries of operation.

Events are a core part of how the group engages clients and the market, and this role owns event management end-to-end from concept and planning through speaker sourcing, vendor coordination, and on-the-day execution. Dedicated teams already handle functions such as SEO and social media; your job is to coordinate them into one coherent communications strategy. This is not a purely oversight position: ownership means being willing to step in and execute hands-on wherever the work requires it, not simply directing others.

We are looking for a dynamic and strategic professional who can drive our client's marketing and communication initiatives while supporting the organization's growth objectives.
