The Role
Our Kenya venture is a complex operation with seven divisions, each producing different outputs that must work together as one. The Country Director is the single point of accountability for the venture's overall performance and for its alignment with Green Earth Group's head office.
You will turn the group's mission into a unified, smoothly running operation on the ground.
What You’ll Be Doing
Lead and coordinate all seven divisions of the Kenya venture so they perform as one operation
Review performance across every division weekly, and identify the biggest obstacle to overall production
Resolve obstacles directly, or route them to the right team, before they block delivery
Resolve conflicts between divisions quickly and make sure decisions are recorded
Approve resource allocations, budgets and hiring decisions within your authority
Stop any activity that puts our mission, our people or our compliance at risk
Give head office clear, honest and timely reporting, and escalate decisions that fall outside your authority
Translate strategic direction from head office into clear operational priorities for every division head
Build and develop strong division heads who perform their roles and escalate correctly

Hands-on operational mindset with a focus on execution and delivery
