ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

The organization has invested in East Africa's only HP Indigo B2 digital press — a game-changing capability that brings high-quality, short-run, variable data, and personalised printing to the market at a scale and quality level previously unavailable in Kenya. This role is dedicated to unlocking the commercial potential of that investment.

WHAT MAKES THIS ROLE UNIQUE

HP Indigo B2 — Only in Kenya

No competitor in Kenya operates a B2-format HP Indigo. You are selling a capability that simply does not exist elsewhere in the market.

B2 Format Advantage

B2 sheet size (500mm x 700mm) enables larger formats, more pages per pass, and packaging applications beyond the reach of standard digital presses.

Variable Data & Personalisation

Personalised direct mail, numbered certificates, bespoke packaging, loyalty cards — use cases that conventional offset cannot match.

Short Runs, Fast Turnaround

No minimum run sizes, no plate costs, rapid turnaround. Ideal for SMEs, startups, agencies, and event-driven campaigns.

Develop and execute a prospecting plan targeting corporates, agencies, SMEs, NGOs, publishers, and packaging buyers.

Educate prospects on the capabilities and commercial advantages of B2 digital print — many clients will be encountering this technology for the first time.

Prepare and present tailored proposals and print samples, converting first-time buyers into repeat accounts.

Manage the full sales cycle from prospecting to briefing, quoting, follow-up, and account management.

Collaborate with the production and pre-press teams to ensure client briefs are technically accurate and deliverable.

Existing network in Nairobi's corporate, agency, or SME community is a significant advantage.

Interest in or exposure to print, design, marketing, or technology is valued.
