Turaco is a micro-insurtech company changing healthcare financing in emerging markets. We provide simple, affordable health and life insurance to low-income earners, distributing our products through partnerships with leading businesses in Kenya and Uganda. Our mission is to act as a safety net, freeing people from the fear of health-related financial shocks.

The Account Manager is the steward of Turaco’s partnerships in Kenya, responsible for nurturing relationships, driving growth within existing accounts, and ensuring every partner experiences exceptional value from our collaboration.

This role is for someone who thrives on building trust, solving problems, and creating win-win outcomes. You will confidently sit across from a bank CEO to present performance insights and, the next day, train field officers in a rural branch with empathy and clarity.
