• Be the guardian of Kenchic's brand voice- across every channel, campaign, and conversation.
• Lead how Kenchic tells its sustainability and ESG story - translating our purpose and commitments into communications that are honest, compelling. and built for the long term.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:

• 3-5 years of active experience in PR, communications, and digital (FMCG or consumer brand experience is a strong plus). A degree in Communications, Marketing, Journalism, or a related field.
• Excellent writing skills - you can write a press release, a caption, MD quote, and a social post, and each one sounds right for its format.
• Solid understanding of East African media landscape and digital platforms.

• You can work independently but you're collaborative by nature, you ask questions, take feedback graciously, and bring ideas to the table.
