About Enviu

Enviu is a non-profit venture-building studio on a mission to create a better world. Since 2004, we’ve been pioneering innovative, circular solutions that address global environmental and social challenges at their root. Today we have a portfolio of over 20 ventures that show a better way of doing things is possible.

In Kenya, Enviu Agrifood tackles agricultural challenges by building ventures that cut food waste, restore productivity, and empower farmers with circular, sustainable solutions that make food systems more resilient and equitable.

About the job

No two days at Enviu are the same — and that’s exactly how you like it. One morning you’re brainstorming a go-to-market strategy with a venture builder over coffee, in the afternoon you’re creating a campaign to win over funders in a call with your international colleagues and you finish the day polishing a headline for a blog that makes complex sound… well, exciting.

As Marketing Officer, you’ll help shape and execute Enviu East Africa’s marketing strategy. You are a marketing chameleon. Part strategist, part storyteller, part get-stuff-done machine. You’ll zoom out to position Enviu Agrifood as a thought leader and zoom right back in to craft content and propositions that drive engagement.

You thrive in motion: dynamic environments, fast pivots, and big ideas don’t scare you. They energize you. You’re the kind of marketer who doesn’t wait for a brief but builds one, who connects the dots before others do, and who loves turning impact into stories that make people lean in and say:“Tell me more.”
