Community & Partnerships Lead

Full-time · Nairobi (on the ground)

Our learners will not come from ad campaigns — they will come from people: a classmate who finished AI Foundations, a career office that recommends us, a WhatsApp group that keeps a cohort going. You will build that human engine: campus ambassadors, university partnerships, and learning communities across Kenya.

What you will do

• Build and run the campus ambassador network across Kenyan universities and colleges — recruit, train, equip, celebrate.
• Own our WhatsApp learning communities: the gated course groups today, structured learning cohorts tomorrow.
• Land university and TVET partnerships that put Hekima AI in front of entire student bodies.
• Run scrappy, high-energy events: campus demos, career-office sessions, AI-literacy days.
• Be the voice of learners inside the company — what they struggle with, what they love, what they need next.
• Lay the groundwork for the B2B and government pipeline: counties, employers, and institutions that will buy at scale.

What we are looking for

• 3+ years in community building, partnerships, business development, or student-facing roles in Kenya.
• A community, program, or partnership you grew — with numbers you can show us.
• Excellent communication in both English and Kiswahili, written and on stage.
• Equally comfortable in a campus lecture hall, a WhatsApp group of 200, and a dean’s office.
• Organised by default: pipelines, follow-ups, and reporting that happen without being chased.

Nice to have (not required)

• An existing network in Kenyan universities or career offices.
• Ed-tech, NGO, or youth-program experience.
• Content and social-media instincts — you can make a campus event travel online.
• Experience managing WhatsApp communities at scale.

What we offer

• A founding seat: meaningful equity plus a salary calibrated to our stage — discussed openly in the first conversation.
• Ownership of how a national learning movement gets built, campus by campus.
• Direct, daily impact on learners you will meet face to face.
