Who are we?
Moko Home + Living is a manufacturer and retailer of home furniture products. We pride ourselves on our creativity, passion, and fun. Our customers dream of a welcoming place to sleep, relax, and host their guests, but they tell us this isn't easy - they either have to break the bank or settle for low-quality furniture. Join us in building the products, the brand, and the operations, to put high-quality, affordable living within everyone's reach. Since our founding, we have reached over 100,000 Kenyan homes with our products, attracted global investment, and grown from a start-up to mid-sized company with 250+ employees.

Your main responsibilities will be:

- You will work with the CEO and COO to create
and manage the right performance reporting systems that will enable
company leadership (you included) to manage cost and productivity across
the value chain.

with a proven track record of creating new systems and solving complex
problems.

manager, adept at leading cross-functional teams, taking initiatives from
concept to implementation.

Career growth + progression
You’ll join the leadership team of one of East Africa’s most successful growth-stage companies, playing a key role in our development into a major enterprise. You’ll learn first-hand how a thriving venture is operated, with the opportunity to expand your skills and responsibilities as your team and our company grows.
We believe this distinct and rare experience
is the most valuable benefit we offer new leaders who join our team. In

benchmarked against lean mid-sized companies. You’ll also be awarded stock
options, allowing you to participate in the value you create as a leader of our
