Programme Associate at GrowthAfrica

GrowthAfrica is one of the continent's leading growth partners for entrepreneurs. We are looking for new talent to join our quest to grow the continent's promising impact enterprises into market and investor-ready businesses, creating much-needed quality job opportunities, economic growth, and social transformation. We drive market-readiness, growth-readiness and investment-readiness through cohort-based programmes, projects, and tailored support services to entrepreneurs across Africa. We also build the support ecosystems that enable entrepreneurs to thrive, through capacity building of entrepreneur support organisations and ecosystem actors. Through access to capital, markets, technology, and know-how, we have, since 2002, supported over 5,000 businesses to flourish. We focus on innovative and scalable post-revenue startups and growth SMEs across sub-Saharan Africa. Headquartered in Nairobi, we run activities across Africa. You will join an international, passionate, and ambitious team across six countries.

About the role

As Programme Associate, you are the operational backbone of the country team. You will play a critical role in ensuring the successful delivery of programmes by coordinating logistics, managing data, supporting participants, and overseeing the day-to-day operational details that keep everything running smoothly. You will ensure that all moving parts come together effectively to achieve programme objectives and deliver an exceptional participant experience. This role is more than administration. You are curious, well-read and connected. You follow what is happening in the startup and entrepreneurship space in your country and across the continent. You know how to find people, through research, networks and initiative, and you apply that instinct to helping identify the right women entrepreneurs in communities that are easy to overlook. You notice things and act on them without being asked. This is an early-career role with a real development pathway. You will learn fast, be stretched and grow alongside a programme that is doing important work across four countries.

Key responsibilities

Provide logistical and administrative support for all country programme activities, including event and workshop logistics, travel and accommodation, venue booking, materials preparation and participant communication. Support the identification and mapping of women entrepreneurs in rural and peri-urban areas through active online research, network engagement and a strong knowledge of what is happening in the local ecosystem. Support participant outreach, registration and application management for all programme cohorts in-country. Coordinate data collection from participants and field activities, ensuring data is captured accurately and submitted on time in support of monitoring, evaluation and reporting requirements. Act as the country safeguarding focal point for participant-facing activities, referring concerns promptly to the designated safeguarding lead in line with programme policy. Manage in-country petty cash, expense claims and activity retirement documentation in coordination with the finance team. Maintain organised country activity files, participant databases and partner
