Key focus areas in the first three months:

Beyond 3 months focus

  • Beyond the first three months, the Sales and Operations Manager Partners will shift from foundation-building to scaling and optimisation — growing the partner network, driving sales culture, and embedding data-driven performance management.

Focus areas after month three may include:

  • Aggressively expand the number of active merchant partners across Nairobi and target regions, in line with MoPhones’ growth ambitions.
  • Recruitment and development of Sales Account Managers responsible for partner operational management; build a high-performance field sales team culture.
  • Drive cross-departmental process improvements with Credit, Product, and CX teams to streamline the partner experience and improve sales conversion and device financing uptake.

Success Metrics (KPIs)

  • The Sales and Operations Manager Partners will be measured against these success metrics:
  • Partner Growth & Sales Performance
  • Number of active merchant partners (MoM growth target to be set with Director of Operations)
  • Sales revenue generated through partner network vs. target
  • Partner retention rate (% of partners active after 90 days)
  • Operational Excellence & Team Development
  •  Partner onboarding time (days from signing to first sale)
  • Sales team performance metrics — quota attainment per Account Manager
  • Partner satisfaction / NPS score (collected via structured check-ins or surveys)

What we are looking for

  • At least 5 years’ management experience in sales and account management, preferably in telecommunications, retail, or IT.
  •  Experience and an existing network in the mobile phone merchant industry in Kenya.
  • Strong sales and marketing skills with a proven focus on closing deals and driving revenue through indirect channels.
  • Data-savvy — comfortable building your own reports, tracking partner metrics, and making data-driven decisions.
  • High ownership and follow-through; you proactively close loops and do not wait to be chased.
  • Outcome-driven with an action bias — comfortable moving fast and iterating in an early-stage environment.
  • Strong project management skills with ruthless prioritisation — able to manage multiple partners, teams, and initiatives simultaneously.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and/or Google Suite.
