Job Description
Role Overview
Kenchic Limited, the leading producer of poultry in East and Central Africa, is looking for a dedicated Brand Manager. This isn't a role for someone who wants to execute a checklist; it's for someone who cares deeply about the brand and the numbers behind it. You will own the full brand picture, from interpreting consumer feedback to steering innovation from initial concept to the retail shelf. You'll be expected to influence cross-functional teams and ensure that every campaign and piece of messaging tells a consistent story.
Key Responsibilities
Shape annual brand plans and sharpen creative briefs.
Manage agency relationships and oversee activations and campaigns.
Interpret consumer insights, identifying trends even when they aren't explicitly stated.
Steer product innovation from the whiteboard stage through to market launch.
Lead cross-functional meetings to align various departments with the brand's vision.
Transform messy consumer data into sharp, clear, and actionable insights.
Character Fit
You'll love this role if:
You are naturally curious about market trends and competitive design.
You are motivated by managing multiple projects simultaneously.
You find satisfaction in turning complex data into insights.
You believe great brands must earn their place in people's lives.
You might struggle if:
You need everything perfectly defined before taking action.
You prefer working in silos or saying "that's not my department."
You treat innovation as a seasonal task rather than a constant mindset.
Requirements and Qualifications
Education: A degree in Marketing, Communications, or any discipline that has sharpened your problem-solving abilities.
Experience: A minimum of 5 years in Brand Management. Experience in FMCG (Fast-Moving Consumer Goods) or Agri-Business is a significant advantage.
Professional History: A track record of tangible impact and success.
Skills: Strong communication and analytical skills are essential. You must have a high level of attention to detail to catch issues before they escalate.
