About Bridge International Academies
Bridge International Academies is a for-profit startup company revolutionizing education across Africa with a unique business model.
The company runs a large-scale network of low-cost primary schools in Kenya that significantly outperforms other primary schools in the same areas because of our "school in a box" systems.
Our schools profitably deliver this high-quality education for less than $4 per child per month, which enable the schools to cover all their costs and create a profitable central organization at scale.
We have launched 37 schools in Kenya, will double in size in the next 6 months, and plan to rapidly scale the company to serve more than 1 million students across continent
About this position
We have and are continuing to develop one of the most sophisticated approaches to providing affordable education to MILLIONS of children in one of the most challenging environments in the world.
A central part of our operations includes the identification and verification of plots of land for our schools inside the slums. These plots are spread across the greater Nairobi area and beyond. We therefore use Land Scouts who travel through lower income areas looking for plots that fit the size that we need in the areas that we have identified.
We are seeking a person who can manage these scouts and their output. The person employed will be skilled at managing a large workforce, directing them to the correct areas and compiling reports on their output. The person employed will also be responsible for finding and hiring land scouts, retaining those with the greatest output and replacing those that do not deliver the results demanded.
And because our plan is to launch hundreds and thousands of schools, this process must be streamlined, made cost effective and efficient.
The person we seek will be comfortable using technology to manage the team (SMS, spreadsheets, databases, GIS, mapping systems)
The
Land Identification Manager will report to the Deputy Director of Land Acquisition, showing results on a daily basis, while also compiling reports on a weekly and monthly basis.
We are looking for someone who is a results-based and motivated self-starter, able to effectively manage a large and growing team with efficiency and poise.
