Job Description

We’re looking for a hands-on builder and strategic leader to help us accelerate the growth of our platform operating global retail and food brands in East Africa.

Who you will work for

Liberty Eagle provides the emerging consumer class in East Africa with access to best-in-category goods and services in partnership with the world’s biggest fashion, beauty, and food brands. We run brick and mortar and e-commerce operations as franchisees of Mango, Yves Rocher, Pizza Hut, Subway and Etam.

With a 10-year track record in East Africa and the backing of a US-based investment group, we are building and scaling new ways to delight our customers, reigniting growth as the region bounces back from COVID-related restrictions on economic activity.

What you will do

The Director of Operations will be responsible for leading all operations and driving planning, direction, and execution for the group companies. You will hustle, problem-solve and lead a set of growing businesses.

Lead. You’ll hire and develop a high-performing team for our new business lines, and mentor and grow our existing brand managers.

Build. You’ll have your fingerprints all over the launch of our new retail concepts and distribution channels and drive new unit openings with our existing brands. You’ll do whatever it takes to move the ball forward, from high-level strategy to nitty-gritty operational details.

Analyze. You’ll assess the financial and operational impacts of your decisions and use data to resolve uncertainty. You will champion data-driven decision-making processes across the group companies.

Partnerships. You’ll develop relationships with the world’s biggest consumer brands and adapt their systems to an African context. You will earn the trust of landlords and build key supplier partnerships.

Capital Allocation and Development. You’ll steward the resources of the existing investor group and drive forward the fundraising conversation with new family office investors.

Requirements

About you

You’re unafraid of ambiguity. Learning is exciting to you, and you thrive in complex environments.

You’re analytical. You let data win arguments, and you’re comfortable modeling in Excel.

You’re relentless. You do what it takes to win.

You’re a generalist. You don’t hesitate to get your hands dirty and operate at the lowest level of detail, but you’re just as comfortable thinking long-term and inspiring a team. No job is beneath you.

You have 7+ years of experience. You’ve succeeded in high-performance cultures (consulting, tech, finance, operations), or you’ve helped scale a startup.

You have 3+ years of team management experience. Building and developing a team is something you are passionate about.
