Inventory Lead - Nairobi

Job summary

You know your way around a warehouse. You've optimized stock accuracy, tightened cycle counts, and built teams that execute flawlessly. You're probably even respected for it. But here's the question: when was the last time your inventory work directly enabled someone to start a business, power their home for the first time, or transform their family's economic trajectory?

At M-KOPA, inventory isn't just about moving boxes—it's about moving lives forward.

Responsibilities

• You'll oversee material movement, stock accuracy, and resupply operations across assigned locations, coordinating between material rooms and work areas while leading a team of inventory associates and officers.

• You'll develop reporting frameworks that give management real-time visibility into inventory accuracy and warehouse performance—data that directly informs our scaling decisions.

• You'll plan stock movement strategies that anticipate demand spikes when we launch in new territories or introduce new products.

• You'll lead cycle counts and monthly stock takes that involve coordinating multiple team members, validating complex reconciliations, and ensuring every discrepancy is investigated and resolved.

• You'll champion continuous improvement initiatives—implementing 6S methodologies, recommending warehouse layout optimizations, and driving process enhancements that improve efficiency as we scale.
