  • Prepare key spokespeople for interviews and speaking engagements.
  • Plan and execute experiential events (e.g., pregnancy fairs, Lamaze classes, community activations, intimate mum gatherings).
  • Create memorable brand activations at trade shows, baby expos, and community events.
  • Manage event budgets, logistics, vendor relationships, and on-site execution.
  • Deliver post-event evaluations with ROI, lead generation, and brand impact.
  • Maintain consistency in Malaica's brand voice across all public touchpoints.
  • Produce monthly reports with actionable insights.

Qualifications & Experience

  • Bachelor's degree in PR, Communications, Marketing, or related field.
  • 3-5 years of proven experience in PR, corporate communications, or events management.
  • Strong media network in Nairobi (health, lifestyle, and business journalists).
  • Demonstrated success in planning and executing premium events.
  • Excellent writing, editing, and verbal communication skills.
  • Strong organizational and project management skills.
  • Experience in healthcare, wellness, or lifestyle industries is a plus.

What You'll Get

  • A dynamic, fast-paced learning environment with direct collaboration alongside our Marketing Director.
  • Competitive compensation commensurate with experience.
  • Flexible working arrangements - including hybrid or remote options when needed.
  • The chance to shape meaningful campaigns and experiences that touch the lives of thousands of women.
  • Growth opportunities within a passionate, mission-driven team building one of Kenya's most impactful maternal health brands.
  • A creative, empowering culture that values initiative, ideas, and excellence
