Project Manager – Kenya

Location: Remote (Kenya-based, Nairobi preferred)

Our Common Home promotes civic participation to build solutions to climate change—especially among people with strong attachments to place, family, and tradition, who have often been left out of the conversation.

We partner with and support civic organisations, believing that locally rooted associations are key to lasting climate solutions and preserving our natural inheritance.

Our mission:
 build political consensus on tackling climate change and empower everyone across society to explore and deliver solutions.

The Role

We're seeking a 
Project Manager
 to help set up our Kenya entity and structure a growing programme of work. You'll manage project workplans and budgets, vendor relations, and project delivery, while also supporting the Executive Director on organisational development and long-term strategy.

This is a unique chance to help shape a mission-driven organisation from the ground up—defining strategy, culture, and impact.

Role-

  • First 6–12 months:
     50% on our segmentation research project; 50% on start-up tasks (branding, legal, vendor engagement).

  • Oversee cash flow, accounting, and invoicing with global finance support
  • Strengthen programme proposals with analysis and insights
  • Support recruitment, onboarding, and skills development
  • Build internal processes, tools, and best practices

About You

experienced, flexible project manager
 with a passion for climate action and building organisations. Someone who thrives in a start-up environment and can balance strategy with detail.

Experience:

  • 5+ years in project management (digital, creative, PR, NGO programmes / campaigns, or similar)
  • Skilled with task management tools and frameworks
  • Strong budgeting and financial management
  • Client, partner, and funder liaison experience
