Nairobi, Nairobi Area, Kenya Adam Smith International Full time $60,000 - $80,000 per year

Location: Nairobi, Kenya

Adam Smith International (ASI) is seeking qualified Kenyan tax professionals with strong strategic leadership skills and experience in driving significant change to support an upcoming opportunity for technical assistance to the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), implemented through the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO)-funded Public Finance Resource Centre (PFRC).

Background

ASI is a global advisory company that works locally to transform lives by making economies stronger, societies more stable, and governments more effective. For nearly three decades, ASI has partnered with governments, the private sector, and civil society in almost 100 countries to deliver lasting results, particularly in complex and fragile environments.

ASI has a strong track record in delivering impactful public financial management (PFM) reforms across Africa and globally. Our work spans the entire PFM cycle, including budget formulation and execution, revenue mobilization, debt management, procurement, and fiscal decentralization. We have supported governments in strengthening institutions, improving transparency, and enhancing accountability in public finance.

ASI is currently the Managing Supplier for the PFRC which flexibly delivers technical advice on tax, PFM and broader macro-fiscal and debt management support. ASI is responsible for delivering all short-term interventions under the PFRC, and also runs competitive procurement processes for longer-term interventions. ASI can bid for these longer-term interventions, subject to strict conflict of interest controls (including ethical walls between the core PFRC project team and any proposal team).

About the role

ASI is in the early stages of tendering for an upcoming PFRC opportunity for technical assistance to the KRA. The intervention will focus on building sustainable capacity within the KRA by supporting the design and implementation of organizational changes as identified in its 9th corporate plan. Alongside organizational restructuring, digital transformation is a major focus of the change process.

The intervention is expected to run for several years from September 2025,, with thematic areas of support to be prioritized per financial year. Indicative areas of focus for the first year are:

  • Technical assistance in relation to implementation of the Revenue Authority's organizational restructuring plan anchored on digital transformation.

  • Data analytics training. Digitisation and data are at the core of Revenue Authority's 9th Corporate Plan. The World Bank is expected to support the introduction of new systems with greater data collection and analysis capabilities. The intervention is expected to complement this with hands-on training and long-term capacity building to ensure that Revenue Authority staff can get the most from new systems.

  • Technical assistance in relation to taxation of micro, small, and medium (MSME) enterprises. This includes enabling the development of a detailed and practical strategy to tax MSMEs effectively and fairly, with a focus on sectors and segments with the greatest revenue raising potential whilst considering social impact.

As part of developing our proposal, we are seeking experienced Kenyan tax professionals with significant experience working in or with the KRA, excellent strategic leadership skills, and the capability to drive change through a multidisciplinary team of experts.
