Job description

Join a revolutionary environmental and social impact company with a mission to address plastic waste pollution in Africa while empowering local communities. By incentivizing individuals to collect and recycle plastic waste in exchange for credits, we aim to create a cleaner, greener Africa. The recycled plastics are then transformed into valuable products like chairs, tables, electric scooters, bicycles, and plastic blocks for road construction—items that are distributed back to the community at no cost.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Lead and drive the strategic direction of our environmental and social impact programs across Africa.
• Oversee the establishment and management of collection centers and recycling hubs in key regions.
• Develop partnerships with governments, NGOs, and private-sector organizations to scale our reach.
• Ensure the recycling processes are efficient and that the transformation of plastic waste into useful products meets quality and sustainability standards.
• Drive community engagement and empowerment through awareness campaigns and incentive structures.
• Coordinate with logistics teams to ensure the smooth operation of plastic collection and distribution systems.
• Manage a team of regional managers, ensuring that the community-driven model is implemented successfully.
• Monitor and evaluate the impact of our programs, reporting on environmental and social outcomes.
• Innovate and explore new recycling technologies and practices to further enhance product value.
• Represent the company at industry events and in discussions with government and community leaders.
• Develop financial strategies to ensure the long-term sustainability of the companies’ initiatives.
• Foster a culture of environmental stewardship and social responsibility within the company.

What We’re Looking For:

• Proven experience in a leadership role within sustainability, environmental management, or community-based programs.
• In-depth knowledge of recycling processes, waste management, and circular economy principles.
• Experience in managing large-scale community-driven initiatives.
• Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills.
• Ability to collaborate with government, NGO, and private-sector partners.
• A passion for social impact, sustainability, and environmental innovation.
• Strategic thinking, with a focus on scaling and expanding operations across Africa.
• Financial acumen with the ability to manage budgets and resources efficiently.
• Ability to work in diverse and challenging environments
