Job Summary

TechnoServe seeks an experienced Program Manager to lead implementation of the donor-funded Essential Oils and Leather Value Chain Program. The Program Manager will provide strategic, technical, and operational leadership to ensure the program achieves its goals. The role includes managing a multidisciplinary team, working closely with lead firms and other stakeholders, and ensuring accountability for program results and reporting to internal and external partners.

Program Overview

TechnoServe plans to implement an 18-month program aimed at enhancing the competitiveness of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Kenya’s essential oils and leather value chains. The initiative focuses on improving product quality, increasing market access, strengthening value-added processing, and building sustainable supply chains that integrate MSMEs into both domestic and international markets.

• Facilitate robust market linkages by designing and executing buyer engagement strategies, organizing matchmaking events, enabling participation in trade forums, and supporting MSMEs to secure supply or offtake agreements with new buyers.
• Strengthen financial readiness and business planning, helping MSMEs develop fundable growth strategies, access appropriate financing solutions, and build investment confidence among lenders and partners.
• Engage with ecosystem actors and sector stakeholders to unlock systemic constraints in infrastructure, certification, policy, and market access. Support collective solutions such as shared processing facilities, cooperative models, and sector-wide training initiatives.
