Re-Advertisement: Species and Sites Programme Manager
 
Nature Kenya (The East Africa Natural History Society - EANHS) is Africa’s oldest scientific Society, established in 1909 to promote the study and conservation of nature in East Africa. 

To achieve its mission “connecting nature and people” Nature Kenya delivers a programme of biodiversity monitoring, local community empowerment, public education, advocacy and research.

To manage and sustain these activities Nature Kenya is seeking to recruit a dedicated, highly motivated, result oriented and innovative Species and Sites Programme Manager (SSPM).

  • staff supervision and management. 
Based in Nairobi, day-to-day tasks will include staff guidance, project monitoring and evaluation, donor report writing, proposal writing, statistical analysis and field visits to inspect projects and provide guidance to field staff. 

A critical part of the job is the ability to raise funds for both the SSPM position and those of other technical and support staff.

Key qualifications include: 
  • At least a Master’s degree in Wildlife Management or related field;
  • demonstrable commitment and dedication to conservation;
  • demonstrable excellent proposal writing skills;
