Business Development & Partnerships Officers

Lakumi Solutions Limited is a Kenya-incorporated company that develops and operates technology-enabled businesses and digital platforms for African markets, with activities spanning agribusiness, ICT, logistics, fintech, and e-commerce.

FarmSasa, an AI-powered livestock and farm management platform owned by Lakumi Solutions Limited, is designed for African farmers to manage dairy and beef cattle, poultry, pigs, sheep, and goats through planned web and mobile tools. These tools support animal records, feeding, breeding, health, production, inventory, farm finances, and decision-support insights. The role requires applicants to currently reside in their target county and possess strong familiarity with its livestock sector, farming communities, cooperatives, and agricultural business networks. Successful candidates will be primarily selected from residents of their respective counties with established local relationships, as applicants outside the selected county or without meaningful local market knowledge will not be prioritized.

2. Build partnerships with veterinary providers, feed suppliers, agro-vets, processors, financial institutions, and agricultural organizations.
3. Conduct product demonstrations, coordinate pilot onboarding, and convert qualified prospects into paying customers once the platform is ready.
4. Maintain farmer and partner relationships, support customer retention, and gather product and market feedback.
5. Represent FarmSasa at local farmer meetings, field demonstrations, and relevant agricultural events.
6. Maintain a sales pipeline and submit weekly updates on leads, meetings, conversions, partnerships, and challenges.

1. Must currently reside in the specific county of application and possess strong knowledge of local livestock production areas and farmer networks.
