Are you ready to use your market development, leadership, and sales skills to correct the vision of millions of low-income customers across sub-Saharan Africa so they can work, learn, stay safe, and care for their families?
The pioneering social enterprise, VisionSpring, seeks a strategic and innovative Africa region director to create and execute the pan-African market strategy that builds demand for eyeglasses and delivers vision access programs and services for people who live on less than $4 per day. The director is responsible for market strategy, business development, sales and marketing management, operations, human resources, and financial management across VisionSpring’s five current key markets. The director provides leadership for VisionSpring’s expanding 15-person team and operations in Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Uganda, and Zambia, and more than 100 partnerships across hospitals, clinics, and NGOs, cultivating high levels of mission alignment, engagement, and productivity. The person in this position can be based anywhere on the continent, with preference for candidates located in our key markets, and should expect a heavy travel schedule. The Africa region director reports to the chief operating officer, located in VisionSpring’s New York support office.
