Events & Digital Growth Associate

Location: Sadili Oval, Nairobi

Reports to: General Manager / Owner

Job Type: Full-Time

About Sadili Oval:

Sadili Oval is a dynamic sports and community club with an exciting new division: a dedicated homeschooling facility for GCSE students. We are a hub for sports, education, and community events. We are now looking for a talented individual to revolutionize our Food & Beverage (F&B) delivery presence and build a vibrant calendar of events that fills our space with energy and revenue.

The Opportunity:

This is a hands-on, results-driven role for a creative self-starter. You will own two critical revenue streams:

1. Maximizing our F&B delivery potential on platforms like Glovo and Uber Eats.
2. Conceptualizing, selling, and executing events that utilize our unique facilities (sports grounds, classrooms, common areas).

You will be the engine that drives our commercial growth outside of our core sports and education services.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Digital F&B Growth & Management:

• Develop and execute the strategy for our delivery kitchen on Glovo, Uber Eats, and other relevant platforms.
• Analyze sales data to optimize menus, pricing, and promotions for maximum profitability and customer acquisition.
• Manage our online storefronts: ensure high-quality photos, compelling descriptions, and prompt customer review responses.
• Coordinate with the kitchen team to ensure packaging is effective, orders are accurate, and preparation times are swift.
• Track performance metrics (order volume, average basket size, ratings) and report on ROI.

2. Events & Venue Hire Business Development:

• Develop a compelling events strategy and calendar to attract bookings 7 days a week.
• Proactively sell our venue to clients for events like:
  • Corporate team-building events & meetings
  • Birthday parties & social gatherings
  • Workshops and seminars
  • Sports viewing parties (e.g., rugby, football finals)
  • Pop-up markets and community fairs
• Build a network of partners (caterers, decorators, DJs, corporate HR managers) to generate leads.
• Manage the entire event cycle: from initial client inquiry and site visits to booking, day-of coordination, and post-event follow-up.

3. Marketing & Promotion:

• Create and manage digital marketing campaigns (social media, Google Ads) to promote both our delivery menu and our event offerings.
• Develop targeted promotional packages (e.g., "Game Day Bundle" on Glovo, "All-Inclusive Birthday Package" for events).
• Collaborate with the homeschool facility to create family-oriented events and F&B offers.

Who We Are Looking For:

• A bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Business, Hospitality, or a related field.
• Proven Experience (Show us your hustle!):
  • You have 2-3 years of experience in digital marketing, F&B management, event sales/coordination, or a similar role.
  • You have hands-on experience using merchant dashboards for Glovo, Uber Eats, or similar delivery platforms. (Please mention this in your application).
  • You have a track record of conceptualizing events and meeting sales targets.
• Essential Skills:
  • Digital Native: Expert-level understanding of social media advertising and food delivery apps.
  • Exceptional Communicator: You can sell a vision to a corporate client and calmly solve a problem with a kitchen chef.
  • Data-Driven: You make decisions based on numbers, sales data, and market trends, not just gut feelings.
  • Highly Organized: You can juggle multiple tasks – managing a Glovo promotion while planning three different events for the month.
  • Creative & Proactive: You see potential everywhere and aren’t afraid to try new ideas.

What We Offer:

• A competitive base salary and a performance-based bonus tied to F&B delivery growth and event revenue.
• A unique and exciting opportunity to shape the commercial future of a well-established brand.
• Autonomy to implement your ideas and strategies.
• A dynamic work environment at the intersection of sports, education, and hospitality.

How to Apply:

If you are ready to build something exciting, please attach your CV and a one-page cover letter that answers the following questions ​

1. What is one specific strategy you would use to get our F&B delivery offerings into the "Top 10" on Glovo in our area?
2. What is one event idea you would pitch to a tech company to host their next team-building event at Sadili Oval?

Applications without a cover letter addressing these questions will not be considered.
