What we're looking for

• We are looking for proactive, organized, and people-first individuals who are energized by both creative work and human connection. Potential and attitude matter more to us than years of experience.

Here is what we value:

• People Person: You genuinely enjoy speaking to strangers, make parents feel heard and welcomed from the very first call.
• Self-Driven: You do not wait to be chased — you follow up leads proactively, flag blockers early, and deliver without reminders.
• Organised Under Pressure: You can manage an open WhatsApp inbox, a content calendar, and a Pipedrive pipeline simultaneously without dropping anything.
• Tech-Savvy: Confident with Canva, Google Workspace, AI content tools Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini, and CRM platforms.
• Excellent Communicator: Strong written and spoken English is non-negotiable. Swahili is an advantage; French is a strong bonus given Enko's pan-African network.
• Commercially Aware: You understand that every lead is a potential enrolment and treat every interaction accordingly.
