Une connaissance approfondie des écosystèmes de startups africains et de leurs réseaux est indispensable, ainsi que de solides compétences en analyse financière, modélisation, communication et travail en équipe. Le poste exige un sens aigu de l'initiative, une autonomie importante et une capacité à évoluer dans un environnement entrepreneurial, tout en naviguant entre les différentes strates internes d'une grande ONG internationale. Un master en finance, gestion ou économie est préférable. Le/la candidat(e) doit avoir le droit de travailler au Kenya. L'IRC offre un environnement de travail de type bureau à Nairobi, avec des déplacements régionaux et internationaux pour rencontrer les startups et les partenaires de l'écosystème.
