Fresh Life Initiative (FLI)

Job Title: Marketing Manager

Fresh Life Initiative (FLI) is an award-winning social venture that makes hygienic sanitation accessible and affordable in Africa’s urban slums for everyone, forever.

Our systems-based approach to solving the sanitation crisis involves five key steps: we build a dense network of franchised micro-entrepreneurs, who operate low-cost, high-quality waterless sanitation facilities.

We provide critical support services – such as access to finance, training, marketing and business analytics.

We collect the waste regularly and safely remove it from the community. Working with our sanitation partners we convert the waste into valuable by-products, such as organic fertilizer and renewable energy. Finally, we sell the by-products to Kenyan farms.

Since November 2011, we have launched over 3000 Fresh Life Toilets to a network of 2500 micro-entrepreneurs and we collect and convert over 9000 tons of waste annually.

Role: The Marketing Manager will be responsible for generating and sustaining high consumer usage of Fresh Life Toilets, while supporting the sales team to increase franchise uptake of the Fresh Life Toilets.

To accomplish these goals, the Marketing Manager will work collaboratively with the other FLI field teams to implement viable marketing initiatives aimed at generating demand for franchise uptake; implement community-wide branding and sanitation awareness campaigns; strategize and execute marketing initiatives to support Fresh Life franchisees in attracting users; and measure effectiveness of all branding and marketing activities.
