As an online marketplace, we give restaurants the opportunity to buy everything they need remotely and seamlessly from anywhere in the world.
Job Summary
We’re looking for creative and thoughtful self-starters to help connect Africa’s food businesses with the tools and information they need to grow. As a member of the Vendease marketing team, you’ll help shape and implement campaigns that drive leads for the company’s suite of B2B products and community efforts to help meet our growth goals within the markets we operate.
Responsibilities
As content marketer at Vendeease, You’ll become an audience, industry, and product expert who deeply understands the challenges food businesses in Africa face, and you’ll leverage a broad range of tactics — including content creation, content partnerships, events, webinars, and much more — to help food businesses recognise the ways Vendease can help accelerate their growth.
You’ll help acquire new leads and help existing clients discover new ways to leverage Vendease’s technology products, and make inroads into communities that need our help.

We operate in an opportunity-rich, but information-poor environment.

A background working in the food industry and/or at tech startups would be a plus, but is not required. If you have a strong bias for action and can document information like lives depend on it, we want to speak with you.
This is an exciting time to join the Vendease marketing and comms team team. We're growing quickly and bringing new products and services to our customers and we're looking for a colleague who is both clever and kind to help build and scale the ultimate food operating system for Africa.
