Commercial Manager wanted!

Who’s bold enough to take this on?

At We Do Bamboo, we’re not here to just sell building materials.We’re here to challenge the status quo of Africa’s construction industry. Right now, Kenya’s construction sector depends heavily on imported materials; steel, concrete, and timber, while one of the world’s most versatile resources grows abundantly in our own backyard: bamboo.


We believe bamboo is the future of sustainable building. Locally grown. Locally produced. Designed to meet the highest architectural standards.But to turn this belief into a market movement, we need more than just great products.We need commercial leadership that dares to open doors, shape demand, and build a winning team.


We are hiring logo


The Role: Commercial Manager

We’re preparing to launch our Bamboo Plastic Composite (BPC) building materials (products like decking, cladding, and panels) into the Kenyan market.This isn’t about following the market.It’s about creating one.


That’s why we’re looking for a Commercial Manager who’s ready to lead from the front.A hands-on leader who can combine strategy and execution.Who understands how to position innovative materials in a traditional market.And who’s ready to take ownership of our entire commercial roadmap.

  • Go-to-market strategy: From product positioning to pricing; you’ll shape how we enter the market.

  • Business development: Open doors with architects, contractors, developers, and distributors.

  • Export readiness: Prepare for regional scaling beyond Kenya.

  • Brand building: Work closely with marketing to tell the story of why bamboo matters.


Who Are We Looking For?

You’re an experienced commercial leader, with a background in:

  • B2B project sales (ideally in construction materials or architectural products)

  • Navigating complex sales cycles with multiple stakeholders

  • Building and scaling commercial teams


Most importantly, you’re someone who sees opportunity where others see obstacles.You’re not looking to manage an existing pipeline; you want to create one.


Practical Details:

  • Location: Nairobi (or willing to relocate)

  • Position: Full-time, leadership role

  • Start: As soon as we find the right person

  • Impact: You’ll be working on a product that actually makes environmental sense.
