Nova Pioneer Job Vacancy : Regional Operations Manager

Nova Pioneer is looking for a superstar Regional Operations Manager for our Tatu City Campuses. The  Regional Operations Manager will be in charge of all our Kenya based campuses and will ensure that they run smoothly. This is an opportunity to be a part of an innovative network of schools that is developing generations of innovators and leaders who shape the African Century.

About Nova Pioneer

Imagine a world in which every young person across Africa attends a school that truly sets them up for success in the 21st century. A school that cares about individual students and allows them to explore the world around them. A school that focuses more on developing skills than on memorizing content. At Nova Pioneer, we have done more than just imagine this future, we are bringing it to life.

Nova Pioneer is a pan-African, independent network of schools offering high quality, accessible education from pre-primary through secondary school. Nova Pioneer uses a unique, inquiry-based learning approach that encourages students to ask “why” instead of telling them the “what”. It allows them to form their own thinking through exploration, investigation, and collaboration.
