Tushop is a venture-backed technology-enabled company operating in Kenya. Our mission is to strengthen the welfare of communities by giving them more value with their groceries. We do so by aggregating communities’ demand for groceries to help them access wholesale prices and provide convenient delivery to end customers. Additionally, we work with Community Leaders, who earn an additional income for the work that they do within their communities.

Why Tushop?
If you’ve ever been curious to see the initial days of a company and be part of that story then this is your chance. Since we are at an early stage, you will be able to see and feel the direct impact of your work. You will have ownership of your tasks and you will not be micromanaged. You will make things happen. Lastly, you will work with a fun, fast-moving, customer-driven, reliable, and supportive team.
Why not Tushop?
We experiment a lot. If you like dotting all your i’s and crossing all your t’s before making a move then you might not enjoy working with us.
We are low-ego individuals. If you need praise, need to always be right, or need someone else to fail to feel self-worth, this role is not for you.
We believe that fieldwork makes the dream work. We don’t hide behind laptops every day; we instead thrive by engaging with customers, suppliers, partners, and teammates on the streets.
If this sounds like a place where you are looking to work, then come join us. If not, then please share this resume with someone who might be a great fit!
