Programme Coordinator

The role

The Raspberry Pi Foundation is strengthening its operations in Kenya. Working closely with the Programme Manager, Kenya, the Programme Coordinator will be responsible for supporting computing education partnerships and programmes in schools and community settings, such as the Computing Curriculum, educator professional development, Code Clubs and Experience AI, ensuring our work is effectively planned, organised and executed.

The ideal candidate will be highly organised, detail orientated and capable of managing projects, business processes and communications with key stakeholders. Previous involvement with Code Clubs and/or experience of working with government education or NGO partnerships would be a significant advantage.

You don’t need to be an expert in computing, or digital making, but you do need to bring a passion for our mission and a willingness to learn.

We strive to make the Foundation a place where talented people who care about our mission can do the best work of their careers. We have a flexible and collaborative approach to all aspects of our work. If you’re the right person for the job, we’ll make it work for you, and you can be confident that you’ll be working with an exceptional team.
