    "description": "<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">About Farm to Feed </span></p>\n<p>Farm to Feed is a Kenyan agri-tech startup dedicated to reducing food loss and waste by creating a market for farmers’ full harvest. Founded in April 2020 as a COVID-19 relief initiative, it has evolved into a scalable model that connects smallholder farmers with buyers, ensuring that also edible but cosmetically imperfect fruits and vegetables reach consumers instead of going to waste.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>Farm to Feed is building the digital backbone for efficient, transparent supply chains in Kenya, connecting suppliers and producers to commercial kitchens and institutional buyers through one integrated platform. Our purpose-built ERP powers procurement, real-time inventory, receiving, dispatch, pricing and finance, working hand-in-hand with our B2B e-commerce and supplier mobile app to reduce manual work, improve fulfilment performance, and strengthen traceability and data quality from sourcing to delivery across multiple product categories. We’re a practical, execution-driven team that ships what moves the needle in operations and customer experience, using data to learn fast and scale what works.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Role Summary </span></p>\n<p>Own the full sales cycle — from prospecting and outreach through to deal closure — across Farm to Feed’s target customer segments including commercial kitchens, restaurants, schools, hospitals and institutional caterers. Following contract signature, you personally manage each new account for a minimum of three months to embed the relationship, optimise service delivery and identify growth opportunities, before executing a structured handover to the Customer Engagement team.</p>\n<p>The role is externally focused, individually accountable for revenue targets, and carries no people management responsibility.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Start date:</span> Immediate</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">What You’ll Do</span><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Lead Generation &amp;
