Graduate Management Trainee – Operations at Greenspoon | Nairobi, Kenya

Greenspoon — Kenya’s fastest-growing online supermarket and a certified B Corp — is hiring a Graduate Management Trainee for Operations. The deadline is 31 May 2026. This is a hands-on, rotational programme for recent graduates ready to learn the full engine room of a scaling e-commerce operation — from warehouse floor to delivery routes to cold chain quality.

About This Role

The GMT will rotate through all core operational functions — Receiving, Warehousing, Picking, Logistics, Delivery, and Quality Operations — spending meaningful time in each before specialising. In every rotation you’ll own a real project from start to finish, present findings to leadership, and implement changes yourself with the ground team.

The contract is initially one year. Successful trainees are offered a permanent role with a clear progression path to Team Lead, Supervisor, and Management positions.

Rotation Areas

Receiving: Inbound goods control, supplier accuracy, putaway, cold chain compliance
Warehousing: Stock accuracy, layout optimisation, replenishment, storage conditions
Picking: Order accuracy, picker productivity, batching strategies, substitution rates
Logistics: Route planning, fleet utilisation, dispatch scheduling, last mile cost
Delivery: On-time performance, driver coaching, customer experience, returns management
Quality Operations: Food safety, traceability, temperature monitoring, continuous improvement audits

What You’ll Learn

Lean and Six Sigma tools for waste reduction, variation control, and structured problem solving
Leading and developing frontline teams in high-pressure environments
Root cause analysis, process design, and operational KPI management
Translating strategy into daily standards, routines, and team behaviours

You’ll have a personal development budget for courses, certifications, and relevant books.

Required Qualifications

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Engineering, Supply Chain, Logistics, Business, or a related field
Excellent academic achievement
0–2 years of work experience
Comfortable working early mornings, late evenings, and weekends
Ready to work in a fast-paced, physical environment
Exposure to Lean, Six Sigma, or continuous improvement methodologies — a plus, not required

Key Traits: Innovative problem-solver, leadership potential, disciplined, consistent, resilient, strong communicator, hands-on attitude, and willingness to speak up and challenge the status quo.
