Job Title: Business Analyst / Project Manager

Location: Nairobi

Reports To: CTO

About Us:

ARC Ride is at the forefront of the e-mobility revolution sweeping across Africa,

leading the charge to enable the mass adoption of Affordable, Reliable, and

Clean transportation. This is based on our market-leading battery-as-a-service

(BaaS) infrastructure solution that is driving the transition to clean two and

three wheel mobility systems in Africa.

The Role:

We’re looking for a hybrid Business Analyst / Project Manager who will act as a

bridge between our business and technology teams, translating real-world

needs into clear technical requirements and driving execution.

You’ll work closely with cross-functional teams, gather and define business

requirements, define project scopes, map workflows, and turn complex ideas

into actionable plans. From organising team priorities to tracking milestones

and clearing roadblocks, you’ll guide projects end-to-end while keeping

everyone aligned and informed.

Please note this role requires the candidate to be onsite at our headquarters

in Nairobi.

What You’ll Do:

● Act as the glue between business and technology teams.

● Engage with stakeholders to capture needs, challenges and goals.

● Convert high-level business goals into clear specifications for technology

and data teams.

● Map workflows, identify inefficiencies, and propose improvements.

● Serve as the point of contact between business stakeholders and technical

teams, ensuring clarity and understanding.

● Support light project management - track progress, manage dependencies,

and help keep delivery on schedule.

● Facilitate communication across stakeholders, provide updates, and ensure

everyone is aware of priorities, decisions, and next steps.

What We’re Looking For:

● 4+ years in business analysis, project management, or a similar role -

primarily within a technology-driven environment.

● Bachelor’s or Master’s degree/PhD in Information Systems, Computer

Science, or a related field (ability to translate business needs to technical

requirements is required). Advanced degrees are a plus. Significant industry

experience will be considered in place of a degree.

● Proven ability to gather and document requirements, create user stories,

and manage product backlogs.

● Familiarity with business process mapping, software development

processes, workflow design, and defining requirements.

● Comfortable working with technology and data teams.

● Tools: Experience with PM tools such as ClickUp, Jira or similar collaboration

tools is a plus.

● Soft skills: strong communicator, clear writer, organised, and confident

facilitator of cross-team discussions.

● Mindset: proactive, curious, and resourceful - someone who finds solutions.

● Advanced/technical English required. French or Mandarin would be a plus.

● Attentive to detail.

Why Join Us:

● Join us at an exciting time as we scale rapidly in the renewable mobility

space.

● Work in a fast-growing, innovative startup where your solutions have

immediate, visible impact.

● Competitive compensation.

● Be part of a mission-driven team committed to cleaner cities and greener

transportation.
