About Farm to Feed

What we do:
Farm to Feed is a pioneering end-to-end digital platform focused on aggregating the full harvest from farmers in Africa and selling it to commercial kitchens. Our mission is to reduce food loss, improve farmer incomes, and combat climate change through sustainable supply chains. We're a team that thrives on pushing boundaries and thinking innovatively to create real-world impact.

Our Team Culture:
We’re proudly "odd" - and we love it! At Farm to Feed, different perspectives aren’t just welcome, they’re necessary. We believe that challenging the status quo starts with people who see the world a little differently. We mix purpose with fun, hard work with heart, and community with innovation. If you care about impact, growth, and a little bit of organized chaos, you’ll feel right at home here.

Position Overview
This part-time, mid–senior level HR practitioner will stabilise and strengthen core HR foundations across the organisation. You will oversee strategic HR operations, ensure compliance with Kenyan labour law, support leadership with people-related decisions, and help preserve our culture as we grow. The role is ideal for someone who is highly experienced, autonomous, and able to deliver impact efficiently within focused hours.
