In Kenya, this solution is delivered in partnership with Vivo Energy, the operator of Shell-branded fuel infrastructure across Africa. KOKO offers a fast-paced and highly collaborative work environment with significant opportunities for professional growth and impact.

  • Communicate openly and honestly with KOKO customers throughout the sales process
  • Build, manage, and maintain strong, positive customer relationships
