The September 2026 vacancies cover different professional areas and include positions based in Kenya as well as roles advertised for multiple locations.
The available positions are Risk & Regulatory Compliance Manager – EIB, Head of Pharmacy Operations and Clinical Procurement – Equity Afya, Portfolio Manager Equities, and Monitoring, Evaluation, Research and Learning Data Manager.
These vacancies form part of the wider professional opportunities available within the Equity ecosystem. The positions involve responsibilities ranging from managing regulatory and compliance risks to overseeing pharmacy operations, managing equity investment portfolios, and strengthening the use of data for monitoring, evaluation, research and learning.
Applicants interested in any of the positions should carefully review the official job description for the specific vacancy before submitting an application. Requirements, professional experience, academic qualifications and other eligibility conditions should be confirmed from the respective official vacancy listing.
The application deadlines vary by position, with the earliest listed deadline falling on September 3, 2026, followed by September 5, 2026, and September 15, 2026. Candidates should therefore take note of the closing date attached to the position they intend to pursue.
Below is an overview of all four job opportunities currently advertised.
1. Risk & Regulatory Compliance Manager – EIB
Location: Kenya
Application Deadline: September 15, 2026
The Risk & Regulatory Compliance Manager – EIB position is a senior professional opportunity focused on supporting effective risk management and regulatory compliance within the relevant business environment.
The position sits at the intersection of business operations, governance, regulatory requirements and institutional risk management. The job holder is expected to contribute to an operating environment in which business activities are undertaken within established regulatory, policy and risk management frameworks.
Risk and regulatory compliance functions are important within financial institutions because they provide structures through which regulatory obligations, internal policies and business risks can be identified, assessed and managed. The manager therefore plays an important role in supporting appropriate controls and ensuring that regulatory considerations are incorporated into relevant business activities.
Key Areas of Responsibility
The Risk & Regulatory Compliance Manager role is centred on areas such as:
- Supporting the management of regulatory and compliance matters affecting the relevant business operations.
- Monitoring the risk and regulatory environment within which the business operates.
- Supporting the identification and assessment of compliance-related risks.
- Contributing to the implementation and maintenance of appropriate risk and compliance controls.
- Helping ensure that relevant business activities are undertaken in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements.
- Supporting internal processes designed to strengthen regulatory compliance.
- Monitoring developments that may affect the institution’s regulatory obligations.
- Working with relevant internal stakeholders on risk and compliance matters.
- Supporting the communication of regulatory and compliance requirements across relevant business functions.
- Contributing to the development of a strong institutional approach towards risk management.
- Supporting management in understanding significant regulatory and compliance issues.
- Contributing to reporting and documentation relating to risk and regulatory compliance.
- Supporting the review of business activities from a risk and compliance perspective.
- Helping identify areas where controls or compliance processes may require strengthening.
- Supporting appropriate responses to emerging regulatory requirements and compliance concerns.
The position also requires coordination across different business functions because regulatory compliance does not operate independently from day-to-day operations. Risk considerations may affect products, services, processes, reporting, governance and decision-making.
The manager is therefore expected to support an integrated approach in which regulatory obligations are understood and considered across relevant functions.
Risk Management and Compliance Oversight
An important component of the position involves maintaining visibility over risks that may have regulatory or compliance implications.
This includes supporting mechanisms for identifying potential weaknesses, assessing the effectiveness of existing controls and escalating significant matters through appropriate internal channels.
The position may also contribute to ensuring that documentation relating to compliance activities is properly maintained and that management has access to relevant information for decision-making.
The Risk & Regulatory Compliance Manager is expected to operate within established governance structures while supporting continuous improvement in risk and compliance practices.
Applicants interested in this vacancy should consult the official listing for the complete responsibilities, requirements and application instructions.

2. Head of Pharmacy Operations and Clinical Procurement – Equity Afya
Location: Multiple Locations
Application Deadline: September 5, 2026
The Head of Pharmacy Operations and Clinical Procurement – Equity Afya is a leadership position responsible for providing oversight across pharmacy operations and clinical procurement activities.
The role brings together two closely connected operational areas: the effective management of pharmacy services and the procurement of clinical products and supplies required to support healthcare delivery.
The job holder is expected to provide coordination and operational direction while supporting systems that promote availability, accountability, efficiency and appropriate management of pharmaceutical and clinical supplies.
Pharmacy Operations
A major area of focus for the position is pharmacy operations. Effective pharmacy management requires coordination of products, inventory, operational procedures, internal controls and service delivery.
The Head of Pharmacy Operations and Clinical Procurement is therefore expected to contribute to consistent and efficient pharmacy operations across the relevant network.
Key operational areas associated with the position include:
- Providing leadership and oversight for pharmacy operations.
- Supporting consistent pharmacy operating practices across relevant facilities or locations.
- Coordinating pharmacy-related activities with other healthcare operations.
- Supporting effective management of pharmaceutical products.
- Monitoring operational issues affecting pharmacy services.
- Supporting appropriate inventory management practices.
- Promoting accountability in the handling and management of pharmaceutical supplies.
- Supporting processes intended to maintain availability of required products.
- Coordinating with relevant internal stakeholders on pharmacy requirements.
- Supporting operational reporting and performance monitoring.
- Identifying opportunities to improve pharmacy operations.
- Supporting appropriate systems and controls within pharmacy functions.
Clinical Procurement
The second major component of the position involves clinical procurement.
Healthcare facilities depend on timely access to medicines, clinical supplies and other essential products. Procurement processes therefore need to balance availability, operational requirements, cost management, quality considerations and supply continuity.
The Head of Pharmacy Operations and Clinical Procurement is expected to provide oversight within this area and coordinate with relevant stakeholders.
Responsibilities associated with the procurement aspect of the role include:
- Providing oversight of clinical procurement activities.
- Supporting procurement planning based on operational requirements.
- Coordinating the sourcing and availability of relevant clinical products.
- Working with relevant departments to understand procurement requirements.
- Supporting appropriate management of suppliers and procurement processes.
- Monitoring supply requirements across relevant operations.
- Contributing to measures intended to reduce disruptions in the availability of required supplies.
- Supporting procurement controls and accountability.
- Monitoring procurement performance and operational challenges.
- Coordinating pharmacy and clinical procurement priorities.
- Supporting effective management of clinical supply requirements.
- Contributing to procurement planning and related decision-making.
Inventory and Supply Management
Inventory management is another important element of pharmacy and clinical procurement operations.
The job holder is expected to support systems that provide visibility into stock requirements, product availability and operational demand. This may involve coordinating information between pharmacy teams, procurement functions and healthcare operations.
Effective inventory oversight can also help identify potential shortages, excessive inventory, supply disruptions and other issues that could affect service delivery.
The role therefore requires an operational perspective that connects procurement decisions with actual healthcare requirements across the relevant locations.
Operational Leadership
As a head-level position, the role involves providing direction within the assigned function and supporting coordination among stakeholders involved in pharmacy operations and clinical procurement.
The job holder is expected to contribute to the development of efficient operating processes and support performance monitoring within the function.
Candidates considering this opportunity should refer to the official Equity Afya vacancy listing for the complete job description and stated eligibility requirements.

3. Portfolio Manager Equities
Location: Kenya
Application Deadline: September 5, 2026
The Portfolio Manager Equities position is an investment-focused opportunity responsible for supporting the management of equity investment portfolios.
The role involves investment analysis, portfolio management, market monitoring and investment decision-making within established mandates and investment frameworks.
Equity portfolio management requires continuous assessment of companies, sectors, market developments and broader economic conditions. The Portfolio Manager therefore operates in an environment where investment decisions need to be supported by structured research, analysis and ongoing portfolio monitoring.
Portfolio Management Responsibilities
The position is centred on managing equity investments in line with applicable investment objectives and frameworks.
Key areas associated with the role include:
- Supporting the management of equity investment portfolios.
- Monitoring portfolio holdings and investment performance.
- Conducting research relevant to equity investment decisions.
- Evaluating potential investment opportunities.
- Monitoring developments affecting companies and sectors represented within portfolios.
- Supporting investment decisions within established mandates.
- Reviewing portfolio positioning in response to relevant market developments.
- Contributing to portfolio construction and management processes.
- Supporting investment performance analysis.
- Maintaining appropriate investment information and documentation.
- Participating in investment discussions and portfolio reviews.
- Monitoring risks associated with equity investments.
- Supporting investment reporting requirements.
- Contributing to investment strategy implementation.
- Maintaining awareness of developments within relevant financial markets.
Investment Research and Analysis
Research forms an important part of equity portfolio management.
The Portfolio Manager is expected to assess information relevant to investment decisions and contribute to the evaluation of companies and market opportunities.
Analysis may involve examining company performance, industry developments, economic conditions, market movements and other factors relevant to portfolio decisions.
The purpose of this work is to support informed investment decisions rather than relying solely on short-term market movements.
The role therefore requires a structured investment process through which available information is assessed and incorporated into portfolio management decisions.
Portfolio Monitoring
Once investments have been made, continued monitoring remains necessary.
The Portfolio Manager is expected to follow developments that may affect existing holdings and assess their implications for the portfolio.
Portfolio monitoring may include reviewing investment performance, changes in market conditions, developments affecting individual companies and shifts in the broader investment environment.
Where significant changes occur, the Portfolio Manager contributes to determining whether existing portfolio positioning remains consistent with the applicable investment strategy.
Investment Risk
Equity investments are exposed to different forms of market and company-specific risk. The position therefore includes a risk-awareness component alongside the objective of generating investment returns.
The Portfolio Manager is expected to consider risk when assessing investment opportunities and managing existing holdings.
This involves understanding the potential implications of portfolio concentration, company developments, sector movements and broader market changes.
Reporting and Stakeholder Information
Investment management also requires clear documentation and communication.
The Portfolio Manager may contribute to reports on portfolio performance, investment activity, market developments and other matters relevant to the management of the portfolio.
Such information supports internal decision-making and provides stakeholders with visibility into portfolio developments.
Candidates interested in the Portfolio Manager Equities vacancy should review the complete official job listing before applying, particularly for the stated qualifications, professional experience and other eligibility conditions.

4. Monitoring, Evaluation, Research and Learning Data Manager
Location: Kenya
Application Deadline: September 3, 2026
The Monitoring, Evaluation, Research and Learning Data Manager position focuses on the management and use of data to support monitoring, evaluation, research and organizational learning.
The role is particularly important in environments where programmes and initiatives require reliable information for tracking implementation, assessing outcomes, generating evidence and supporting decision-making.
The Data Manager is expected to contribute to systems and processes that enable relevant information to be collected, organised, managed, analysed and made available for monitoring, evaluation, research and learning purposes.
Data Management Responsibilities
Data management is the central component of the position.
The job holder is expected to support processes that maintain reliable, organised and accessible information for relevant programme and institutional requirements.
Key areas associated with the role include:
- Supporting the management of data used for monitoring, evaluation, research and learning.
- Coordinating data collection and management processes.
- Supporting systems for organising and maintaining relevant datasets.
- Contributing to data quality assurance processes.
- Supporting the validation and review of collected information.
- Maintaining appropriate data management procedures.
- Supporting access to reliable information for reporting and analysis.
- Coordinating with relevant stakeholders involved in data collection and use.
- Supporting the preparation of data for monitoring and evaluation activities.
- Contributing to research-related data requirements.
- Supporting learning processes through organised and accessible evidence.
- Helping identify and address data quality issues.
- Supporting documentation relating to data management processes.
- Contributing to reporting requirements.
- Supporting appropriate management of information throughout the relevant data lifecycle.
Monitoring and Evaluation Data
Monitoring and evaluation activities depend on accurate and timely information.
The Data Manager supports the information systems and processes through which programme performance can be monitored and results assessed.
This includes ensuring that relevant data is appropriately organised and available for those responsible for analysing implementation progress and outcomes.
The role also supports the integrity of monitoring and evaluation processes by contributing to data quality checks and addressing inconsistencies where they arise.
Research Data Management
Research represents another important area of the position.
Research activities may generate significant volumes of information that require systematic management. The Data Manager supports processes for organising research-related information and making it suitable for analysis and reporting.
This may involve coordination with research teams and other stakeholders responsible for generating or using data.
Appropriate management of research data also contributes to the reliability of findings and the ability of teams to derive useful evidence from research activities.
Learning and Evidence Use
Monitoring, evaluation and research generate information, but the value of that information depends partly on whether it can be transformed into useful organizational learning.
The Data Manager therefore contributes to an environment in which evidence can be accessed and used to understand programme performance, identify trends and support future decisions.
The role helps connect data management with broader learning objectives by ensuring that relevant information is structured and available for analysis.
Data Quality and Integrity
Data quality is a significant responsibility within any monitoring and evaluation environment.
The job holder is expected to support processes that identify missing, inconsistent or inaccurate information and strengthen the reliability of datasets used for reporting and analysis.
This may involve reviewing data collection processes, supporting validation procedures and coordinating with teams responsible for generating information.
Maintaining data integrity is important because decisions based on inaccurate or incomplete information can affect programme planning, reporting and evaluation.
Reporting and Analysis Support
The Data Manager also supports the preparation of information required for reports and analysis.
This involves organising data in ways that enable relevant teams and decision-makers to understand progress, performance and emerging findings.
The position therefore requires close coordination between technical data management activities and the broader monitoring, evaluation, research and learning function.
Candidates interested in this position should consult the official vacancy announcement for the complete responsibilities and the specific qualifications and experience required.
