Execafrica Recruitment Jobs in Kenya – Sales Representatives and Junior Accountant

Sales and finance may sit on different sides of a business, but both play an important role in keeping a distribution operation moving. Sales representatives help products reach customers and outlets, build business relationships and generate revenue, while finance professionals make sure transactions, reconciliations and branch figures are properly recorded and understood.

Several opportunities currently listed through Execafrica Recruitment Limited bring these two areas together. The vacancies include Distributor Sales Representative positions in Gikambura, Mombasa and Kisumu, as well as a Junior Accountant position based in Kiambu. The sales positions are full-time opportunities with a gross salary of KSh 27,000 to KSh 30,000, while the Junior Accountant position offers a gross salary of KSh 50,000.

Although the positions have different responsibilities, they are connected by the demands of a distribution and FMCG environment, where sales activity, stock movement, customer service and financial records need to work together.

Sales Representatives Who Can Take the Business to the Market

The Distributor Sales Representative roles are particularly suited to people who enjoy working directly with customers and are comfortable spending much of their working time on the move.

The available positions are located in Gikambura in Kiambu County, Mombasa and Kisumu. Each requires at least two years of relevant sales experience in the FMCG industry. The roles also require a valid motorcycle riding licence, making mobility a central part of the work.

The sales representative will be expected to generate leads and work toward sales targets while helping introduce new brands into the market. This is not simply a matter of making occasional customer visits. The role involves planning and maintaining outlet coverage, following planned routes and ensuring that customers are visited with the required frequency.

Another important consideration is sales volume. The representative needs to pay attention to drop sizes and delivery frequency while helping ensure that products are available where customers expect to find them.

This makes the position suitable for someone who understands that successful FMCG sales involve consistency. A customer relationship may begin with a sales conversation, but maintaining availability, following routes, providing service and monitoring stock and sales are all part of keeping that relationship productive.

Three Locations, One Sales Opportunity

While the Distributor Sales Representative vacancies are advertised separately for Gikambura, Mombasa and Kisumu, the core requirements are largely the same.

The location difference is therefore one of the most important factors for applicants to consider. Someone interested in the Gikambura opening would be applying for the Kiambu-based position, while candidates interested in the other two opportunities would need to consider the Mombasa or Kisumu location.

The positions are full time, and the employer is looking for candidates who can be available immediately. The advertised gross salary for the sales roles is between KSh 27,000 and KSh 30,000.

The mobility requirement is particularly important. Applicants must have a valid Class C driving licence as well as a Class A motorcycle riding licence. The motorcycle licence is specifically identified as a must-have requirement in the vacancy.

For someone already experienced in FMCG field sales and comfortable travelling between customer outlets, this combination of experience and licensing will be central to their eligibility.

What Happens During a Typical Sales Cycle?

The sales representative's responsibilities extend from finding opportunities to making sure transactions and stock records remain accurate.

Generating leads is one part of the process. The representative will also work to list new brands in the market and ensure that products are available across assigned outlets. Customer service forms another part of the job, with representatives expected to interact with customers professionally while collecting and sharing useful information about the market.

The role also involves reconciling sales and stock at the end of the day. This requires some level of numeracy and attention to detail because the representative needs to keep track of what has moved through the sales process.

Payment collection is also included, with the vacancy emphasizing accurate cashless transactions. This means integrity and responsibility are particularly important qualities for the position.

The person hired will also be expected to take care of the tools assigned to them and ensure they remain in good working condition.

The Person Behind the Sales Numbers

The employer is looking for more than someone who can simply meet a sales target. The sales representative needs to be disciplined, organized and proactive.

Applicants should have a Diploma or Certificate in Sales and Marketing or an equivalent qualification in a related area. A KCSE mean grade of D+ or above is also specified, together with at least a D+ in Mathematics and English. Basic computer knowledge, including the use of Microsoft Office, is required.

At least two years of relevant FMCG sales experience is expected.

The vacancy also calls for someone who can remain flexible and resilient while working as part of a team. Self-discipline is important, as is an up-to-date Certificate of Good Conduct. Integrity and responsibility are particularly relevant given the sales, stock and payment-related aspects of the role.

A Different Side of Distribution: The Junior Accountant

While the sales representatives are focused heavily on customers, outlets and market activity, the Junior Accountant opportunity brings attention to what happens behind the numbers.

The position is based in Kiambu and is advertised as a full-time role with a gross salary of KSh 50,000. It requires three years of experience and is particularly suited to an accountant who has worked with accounts receivable and payable in an FMCG environment. Experience in distribution, stock reconciliation and bank reconciliation is also emphasized.

The position requires a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting and Finance or a related field. CPA would be an added advantage, while practical experience with MS Excel, QuickBooks and accounting software is expected.

Rather than being limited to one narrow accounting function, the role covers several areas of branch and business financial activity.

Where Branch Figures Meet Financial Control

One of the accountant's responsibilities is supporting daily cash-flow reconciliation and reporting across the business. This requires careful attention to transactions and an ability to identify differences that need to be investigated.

The position also involves overseeing operations for assigned branches and handling sales and revenue reconciliation. Invoices are receipted through SAP, while withholding tax receivables also form part of the work.

Petty cash is another area of responsibility. The accountant will reconcile petty cash and upload expenses, helping maintain accurate records of branch expenditure.

The role also reaches into profitability reporting. The successful candidate will prepare and track branch profitability reports, providing an opportunity to work with financial information that reflects how different branches are performing.

This is where analytical ability becomes important. An accountant working in this environment needs to do more than enter figures. They need to understand what the figures represent and recognize inconsistencies when they appear.

Stock, Banks and SAP Are All Part of the Picture

The Junior Accountant will conduct monthly bank reconciliations in SAP and reconcile loan payments while updating loan accounts within the SAP ERP system.

Branch visits, stock takes and reconciliations are also included in the position. This gives the role a practical connection to the distribution operation rather than keeping the accountant entirely behind a desk.

The accountant may also provide cover for colleagues who are away and assist with onboarding new staff. This means teamwork is an important part of the position, particularly within a finance department where work still needs to continue when individual team members are unavailable.

The ability to communicate well with colleagues and other departments is therefore important alongside technical accounting ability.

The Experience Needed for the Finance Opportunity

The Junior Accountant vacancy calls for at least three years of relevant experience, preferably within FMCG. Experience with accounts receivable and payable in a distribution environment is particularly relevant, together with exposure to stock and bank reconciliations.

Candidates should be comfortable working with MS Excel, QuickBooks and other accounting systems. Experience with SAP is also directly relevant because several responsibilities involve the ERP system.

Strong reporting and analytical skills are required, while communication and interpersonal ability are equally important. The employer is also looking for someone who demonstrates integrity, responsibility and a willingness to work as part of a team.

For an accountant who has already gained practical experience in a busy distribution environment, the position offers exposure to branch operations, cash flow, revenue, stock, banking and profitability.

Two Career Paths Within One Recruitment Drive

These vacancies offer different routes depending on a candidate's professional background.

Someone with FMCG sales experience, the required driving and motorcycle licences, and a willingness to work directly with outlets may find the Distributor Sales Representative roles more suitable. The positions are available in Gikambura, Mombasa and Kisumu, giving applicants several locations to consider.

An accounting professional with three years of relevant experience may instead be interested in the Junior Accountant position in Kiambu. That opportunity places greater emphasis on reconciliations, branch financial reporting, stock, SAP and accounting systems.

The common thread is the distribution environment. Whether the work involves getting products into outlets or ensuring that the resulting financial activity is properly recorded, both roles require people who are dependable, organized and capable of working accurately.

Current Application Details

The vacancies are being advertised by Execafrica Recruitment Limited. The three Distributor Sales Representative opportunities are listed for Gikambura, Mombasa and Kisumu, while the Junior Accountant position is based in Kiambu.

Applicants should carefully match their experience and qualifications with the specific position and location they are interested in before applying. For the sales roles, the motorcycle riding licence is a particularly important requirement, while the accounting opportunity places greater emphasis on relevant finance experience and accounting systems.

These openings provide opportunities for professionals at different stages of their careers to enter or continue working within sales, FMCG, distribution and finance. For candidates whose experience matches the requirements, the combination of practical responsibilities, defined locations and stated salary ranges makes these vacancies worth considering.
