(Hotel/
Cafe)
Job
description
We are in the
initial planning stages of opening a mid-range, 16-room hotel and cafe in
Kigali. We hope that this will not only be a hotel, but a landing place for
business people interested in investing in Rwanda, and a gathering space for
new entrepreneurs. Our goal is to help build a better Rwanda, and this is just
one of several businesses that we will help to start and incubate.
We are seeking an
e
ntrepreneur to:
- Research
and purchase land - Supervise
construction contractor - Run
the hotel including a dozen hotel staff - Help
to develop the careers of hotel staff and train them in hospitality
management - Market
the hotel online and locally - Conduct
innovative activities such as selling blocks of rooms to organizations,
convening the entrepreneurship community for “entrepreneurship
nights,” and creating a transparent, hassle-free online booking
system.
The entrepreneur
will report directly to a proven, successful social entrepreneur in Kigali.
We are seeking:
- A
capable entrepreneur. This role starts with building and/ or running a
hotel, but there is significant room for career growth in several related
enterprises over time. Prior hospitality experience is ideal, but not
required. - Prior
leadership experiences and/ or high-quality work experiences are
desirable. - A
values-driven person who is genuinely passionate about helping to build a
better Rwanda through entrepreneurship. - Someone
that is passionate about delivering only the highest quality and excellent
customer service. - International
or country nationals encouraged to apply. - Must
speak fluent English. French and/ or Kinyrwanda are a plus. - Minimum
1.5 years commitment required (for this venture and follow-on ventures).
Salary starts
relatively low initially, but will be sufficient for a young single person to
live a comfortable life. Over time, we believe this role presents a career
opportunity with sigifnicant room for expansion into other ventures and
significant upside for a real, long-term career. Limited employee equity shares
will be awarded.
