Where you will work:

We have a great office in one of Nairobi's quieter suburbs near the  
city centre with lots of windows and a very open floor plan. We dress  
down most of the time, but are always at our best in front of  
clients.​ We are professional and the management team is very hands  
on and engaged with the work that is done.

We try very hard not to require more hours that are required of anyone  
and we strive to work 8.30 to 5.00 pm every day with a one hour lunch  
break.​  That said, we're flexible and recognize that we all have  
lives outside of the office - and we also know that sometimes,  
especially when deadlines demand it, normal working hours just won't  
get the job done.​  When it doesn't, we act accordingly - and we show  
our appreciation when people step-up.​  We use our leave days and so  
will you, for your sanity and ours.​

If think that your that special talent we may be looking for, kindly  
send us your CV on jobs at dotsavvyafrica.com by the 10th August 2009.
