ROLE OVERVIEW

We are seeking an experienced Odoo Implementation Consultant to join our growing team. The successful candidate will be responsible for leading and supporting end-to-end Odoo implementations for our clients across various industries, ensuring seamless delivery from requirements gathering through to go-live and post-implementation support.

KEY REQUIREMENTS

Experience & Technical Skills

• 2–3 years of hands-on Odoo implementation experience (Odoo 16 and above preferred)

• Demonstrated expertise across core Odoo modules including but not limited to: Accounting & Finance, Inventory & Warehouse Management, Manufacturing (MRP), Sales & CRM, Purchase, HR & Payroll, and Project Management

• Proven experience with third-party integrations, particularly with local and regional platforms such as M-Pesa (Daraja API) and KRA (eTIMS / TIMS compliance)

• Strong understanding of Odoo functional configuration, customisation workflows, and inter-module dependencies

Stakeholder Management & Communication — CRITICAL

This is a non-negotiable area of competence for this role. We will not be moving forward with candidates who cannot demonstrate this clearly.

• Proven ability to manage complex stakeholder environments — engaging confidently and credibly with IT Directors, Finance Heads, Operations Managers, and C-suite representatives throughout the project lifecycle

• Demonstrated experience delivering Odoo implementations on large-scale projects involving 100+ end users — candidates must be able to speak to specific projects of this scale, the challenges encountered, and how they were navigated

• Exceptional verbal and written communication skills — able to translate technical concepts into clear, business-relevant language for non-technical audiences

• Experience managing competing priorities and differing stakeholder expectations across departments, particularly where business processes are being significantly changed

• Ability to drive buy-in, manage resistance to change, and maintain stakeholder confidence throughout the implementation journey

• Comfortable facilitating workshops, steering committee presentations, and executive-level project updates

Project & Client Delivery

• Demonstrated track record of successfully delivering Odoo projects within Kenya and/or the wider East African market

• Experience conducting functional user training and developing training materials tailored to varying levels of end-user proficiency

• Hands-on involvement in User Acceptance Testing (UAT) — test plan preparation, execution, issue logging, and sign-off coordination

• Ability to coordinate project management activities including project plans, milestone tracking, resource coordination, and status reporting

• Experience providing post-go-live user support, troubleshooting, and system optimisation

Personal Attributes

• A confident, articulate communicator who can hold a room - whether in a boardroom or a shop floor training session

• Highly organised with the ability to manage multiple client engagements simultaneously

• A proactive problem-solver who thrives under pressure and in ambiguous, fast-moving environments

• Comfortable working both independently and as part of a collaborative team
