What kinds of jobs are available in Nairobi?
Nairobi hosts Kenya’s corporate headquarters, the UN’s Africa headquarters in Gigiri, and the country’s largest concentration of SMEs — so openings span every level. The busiest categories on this page are typically sales jobs, driver jobs, security jobs, office and administration roles, IT jobs, and NGO/UN positions based in Gigiri and Westlands. Entry-level and casual jobs across Industrial Area, Eastleigh and the CBD are added daily.
How much do jobs in Nairobi pay?
Pay in Nairobi varies widely by occupation and employer. The Regulation of Wages (General) (Amendment) Order, 2024, the latest general wage order located on the Ministry of Labour site as at 31 August 2026, puts Nairobi in the highest location cluster and gives a different legal minimum for each listed occupation. Treat that table as a floor, then compare current adverts for the same role and experience level. See our Kenya salary guides for public-service scales and market context.
