Associate Production Manager
Kigali, Rwanda
Our Mission
Ampersand is an energy and mobility startup headquartered in Kigali, Rwanda. We‘re achieving the world’s first true mass-market shift to electric vehicles, a vital tipping point in the fight against climate change.
East Africa’s 5 million moto-taxi drivers are some of the hardest working people on the planet. Many days these drivers work more than 13 hours yet end up with little money in their pockets. Our energy and vehicle service platforms offer savings that can double a driver’s income.
Our electric motorcycles offer superior performance vs petrol motorbikes and reduce carbon emissions by more than 75%. Converting just one of Rwanda’s 100,000 petrol motorbikes to electricity is the equivalent of the carbon captured by 128 trees.
In order to accomplish all this, we are building a world-class team of mission-driven innovators, engineers, and managers that are ready to serve this mission and address the hard problems.
