About the Role

We are recruiting a Spanish-Speaking Fleet Manager on behalf of our client, an international company with a growing vehicle fleet. In this role, you will oversee day-to-day fleet operations remotely, coordinating with Spanish- and English-speaking drivers, vendors, and internal teams to keep vehicles compliant, maintained, and on the road. You’ll be the central point of contact for everything fleet-related, from scheduling and maintenance to cost control and reporting.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage the full lifecycle of the client’s fleet, including acquisition, registration, maintenance, and disposal of vehicles
• Communicate fluently in Spanish and English with drivers, mechanics, suppliers, and internal stakeholders
• Schedule and track preventative maintenance, repairs, inspections, and servicing to minimise downtime
• Monitor vehicle usage, fuel consumption, mileage, and driver behaviour using fleet management and telematics systems
• Ensure all vehicles and drivers meet licensing, insurance, safety, and regulatory requirements
• Manage accident, incident, and damage reporting, including insurance claims and follow-up
• Negotiate with and manage vendors such as repair shops, fuel providers, leasing companies, and insurers
• Track fleet expenses and identify opportunities to reduce costs and improve efficiency
• Maintain accurate fleet records, documentation, and databases
• Prepare regular reports on fleet performance, costs, and compliance for management
• Support driver onboarding, including policy communication and training coordination

Requirements

• Fluency in Spanish and English (written and spoken) — non-negotiable
• 3+ years’ experience in fleet management, fleet coordination, logistics, or transport operations
• Experience with fleet management software and/or telematics platforms (e.g. Samsara, Geotab, Fleetio, or similar)
• Solid understanding of vehicle maintenance schedules, compliance, and insurance processes
• Strong working knowledge of Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets for tracking and reporting
• Experience working with international clients or teams is advantageous
• A relevant qualification in logistics, supply chain, transport management, or business is advantageous

To Be Successful, You’ll Need To

• Be able to work on-site at our office in Kenya, during non-traditional local hours to align with the client’s time zone
• Be highly organised, with the ability to juggle multiple vehicles, drivers, and vendors at once
• Communicate clearly and confidently across cultures and languages
• Be proactive and solution-driven, especially when handling breakdowns, incidents, or urgent issues
• Have strong attention to detail and a commitment to accurate record-keeping
• Be a confident negotiator who keeps costs under control without compromising safety
• Work independently while staying accountable to a remote team
