The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has announced a recruitment drive, offering over 250 job opportunities across various positions. The openings include more than 200 graduate trainee roles, 50 drivers, a data centre operations officer, a knowledge management officer, and a data integration personnel. Additionally, the Authority is seeking to hire a security tools operations officer, a business application support officer, and a revenue assurance officer.
In a notice released on Tuesday, August 19, KRA emphasized that applicants must be results-oriented, self-driven, dynamic, and possess high integrity to be considered for the positions. Interested candidates are advised to visit the KRA website at kra.go.ke for detailed job descriptions and specifications.
The application process begins with registration on the KRA portal. Applicants must navigate to the ‘Careers’ section, click the ‘Register’ button, and confirm their email address to complete registration. Following this, candidates can log in using their username and password to access the ‘Applicant Cockpit’. Within the portal, applicants are required to update their profiles under the ‘Candidate Profile’ tab and complete all mandatory fields. The final step involves submitting the application via the ‘Overview and Release’ tab.
Successful candidates will be required to provide several key documents, including a valid certificate of good conduct from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), a clearance certificate from the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB), and a valid KRA tax compliance certificate. Applicants must also submit a current report from an approved Credit Reference Bureau (CRB).
The deadline for submitting online applications is September 8, 2025. KRA noted that only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.
In line with its commitment to diversity and inclusion, KRA encouraged applications from people with disabilities, marginalized groups, and ethnic minorities. The Authority clarified that there are no fees at any stage of the recruitment process, including application, processing, or interviews.
This recruitment drive presents a significant opportunity for Kenyans seeking to advance their careers in public service, particularly in areas of finance, technology, and administration, as KRA continues to strengthen its workforce to enhance revenue collection and operational efficiency.
