You’ll produce content across our website, social media, newsletters, and reports, and work closely with leadership to keep messaging tied to business goals. Campaign performance sits with you too: watch the numbers, read the feedback, adjust.

- Handle internal communications so the team and stakeholders stay aligned on messaging.
- Work with leadership to tie communications to business objectives.

- Video editing skills for short-form and long-form content (CapCut, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or similar).
- Bachelor’s degree in Communications, Marketing, Public Relations, Journalism, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- Able to work on-site in Dar es Salaam, collaborate across teams, and juggle multiple projects and deadlines without letting things slip.
- Prior experience in emerging markets, startups, or impact-focused organizations is a plus.
- Sharp organizational skills, strong attention to detail, and comfort using communications and analytics tools.
