Candidate Profile
We are looking for a creative, digitally fluent and highly proactive individual who understands how social media platforms work and what drives audience engagement.
The candidate should have a strong interest in digital communications, social media, content creation and storytelling, with the ability to turn relatively complex subjects into content that is clear, accessible and engaging.
Good working knowledge of multiple platforms, particularly LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube and X, is expected. Familiarity with SEO, Google Analytics/Search Console, keyword research, content optimization and digital marketing tools will be an advantage.
Experience with tools such as Canva, Adobe Creative Suite, CapCut or other video/content creation platforms will be valued.
The candidate should have strong written English, attention to detail and an ability to adapt communication for different audiences and platforms. An interest in development, financial inclusion, sustainability, livelihoods, social impact or public policy would be an advantage.
Most importantly, we are looking for someone who is curious, creative and willing to experiment, understands digital trends and is keen to learn what works—and what does not—in building digital engagement.
