Requirements
Bachelor's degree or Higher Diploma (required) in Communications, Public Relations, Journalism, Marketing, International Development, Business Administration or a closely related discipline.

Track record of developing and executing media strategies that have delivered measurable results (media placements, share of voice, coverage quality) across diverse media environments.
Experience in a fast-paced or high-growth context, whether in off-grid energy, PAYG finance, fintech, telecommunications, FMCG, international development or closely related sectors.
Demonstrated experience producing high-quality written communications across formats — press releases, op-eds, speeches, investor materials, website copy and long-form features — for both Anglophone and Francophone audiences.
Experience using data platforms or analytics tools to inform and shape communications narratives; familiarity with CMS platforms (WordPress) and basic design tools (Canva, Adobe Creative Suite) is an advantage.
