About the Role:
The successful candidate will join CfA’s Knowledge team which spearheads data liberation or digitisation and analysis for internal programmes at CfA and projects at external partners, including media and universities, assisting with data-driven storytelling or infographics as part of our mission to improve citizen and civic watchdog access to actionable information.
You will serve as the champion for all CfA’s Communities’ networks and lead the CfA’s Communities team. You will drive engagement and accelerate the growth of CfA’s networks of changemakers across the continent by organising offline and online community-related projects and other activities, including training and events. You should feel comfortable working with a specialised audience of investigators, journalists, and civil society organisations. You will also play a key managerial role, be given a breadth of responsibility, and work with multiple teams across Africa. You will, from time to time, coordinate with CfA’s business development team and the Knowledge Senior Programme Manager to initiate, expand, and maintain relationships with CfA’s institutional partners across Africa and support grant writing and applications.
Successful candidates will assist to conceptualise and produce data-driven journalism projects, leveraging CfA toolkits and resources as appropriate. In addition, the role will include mentoring journalists, providing input on story plans, helping shape digital design/packaging for projects, and assisting with the publication/syndication of CfA’s content with media partners. You will also manage the Communities’ projects, such as providing fellowship opportunities to Communities’ members and ensuring that fellowship deliverables and deadlines are met.
