The Alliance for African Partnership (AAP) is seeking an experienced, organized, enthusiastic, energetic, creative, and results-oriented Africa-based communications professional to serve as communications coordinator for AAP’s consortium. The Communications Coordinator will be responsible for strategy development and implementation, digital communications, content creation and management, multimedia production, market research, copy editing, and internal and external communications. This is a full-time (100%), remote position with an initial 6-month contract with the possibility of renewal. This role reports directly to the Director of AAP Africa Office who is based in Malawi.
Through its communications strategy, the AAP seeks to grow its visibility and recognition on the African continent and at the same time ensure that communication on research, policy analysis, and other strategic messages from member universities remain relevant and accessible to priority audiences, including researchers from across the consortium, consortium administrators and university leaders, funders, policy makers, and development partners. The AAP seeks to achieve this by improving its communications approach and by strengthening the communications functions of AAP’s Africa office and its African member universities.
