You should be comfortable handling multiple complex projects at once, have experience of data-driven decision-making, and communicate clearly to diverse stakeholders. You thrive in a high-performance environment and want to optimize your career for impact.
You’ll work on cross-functional projects across the organization –– with other teams in Growth, as well as Research, Finance, and Operations. Finally, you’ll be driven by a deep dedication to shifting the status quo in the philanthropy space by putting aid budgets directly in the hands of recipients. This role is fully remote but will need to overlap with an East Africa timezone by at least 4 hours.
This Manager should spike on:

- Combination of big picture / details thinking: Can think strategically while still getting the specifics right. Eagle eye for the details that matter.

- Rational thinking and common sense: Uses good judgment and reasoned thinking to pattern match and make decisions.
Key Responsibilities

- Donor-Facing Content Development
- Develop compelling content and execute strategic distribution across owned, paid, and earned channels such as advertising, influencer partnerships, reports, website, webinars, email, and social media.
- Manage content execution end-to-end, ensuring alignment with organizational messaging and audience targeting. Collaborate with our design, content collection, and marketing automation teams.
- Growth Acquisition Initiatives & Marketing Experiments
