Campaigns Lead at Africa No Filter

The Role

Africa No Filter is seeking an ambitious, strategic, and execution‑driven Campaigns Lead to drive the design, coordination, and delivery of the Opportunity Africa campaign.

This is a senior, hands‑on role for someone who understands how large‑scale campaigns are built, financed, and sustained—across multiple stakeholders, countries, platforms, and audiences. The Campaigns Lead will be responsible for translating Opportunity Africa’s vision into a cohesive, high‑impact campaign that delivers measurable narrative, engagement, and visibility outcomes.

The role requires a rare blend of strategic thinking, campaign management, partnership building, and communications leadership, with the ability to operate comfortably at both big‑picture and operational levels.

The successful candidate will be highly comfortable working with emerging technologies. They should be confident exploring, adopting, and integrating AI-driven tools and solutions to improve campaign planning, content creation, audience targeting, monitoring, and learning. This includes a proactive approach to identifying AI-platforms, working with technical partners where needed, and using data and insights to inform strategy and decision-making. The role requires curiosity, adaptability, and a willingness to continuously test and evolve new tools in a fast-moving communications and narrative-change environment.

Core Campaign Framework

The Opportunity Africa campaign is built on  5 interconnected pillars, all of which fall under the leadership of this role:

• Global Coalition – convening and coordinating partners across governments, corporates, media, creatives, multilaterals, and civil society around a shared Opportunity Africa narrative.
• Brand Campaign – leading the development and rollout of a strong, recognisable Opportunity Africa brand and messaging architecture.
• Supporting Tools & Toolkits – overseeing the creation of practical tools, assets, and guidelines that enable partners to implement and amplify the campaign consistently.
• Storytellers & Influencer Programmes – working with our grants team to identify and work with creators, influencers and cultural leaders to expand the Opportunity Africa campaign.
• PR & Communications Campaigns – driving earned media, thought leadership, and strategic communications to maximise reach, relevance, and impact.

The role will manage complex timelines, multiple workstreams as identified above as well as external partners. The role will ensure alignment with the strategic intent and governance of the Campaign Fund (without fundraising responsibility), and track performance through clear KPIs, learning, and narrative impact metrics to continuously strengthen delivery.
