Performance Marketing Specialist - Lagos

ALX Africa

Lagos, Nigeria•6 months ago

Content and Social Media Specialist - Lagos

ALX Africa

Lagos, Nigeria•6 months ago

Do you believe that great content does more than entertain, it moves people closer to a decision? Do you understand the difference between content that gets likes and content that drives enrolments and do you know how to build a strategy that delivers both? Can you look at a social media dashboard and tell immediately what is working, what is performing for the wrong reasons, and what needs to change? Do you have a genuine feel for how Nigerian young professionals consume content, what stops their scroll, and what makes them trust a brand enough to invest in it? Can you write copy that sounds like a human being rather than a marketing department and do you do it quickly and consistently without needing three rounds of feedback to get it right? Do you thrive in environments where the brief is sometimes imperfect, the timeline is always tight, and the best ideas come from paying close attention to the audience? If so, this might just be the role for you. About ALX Africa ALX Africa, a non-profit organisation under the ALX Foundation, is dedicated to unlocking the potential of Africa's digital future.

Programme Officer (Field Support)

UNICEF

UN Premises•8 months ago

The assignment provides an opportunity for the selected staff member to contribute to UCO’s programme work in Health, Nutrition, Child Protection, Education, Social Policy, Social and Behavioural Change, Emergency and Operations and learn from issues relevant to Uganda and the Fort Portal area of concern context. The individual will lead the advancement of the results for children. During the assignment, the selected candidate will have the opportunity to collaborate with UNICEF’s national and sub-national implementing partners, namely the District Local Governments, other governmental counterparts, local and international NGOs, UN agencies, and other partners. The proposed position will be part of the FOE team. He/she will be accountable for managing and leading the total programme commitment of the districts of concern deemed to be under the former Fort Portal field office area within the country programme. The officer while working with the Field Officer and Chief of FOE will represent UNICEF in his/her Area of Responsibility (AoR), lead and oversee the various program sectors and operational service teams, ensuring the delivery of quality results in accordance with UNICEF’s programme of cooperation, country programme management plan and overall vision set forward by the Representative. The fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child, everywhere, in everything the organization does — in programmes, in advocacy and in operations. The equity strategy, emphasizing the most disadvantaged and excluded children and families, translates this commitment to children’s rights into action. For UNICEF, equity means that all children have an opportunity to survive, develop and reach their full potential, without discrimination, bias or favouritism. To the degree that any child has an unequal chance in life — in its social, political, economic, civic and cultural dimensions — her or his rights are violated. There is growing evidence that investing in the health, education and protection of a society’s most disadvantaged citizens — addressing inequity — not only will give all children the opportunity to fulfil them potential but also will lead to sustained growth and stability of countries. This is why the focus on equity is so vital. It accelerates progress towards realizing the human rights of all children, which is the universal mandate of UNICEF, as outlined by the Convention on the Rights of the Child, while also supporting the equitable development of nations.
