Are you a dynamic and values-driven Communications Manager, passionate about respectful, sustainable, community-owned approaches to girls' education and young women's leadership? Do you thrive on working collaboratively across teams and time zones (North America to East Africa)?

We are looking for a nuanced communicator, strategic thinker and relationship-builder with sound judgment; a solid grounding in content strategies for social and digital media; and a proven track record of stewarding communications partnerships with corporate and institutional partners in the international nonprofit sector.

CAMFED has achieved unprecedented results in improving education outcomes among some of the world's most disadvantaged young people, and unlocking the power of young women to create the future they imagine  for themselves, for their communities, and for Africa. We have a reputation for being innovative, resourceful, and effective, and have attracted extensive support from a high-profile network that spans government, philanthropy, celebrity, and business.

We highlight this model by amplifying the voices and expertise of the girls we serve, and the change leaders they become.
