Beyond our flagship conference, we are building a vibrant, year-round community that connects people, sparks conversations, and drives impact across Africa and beyond.
The Role
We are looking for a Community Manager who doesn’t just manage a community—but builds one people genuinely want to belong to.

- Create meaningful engagement—conversations, polls, discussions, and community-led content
- Develop and manage a strong community voice aligned with TEDx values
Content & Storytelling
- Collaborate with the media team to create content that sparks dialogue, not just views
- Highlight community stories, speaker journeys, and behind-the-scenes moments

- Ensure every interaction with TEDxMaitama feels intentional, premium, and human

Partnerships & Ecosystem Building
- Identify and collaborate with relevant communities, creators, and organizations

- Continuously refine what works (and cut what doesn’t)

- You’ve built or managed a community before (online or offline)
- You are creative, proactive, and deeply organized
- You are an excellent communicator (written and verbal)
- You are culturally aware and understand African creators, and innovation spaces
- You don’t wait for instructions—you see gaps and act
Nice to Have

- Familiarity with tools like Notion, Slack, Meta Business Suite, analytics tools, etc.
