Stears Open Data, a nonprofit organization based in Lagos, Nigeria, is dedicated to producing and sharing data that helps leaders and citizens better understand Africa’s development. With a focus on urbanization, governance, and public goods, the organization’s work provides the insights needed to plan for sustainable growth. As the social impact arm of Stears, a provider of financial research for global investors, Stears Open Data is preparing to launch as an independent brand, complete with its own digital presence to amplify its mission. One of its notable projects, such as mapping African elections, showcases the team’s expertise and commitment to impactful work.

To support this growth, we are seeking a Social Media Content Creator who can bring creativity and strategic thinking to the team. This individual will help establish a strong digital footprint for Stears Open Data, turning data and statistics into visually engaging and shareable content. The ideal candidate will excel in crafting innovative posts, infographics, and animations that reflect our mission while managing social media platforms with precision and flair. The role spans two major marketing campaigns: a brand soft launch and a project mapping Lagos’ ferry routes. Both campaigns run from January 27 to March 20, and the selected candidate will be responsible for creating all campaign materials and maintaining day-to-day social media operations.

This is a remote role, open to candidates across Africa, offering the flexibility to contribute from anywhere while delivering high-quality content. The candidate will work closely with our team to shape the brand’s voice, establish a consistent online presence, and foster engagement with our growing audience. Strong design skills, proficiency in motion graphics, and a flair for storytelling through social media are essential to succeed in this role.

In addition to content creation, the Social Media Content Creator will handle scheduling posts, tracking engagement, and analyzing performance metrics. Using tools like Hootsuite or Buffer, they will ensure content is posted on time and aligns with organizational goals. Beyond technical skills, we are looking for someone who can think creatively, manage multiple deadlines, and stay updated on trends to ensure our content remains innovative. Regular check-ins during the first week will help integrate the candidate into our workflow, while ongoing collaboration will allow for alignment on messaging and priorities.

This position is ideal for someone who has a strong portfolio showcasing their ability to create impactful content, including animations, videos, and posts tailored to different platforms. Experience with graphic design tools, familiarity with social media analytics, and a passion for storytelling through data are crucial. While not mandatory, a background in nonprofit work or an interest in African development topics will be an advantage.

Stears Open Data offers the opportunity to contribute to meaningful work that highlights Africa’s growth and potential. If you’re passionate about creating engaging content and want to be part of an organization making a difference, we invite you to apply.
