British High Commission Jobs in Pretoria South Africa - Head of Digital Vacancies

In Cape Town last summer, the British Prime Minister made a new and distinctive offer for the UK to work alongside, invest in and partner with African nations to deliver more opportunities, more jobs and greater stability – both in the UK and across Sub-Saharan Africa.

To deliver these new partnerships, HMG is rebooting its ability to deliver creative communication campaigns across the continent, with the launch of the Africa Campaigns Hub – and we are looking for a confident, energetic and creative senior digital communications professional, with in-depth knowledge of social media and digital production to join this new team in Pretoria.

The Africa Campaigns Hub will be a team of 14 communications specialists split between London, Pretoria, Nairobi and Abuja, designing and delivering creative communications campaigns.

This role, with management responsibility for the pan-African digital campaigns team, will be based in the British High Commission in Pretoria, working closely with and complementing the existing HMG communicators network across Sub-Saharan Africa.

The core team in Pretoria – with regional campaign support in Abuja and Nairobi – will bring specialist skills in campaign delivery, strategic communication, digital, insight, monitoring and evaluation to the network.

Working alongside the Head of Campaigns, you will be responsible for designing impactful and targeted digital communications, developing and producing high-quality, engaging digital content for pan-African, regional and local communication campaigns.

You will be enthusiastic and proactive; a confident consultant, advisor and trainer; and have sector knowledge and senior experience of digital campaign planning and engaging content development.

With an eye for emerging communications trends, you will have a passion for sharing your communications skills with others.

You will also have experience of managing a junior team member, helping them deliver to their full potential.

You should also expect to travel, across the region and to the UK.
