Full-time | Kenya (Nairobi-based, travel required) | Reports to the CEO

About MoFund Africa
MoFund Africa connects African-led organizations to the capital they need, through the Africa Impact Academy, a rigorous 10-month capacity-building programme, and the Africa Bridgeworks Fund, which deploys catalytic grants to the changemakers who graduate from it. SikaIQ, our proprietary impact platform, tracks and surfaces the data that makes funders
confident and founders visible.

We are a small dedicated team where everyone here carries a set of tasks all in alignment with the purpose for our work, driven by our values and the desire to be as efficient as possible, deriving joy from fulfillment of personal career goals as well organizational goals.

The Role
The Community Manager is the person who holds the Africa Impact Academy community together, between cohort sessions, across countries, and beyond the formal programme cycle. While the programme team runs delivery, the Community Manager runs belonging. The value of the Africa Impact Academy is not only what entrepreneurs learn during the 10 months, it is also the network they join and the visibility they earn by being part of it.

This is a relationship-intensive role and you will manage communications that keep the cohort informed and engaged, coordinate physical gatherings and events, and turn the stories emerging from within the community into content that represents our members with accuracy and dignity to donors, partners, and the community from which the changemakers we support come from. You report directly to the CEO, which means your work is visible at the top and your judgement is trusted.
This role does not have direct reports.

Your Core Tasks
Community Engagement
You are the primary point of contact for social entrepreneurs enrolled in the Africa Impact Academy. You will manage the rhythm of engagement across the cohort, from weekly check-ins and group communications to individual follow-ups that ensure no member goes quiet or falls behind without anyone noticing. You will build a community where members feel known, connected to each other, and invested in what MoFund is building.

Communications and Updates
You will own internal communications for the AIA community. This means writing and sending programme updates, managing information flow between the team and the cohort, and making sure every member always knows what is happening, what is expected of them, and what is coming next. Clear communication is how you protect the trust entrepreneurs place in us when they commit their time to this programme.

Events and Gatherings
You will coordinate physical and virtual gatherings that support member learning and connection. This includes in programme learning sessions, community meet-ups, and external events that MoFund supports its members to attend. You will handle logistics, prepare members ahead of time, and follow up after to capture what was learned or committed to.

Storytelling and Content Curation
You will surface the stories emerging from within the community and translate them into content for donor reports, impact communications, and the MoFund Africa website. The entrepreneur impact stories are the evidence of what African-led organizations can do when they are properly supported. You will work with the program team to ensure that every piece of content produced about our members is accurate, dignified, and true to their story.

Alumni and Network Development
You will maintain engagement with AIA alumni after graduation, tracking their progress, monitoring & linking them to relevant opportunities including funding from the Africa Bridgeworks Fund, and ensuring they remain part of a network that grows more valuable with every cohort we run.

Who we are looking for

• You have experience building or managing communities in a programme, membership, or impact-focused environment. You understand that a community such as ours needs someone who shows up consistently, notices who is missing, and creates the conditions where people want to stay engaged.
• You are a good writer with the ability to produce, clear messaging, framing of human interest stories, and capturing learning moments that matter. You can write a paragraph about an entrepreneur’s work that captures what they actually do, and what their work means for different subsets of the community they come from, not just what sounds good in a report.
• You are well organised without needing everything to be structured for you. You can manage a gathering for people, coordinate different logistics threads, and still find the headspace to send a thoughtful follow-up to a member who seemed uncertain in the last session.
• You care about the people you work with, not as beneficiaries of a programme, but as founders building real things in contexts that rarely give them the support they deserve.

Attributes

• Four or more years of experience in community management, programme facilitation, or communications within a nonprofit, social enterprise, accelerator, or membership organization.
• A track record of managing member or participant communities across different communication channels, both digital and in-person.
• Strong written communication skills, with the ability to produce content that is clear, warm, and representative of real people and their work.
• Experience coordinating events or gatherings, including logistics, member preparation, and post-event follow-through.
• Comfort with the pace and ambiguity of a small, fast-moving organization where the work does not wait for a process to be built first.
• Familiarity with the African social enterprise, philanthropy, or development ecosystem.
• The ability to work across countries and time zones without losing the personal touch that community management requires.

What you are joining
We are a small team doing work that is not small. The Africa Impact Academy already graduated its fist cohort, funded a small number of those that graduated and getting ready to roll this years cohort.

There are no departments to absorb the tasks you do not want. What there is is a clear mission you can believe in, a CEO who values honest and competent peers, a team that trusts each other, a Board that leads with cadence, and the chance to contribute to
something that changes how African-led organizations are seen, funded, and celebrated.

If this sounds like you, let us talk.
Deadline is 15th July 2026
