Pretoria, Gauteng, South Africa Placement Pros Recruitment (Pty) Ltd Full time

About Us
The Entrepreneur Academy (FFA Academy) is an initiative by 54 Collective designed to make entrepreneurship accessible to all. Our work is focused on building the next generation of African entrepreneurs and enabling these entrepreneurs to build viable businesses.

By viability we mean the ability of a business to exist, to survive and grow. We have three missions: to create awareness of entrepreneurship as a possible pathway, decentralise access to the knowledge and resources needed to succeed as entrepreneurs, and accelerate the journey of aspiring and early-stage entrepreneurs. We achieve this through two programs: Explore and Business Support Accelerator.

Our Programs
We want to build a new generation of African entrepreneurs and build their capability to launch new businesses. Our Explore Program is designed to achieve this. Currently, the Explore Program is broken into two phases: Phase 1 is the Explore Course; a 4-week curriculum delivered digitally, designed to empower aspiring entrepreneurs to transform their ideas into viable solutions. Phase 2 is the Explore Lab where successful participants from Phase 1 have the opportunity to receive 5-weeks practical fieldwork including a customer discovery stipend and prototyping funds.

They also benefit from expert coaching. Business Support is a 12-week Accelerator Program designed to help new and early-stage businesses, in particular SMEs, grow further & faster in a sustainable way.

We provide businesses with significant resources for growth including grant funding and fully funded technical assistance. But what makes our program really different is our business coaches; experienced entrepreneurs in their own right, industry experts with subject matter expertise that are there to hold your hands, help you strategize, execute plans, and keep you accountable to your growth goals. We target businesses with a solution to a real problem and real paying users/customers.

Our goal is to help the businesses:
- Grow their revenue and expand their customer base.
- Refine and improve their business strategies.
- Improve their financial understanding and management capabilities.
- Build operational efficiencies.

The Communications Consultant Will:
- Develop the Entrepreneurs Academy's communications strategy and toolkit.
- Collaborate with the leadership to further refine and evolve the Entrepreneurs Academy's messaging for various stakeholders.
- Produce and disseminate strategic content on the Entrepreneurs Academy's work, including content for media partnership (4 case studies, 1 lessons learned report, 2 press releases, and thought leadership).
- Identify and develop an engagement plan for appropriate strategic partners to elevate EA's programmatic effort and results.
- Develop an events and content calendar relevant to EA mission and activities.
- Collaborate with teams to develop programs internal and external marketing and communications processes, including overseeing production of relevant collateral.
