Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa SmartStart South Africa Full time
Job Overview
As a Senior Communications and Advocacy Specialist, you will play a critical role in leading our efforts using social influence to collect people's efforts and change behaviours and mindsets. This includes building and inspiring a country-wide movement (wider than SmartStart) to establish early learning as a societal priority and leveraging the power of the SmartStart brand to accelerate network growth and wider progress towards early learning for all focused on those most excluded.

Responsibilities
Some of your key responsibilities will include developing coherent, clear, informative, engaging and influential communications to our national network of practitioners, parents, and frontline staff, stimulating and influencing multi-way communications within and across the network in service of our purpose and strategy, and driving the development of communications campaigns that move people themselves to influence and 'convert' others to take action for the societal cause of quality early learning for all. You will also lead the targeting and creation of appropriate communications that stimulate and reinforce changes in behaviour, engage role-players with overlapping and/or complementary interests, e.g. basic education, gender justice and employment and micro-(social-)enterprise and social justice, and collaborate with partners to create popular demand (economic & political) for and expectations of quality, affordable early learning for all.
