Content Manager - EdTech Startup
Help us lead the future of conversational learning in Africa.
We're pioneering conversational learning at scale in Africa, where mobile phones are often the primary gateway to education. We’re looking for someone who can help us shape how thousands of learners engage with content on the platform they use most - WhatsApp. Your work will directly impact whether they stay engaged and achieve real outcomes that change lives.
If you want to work at the intersection of pedagogy, technology, and user experience - where creativity meets data and strategy meets execution, and where you're genuinely building the future of accessible education in Africa, this is for you
What You'll Actually Do
You'll be the bridge between 'here's what learners need to know' and 'here's how we make that happen' on our Whatsapp learning platform that's currently reaching hundreds of thousands of learners across Africa. That means:
Bringing learning to life
Shepherd content from initial concept through production, deployment, and beyond
Write and refine conversational copy for our WhatsApp chatbot flows and microlearning scripts that feel human, not robotic
Making sure it works (and keeps working)
Monitor performance analytics and learner feedback like a detective looking for clues
Use that data to develop content optimisation processes and strategy
Own quality assurance across all content, like accuracy, tone, pedagogy, brand consistency, the works
Optimise relentlessly based on what the data and learners are telling you
Keeping the engine running smoothly
Organise and maintain back-end content systems (folders, CMS, dashboards) so nothing ever gets lost
Coordinate with tech and content teams to get content uploaded and published seamlessly
Manage post-learning engagement loops - WhatsApp groups, social channels, wherever learners are continuing the conversation
You Might Be Our Person If...
**You have experience in, or are passionate about**:
Experience in digital learning, instructional design, or content operations
Understanding of mobile-first approaches
Excellent project management skills
An analytical mind that's comfortable swimming in engagement data and surfacing insights
UX or conversational copywriting experience (or you can write learner-friendly content that feels effortless)
**Bonus points for**:
Understanding of the African education landscape and mobile-first learning contexts
Being the kind of collaborative communicator who makes cross-functional work actually enjoyable
**REQUIREMENTS**:
The Kind of Person Who'll Thrive Here
You're a proactive, systems thinker - You don't just produce content; you think about the entire learner journey and how every piece fits together.
You're naturally curious and organised. You're detail-obsessed in the best way - you notice when something's off and you can't rest until it's right. You care deeply about learner experience quality, and you get a little buzz from seeing engagement metrics tick upward because of something you optimised.
You enjoy working collaboratively, and you’re not afraid of the ups and downs of the startup world
