Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa Intrinsic Full time R400 000 - R800 000 per year
Operations lead required for a dynamic Cape Town NPO

OceanHub Africa (OHA) is the continent's leading enabler of ocean-impact entrepreneurship. Headquartered in Cape Town at the V&A Waterfront, we support, connect, and invest in African ventures and ecosystem actors working at the intersection of ocean health, climate resilience, and sustainable livelihoods.
 
Through our venture support programs, knowledge partnerships, and convening platforms such as the Ocean Innovation Africa Summit, we build bridges between innovation and inclusion, science and entrepreneurship, grassroots communities and global capital. We are committed to shaping a just, regenerative, and blue economy, from coastal villages to regional venture ecosystems.

We seek to appoint an Operations Lead on a 12 month contract to lead the Venture Development, Coastal Community Development and Marketing and Communications teams to deliver the strategic goals and objectives of the organisation, as well as develop and establish systems, processes and procedures that will create a strong operational base for the delivery of OHA objectives.

You will lead a multi disciplinary team to create high performing operation delivery in an innovative entrepreneurial environment to realise OHA strategy.

Continuously assessing internal systems and workflows, recommending and implementing improvements for enhanced organizational efficiency and productivity is a key element of the role as is the development and implementation of marketing and communications strategies and instilling a culture of learning that leads to enhanced decision making.

To be considered for the role, you will need post graduate qualifications in Engineering, Business or similar.

You will have at least five years experience managing programs in entrepreneurship support organisations or people based consulting organisations with a demonstrable track record of delivering impact driven projects.

Exceptional communication skills and track record of delivering results using a collaborative approach coupled with strong project management and organisational skills with a keen eye for detail are essential as is a strong knowledge of Marketing, Communications, MEL and Reporting in a NPO environment

Knowledge of the African Blue Economy would be an advantage.

In return we offer the opportunity to showcase your operational  acumen whilst delivering strategic objectives to a fast paced high impact organisation and enjoying the mentorship and collaboration with a dynamic, purpose-driven team.
 
In addition to flexible, hybrid working arrangements and a market related salary, this role presents a unique opportunity to join a group of people who are focussed on making a real difference in the lives of individuals and communities whilst positively impacting sustainability, the environment and ocean economy. You will be exposed to and have the opportunity to create relationships with key industry players and thought leaders from around the world.
