Educate! is a non-profit organization dedicated to transforming education in Africa to prepare youth to learn, earn, and thrive in today's economy. By 2035, Africa is expected to provide more young people to the global workforce than any other region. Educate! addresses the challenge of youth unemployment by partnering with governments and local communities to implement an employment-focused curriculum in secondary schools. The organization also delivers livelihood bootcamps for out-of-school youth, emphasizing support for rural girls and young women. With initiatives in Uganda, Rwanda, and Kenya, Educate! has become the largest youth employment and skills provider in East Africa, significantly improving income and educational outcomes for its participants.

📋 Description

• Build our pipeline of HNW prospects from the ground up. This means identifying the right individuals, organisations (think Jane Street, Anthropic, Bridgewater) family offices, donor-advised fund advisors, and giving networks; developing systems for prospect qualification and tracking; and creating a living, dynamic view of where every relationship stands and what it will take to move it forward. Expect to go deep on research, connect dots others miss, and build a prospecting infrastructure that scales well beyond you. • Implement and oversee the processes, tools, and engagement frameworks - including our CRM - that allow us to manage relationships at the highest standard - bespoke 1:1 engagement plans for our most promising prospects, and scalable stewardship approaches for a broader HNW audience. You will establish gold-standard practices that the function can grow into. • Build Educate!'s HNW-facing collateral: concise, compelling narratives, tailored pitch decks, funding menus, and bespoke briefings for priority prospects. We're looking for someone who can write and think clearly and strategically, and who can synthesize complex programmatic information into compelling, credible stories. • Design and coordinate intimate, high-value cultivation events - and other offerings - that deepen existing relationships and open new doors - in particular in high potential geographies (West Coast US, New York, London) leveraging our senior network. You will also increase Educate!'s visibility and presence at the most important external events in the HNW and philanthropy space. • Keep your finger on the pulse of the HNW philanthropic landscape - the publications, podcasts, Substacks, social channels, and communities that shape how high-capacity donors think about giving, impact, and global development. You will synthesize these insights and feed them to our communications team, ensuring that Educate!'s external voice consistently shows up where it matters most.

🎯 Requirements

• Early but clear evidence of high performance in demanding environments — whether in consulting, a fast-growth startup, a nonprofit, or elsewhere. You take ownership, you follow through, and you find a way to make things happen. • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, particularly for high-stakes, external-facing materials. You can turn a complex set of ideas into a compelling narrative - and you hold yourself to an unusually high bar. • Strong organizational skills and a bias for execution. You manage competing priorities without losing momentum, work independently to deadlines, and leave things more structured than you found them. • Some exposure to high-value external relationships, strategic initiatives, or fundraising - even in a supporting capacity. You understand the care and rigour required to build relationships that move large capital, and you’re ready to take on more ownership of that work. • The curiosity and intelligence to get up to speed quickly on Educate!'s work, our funder landscape, and the HNW philanthropy ecosystem. You don't need to know everything - you need to be the kind of person who finds out fast. • A deep commitment to Educate!'s mission and a genuine sense of responsibility for the relationships and workflows you manage. You understand that this work matters. • Fits our Five Culture Tenets (see What is Educate! About? below)

🏖️ Benefits

• This is a full-time position. A minimum two-year commitment is requested to best meet potential professional growth at Educate! and team needs. • This role is preferably based in the UK or East Africa. We are a distributed team and support flexible, high-trust working arrangements across time zones. • A vibrant, mission-driven environment with a supportive and fun team. • Competitive salary based on experience. • Learning & growth opportunities
