You will own Zipline’s narrative in Africa, strengthen our brand across markets, and help champion the impact Zipline creates for governments, partners, and communities.
You understand what it takes to build trust with leaders, influence stakeholders, and guide decision-making during moments of opportunity and uncertainty.

- Prepare senior executives (including regional leadership) for key speeches, media opportunities, and strategic conversations.
- Develop messaging, presentations, briefing materials, and talking points.
- Ensure leaders communicate with clarity, alignment to global priorities, and cultural sensitivity across markets.
Leadership & Cross-Functional Partnership
- Serve as a trusted advisor to the Africa leadership team.
- Partner closely with global communications while tailoring strategy to Africa’s unique context.
- Influence decision-making, challenge assumptions, and articulate the communications implications of business choices.
- Build and manage agency relationships (PR, digital, creative) and leverage them efficiently in a resource-constrained environment.
- Build and lead a small yet mighty in-house team
What You’ll Bring
Must-Have Experience
- 8 years of relevant professional experience and at least 2-3 years building/managing a team/function
- Significant leadership experience in communications, PR, crisis management, or strategic communications.
- Success working in high-growth, high-complexity environments and thriving with limited resources.
