ABOUT ALU
African Leadership University (ALU) is a higher education institution developing the next generation of ethical and entrepreneurial leaders on the continent. Our students declare missions, not majors. They develop the real-world skills to take on the world's most pressing challenges — and they take ownership of their learning from day one.
We are not just an academic institution. We are a launchpad for Africa's next generation of leaders and a movement redefining what education on the continent can be. Together with a world-class faculty and staff, our students are igniting a ripple of positive impact across Africa and the world — building from scratch, thriving in ambiguity, and leading Africa into a prosperous 21st century.
We believe that ours is one of the most compelling stories in global education. We're looking for the leader who can tell it, build a brand worthy of it, and grow the community that carries it forward.
We are dedicated to fostering an open yet secure environment, balancing the safety of students, staff, and visitors with respect for individual rights, and safeguarding responsibilities.
ABOUT THE TEAM
The ALU Brand, Communications & Marketing team is the steward for everything ALU stands for. They shape how the world experiences the ALU brand, and build the digital engine that turns awareness into belonging, and belonging into action.
This is a team of diverse personalities, nationalities, and backgrounds, working together across roughly seven locations. They thrive on aligned autonomy: where every person takes full ownership of their work and the results they deliver, while staying tightly connected to each other and to a shared set of objectives.
The African Leadership University team is committed to ensuring the safety and Well-being of all students under our care. As part of this commitment, we have a comprehensive safeguarding policy in place, which outlines our Zero-tolerance approach to any violation of safeguarding.
ABOUT THE ROLE
As Director of Brand, Communications & Marketing, you are the chief architect and steward of the ALU brand.
The ALU brand does not live in a logo or a campaign. It lives in every interaction we have with the people who connect with us, from prospective students and parents, to alumni, partners, donors and funders, employers, faculty, staff and the wider public.
Every stakeholder we engage is an important part of our journey. We want people to understand not only the impact ALU has on them, but also the impact they have on ALU and the wider community we are building. Your role is to bring all of these relationships together through a clear, coherent and compelling brand, so that each stakeholder understands where they fit and why their relationship with ALU matters.
