Job Description

ABOUT GENESIS:
In a world undergoing convulsive technological and political change, Genesis partners with key actors to deliver urgent, lasting impact in critical areas. Genesis, an impact consultancy founded, incorporated and headquartered in Africa, has worked in 52 African countries and more than 100 countries globally. Uniquely, Genesis is focused on the Young World - the arc of countries with young populations stretching across Africa, the Middle East, South Asia and parts of Southeast Asia.
Unencumbered by legacy systems, these nations can pioneer innovative models and chart a new path to prosperity. However, converting this potential into developmental gains is not guaranteed. At Genesis, we work alongside local partners to turn this opportunity into shared progress - helping the Young World move faster, more sustainably and on its own terms.
THE GROUP SERVICES PRACTICE:
Genesis Analytics is an African firm with a mission of social change and focus on finding new, measurable solutions to addressing the challenges and opportunities working in the majority world through a localised approach.
Group Services is the business partner of the eight practices that make up Genesis. The marketing communications unit builds the brand of Genesis by creating awareness of its work to prospective clients and new talent, as well as working with our colleagues to build the firm through internal communications.
You will be working with different practice areas - from Health to Human Development, Digital Livelihoods to Financial Services. No two days will be the same, and you will be constantly finding new and creative ways to convey complicated and challenging subject matter to our audiences.
LOCATION:
South Africa, Kenya or the United Kingdom
