Role Overview
The ATCG Coordinator will serve as the operational focal point for advancing initiatives stemming from the 2025 Convening. This includes implementing the pilot phase of the LaaS project, coordinating policy submissions (e.g., IP Policy, Blockchain & Space Strategies), overseeing membership growth and engagement, and ensuring consistent communication across the network. The ideal candidate will have strong project management skills, familiarity with Africa’s tech or creative ecosystems, and the ability to work independently while effectively collaborating with diverse stakeholders.
Key Responsibilities
Project Management & Implementation
- Oversee the Localisation-as-a-Service (LaaS) pilot, including scheduling, platform updates, member onboarding, and feedback collection.
- Develop and maintain a detailed work plan to ensure all post-Convening action items (e.g., membership refresh, policy requests, capital engagement) are executed on time.
Membership Engagement & Network Growth
- Lead the membership registration drive, validate existing member data, and maintain an up-to-date membership database (including skill sets, locations, and service offerings).
- Drive member communication, including newsletters, social media posts, and email updates, ensuring members are informed about upcoming events, policy discussions, and collaboration opportunities.
Policy Liaison & Advocacy Support
- Coordinate ATCG’s policy engagements with ministries and government agencies (e.g., IP Policy request, Blockchain & Space Strategy consultations).

- Identify and cultivate new strategic partnerships (local and pan-African) to expand ATCG’s reach and impact.
Events & Workshops Coordination
- Organize working group sessions, webinars, or roundtables (e.g., on African capital engagement) to support ongoing discussions and knowledge-sharing within the network.
- Coordinate logistics for any in-person or virtual events, ensuring smooth execution and clear post-event follow-up.
Communications & Marketing
- Develop engaging content (e.g., blog posts, social media updates, newsletters) highlighting member stories, LaaS success cases, and ATCG milestones.
- Manage the ATCG website and online channels (in collaboration with tech partners) to ensure accurate, up-to-date information.
Reporting & Documentation
- Track KPIs (e.g., membership growth, number of LaaS matches, policy engagement milestones, investor interest).
- Prepare monthly or quarterly progress reports for the ATCG Leadership and funding partners (including CcHUB).
- Document best practices, lessons learned, and success stories to guide future scaling of ATCG initiatives.
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Business, Communications, Technology, Creative Arts, or a related field. A Master’s degree is a plus but not required.
- 3+ years of proven experience in operations, project management, or community coordination within tech or creative industries in Africa.
- Demonstrated track record of working with startups, creative enterprises, or tech hubs—experience in cross-border or pan-African contexts is highly beneficial.

- Strong organizational skills with the ability to juggle multiple tasks and priorities simultaneously.
- Excellent communication (written and verbal) and interpersonal skills, with the ability to engage and influence a diverse set of stakeholders.
