Communications & Storytelling Assistant (Entry Level) at African Alliance Insurance Plc

About the Role

• We are seeking a sharp, curious, and discreet writer to assist in the development of long-form narratives for a confidential creative project operating within the international art and luxury space.
• This is not a standard PR role. You will be helping to build a "backstory" for an anonymous artist—drafting press releases, artist statements, fictional and non-fictionalarticles, and correspondence.
• The best candidates will have a natural talent for storytelling, a love of reading, and the maturity to handle confidential information.

Key Responsibilities

• Draft press releases and media materials in the voice of an anonymous artist/art galleries/critics.
• Write short fictional articles and blog posts that mimic independent journalism.
• Compose "I once metthe artist" and social proof anecdotes.
• Assist in maintaining a consistent narrative voice across multiple platforms.
• Conduct light research on art world language, luxury market trends, and collector psychology.

Requirements (Must-Haves)

• Education: Fluent in English, knowledge of Journalism, Mass Communication, History, or any related field.
• Portfolio/Writing Sample: If successful in the first round, you will be asked to provide 2-3 samples of creative or journalistic writing of your choice.
• Tone Control: Ability to write in different voices (formal, poetic, conversational, business-like).
• Discretion: Must be willing to sign a strict NDA. This project is confidential.
• Software: Comfortable with use of AI (or willing to learn), ability to use Word or similar, Teams (or willing to learn)and email.
• Access to a computer/laptop/tablet on which to do your work.

Nice-to-Haves (Not Required):

• Some familiarity with the art world (even if just following artists on Instagram).
• Experience ghostwriting for a boss or a social media account.
• A personal blog or a Medium account.

Who You Are:

• You are the friend who texts the funniest or most interesting stories.
• You are naturally curious about why people love certain things.
• You understand the difference between "marketing hype" and "a good story."
• You are a naturally positive person with ambition and drive to be the best. Mediocre or average won't do for this role.

What's in it for you

• You'll be part of a small, discreet team who value honest communication and accountability.
• You won't be judged for where you are from, or what background you have -your value is in who you are today, who you strive to be, and how you value others.
• Although this is essentially a contract role, you will get paid holiday (everyone needs rest to be the best), and the contract is open ended with promotion potential as the role grows.
• You can choose your own hours, whatever you feel works best for both your home life and the role itself.
