• Reputation and Reporting: Protect confidentiality, flag sensitive issues, track content effectiveness, relevant audience engagement and visibility opportunities, and share concise performance updates. 

Requirements:

• A minimum of an OND in a related field
• A minimum of 2-4 years of relevant experience in communications, personal branding, public relations, journalism, digital marketing or related work; compelling portfolios will also be considered.

• Experience with LinkedIn and other relevant professional platforms, including professional community engagement, reputation-building and content performance improvement.
• Strategic thinking, initiative, discretion, organisation, reliability and the ability to collaborate closely with leadership and cross-functional teams. 
• A relevant degree may be helpful, but demonstrated ability and portfolio quality matter more than academic background.
