Co-creation HUB is the leading pan-African creative and innovation ecosystem enabler. In 2010, we started out as Nigeria's premier innovation center dedicated to accelerating the application of social capital and technology for economic prosperity in Nigeria. We have since grown our physical presence to five cities (Lagos, Abuja, Kigali, Nairobi and Windhoek) across Africa and we work closely with stakeholders - including entrepreneurs, civil society organizations, government, and private sector - to identify and nurture novel solutions to social challenges in Africa.

In 2017, Co-Creation HUB launched Growth Capital in partnership with Omidyar Network, Bank of Industry, and Venture Garden Group to provide early-stage funding for startups driving social change. In February 2019, Co-creation HUB opened a Design Lab in Kigali, Rwanda focused on Research and Development and Human Centered Design to enable innovation for social impact. Our Kigali Centre collaborates with global stakeholders to explore the application of technology to solve Africa’s systemic problems in education, public health, education, governance and our other areas of work. In September 2019, we expanded our footprint by acquiring iHUB in Nairobi, Kenya, strengthening our commitment to supporting entrepreneurs and innovators across the continent. In 2020, we launched CcHUB Syndicate, an investment vehicle designed to improve capital access for startups and bridge the funding gap in Africa’s innovation ecosystem. In 2021, we established the Creative Economy Practice to drive the growth of Africa’s creative economy through innovation and technology application. In 2023, we further expanded our presence by opening Co-creation HUB in Windhoek, Namibia. These expansions have been intentional in contributing to our vision to be Africa's leading pan-African creative and innovation ecosystem enabler.

Since its establishment, CcHUB has supported the development and launch of more than 10,000 innovative technology companies solving social challenges across Africa in areas including budget transparency, agtech, education, fintech, healthcare delivery, creative economy and sustainability.

About the Africa Technology and Creative Group (ATCG)

The Africa Technology and Creative Group (ATCG) is a pan-African network dedicated to accelerating AfCFTA implementation for tech and creative sectors. Following our successful 2025 Convening in Abuja, we are now embarking on initiatives such as the Localisation-as-a-Service (LaaS) pilot, policy engagements, and membership expansion activities. To drive these efforts, we are seeking a highly organized, self-driven, and credible Coordinator to join our team.

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

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. Policy Liaison & Advocacy Support
    

   • Coordinate ATCG’s policy engagements with ministries and government agencies (e.g., IP Policy request, Blockchain & Space Strategy consultations).

   • Gather inputs from members to produce formal submissions or policy briefs that reflect the network’s collective interests.

4. Stakeholder & Partnership Management
    

   • Serve as the primary contact for external partners such as CcHUB, government ministries, investors, and media outlets.

   • Identify and cultivate new strategic partnerships (local and pan-African) to expand ATCG’s reach and impact.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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.

• 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.

• Familiarity with AfCFTA objectives, key players in Nigeria’s tech/creative ecosystem, and broader African innovation landscapes.

• 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.

• Tech-savvy: Comfort using productivity and project management tools (e.g., Trello, Asana, Slack, Google Workspace).

• Self-driven and proactive: Able to work independently while maintaining alignment with broader organizational goals.

• Based in Lagos, Nigeria 

Key Competencies

1. Strategic Thinker: Ability to see the bigger picture of how LaaS and other ATCG initiatives drive AfCFTA adoption in tech/creative sectors.

2. Operational Excellence: Skilled at setting up processes, managing timelines, and delivering on commitments.

3. Relationship Building: Capable of fostering trust among members, government representatives, partners, and the media.

4. Adaptability: Comfortable navigating a fast-paced, evolving environment with changing priorities.

5. Innovation and Problem-Solving: Proactive in identifying challenges and proposing creative solutions.
