Community Manager - Africa App Professionals Hub

About the role

• Astria Learning is building the leading community and knowledge hub for app professionals across Africa.
• As our Community Manager, you will be the driving force behind the Ecampus HUB — a fast-growing space where developers, founders, and digital creators connect, learn, and grow together.
• Based in Malawi and operating across key markets including Nigeria and Ghana, you will own the full community lifecycle: from welcoming the first-ever member to architecting the structures that support hundreds of thousands.
• This is a hands-on, high-impact role for someone who loves people, understands the African tech ecosystem, and is energised by ambitious growth targets.

What you'll do
Community management:

• Run the day-to-day life of the Ecampus HUB: moderation, engagement, member support, and content flow.
• Design and maintain the Master Community architecture: sub-groups, channels, and local chapters.
• Own the onboarding experience: create clear application instructions and ensure every new member feels welcomed and set up for success.

Growth and partnerships:

• Identify, recruit, and coordinate influencers and local ambassadors to drive awareness, sign-ups, and sustained engagement.
• Support and execute growth campaigns across Nigeria, Ghana, and Malawi.

Events and content:

• Plan and host regular webinars and community sessions featuring industry experts.
• Conduct interviews with app professionals, founders, and community members for content and knowledge-sharing purposes.
• Build and curate a living library of African app professionals: profiles, areas of expertise, and success stories.

Reporting and targets:

• Track and report on key community metrics, working toward agreed quarterly targets.
• Key milestones: 500,000 members within the first 6 months; 1,000,000 members by month 12.

What we're looking for

• 2+ years of experience in community management, social media management, or a closely related field.
• Strong, demonstrable knowledge of the local tech and creator ecosystem in Africa.
• Proven track record of working with influencers and delivering online events or webinars.
• Comfortable setting and chasing growth targets; confident using data to inform decisions and report progress.
• A self-starter who can work independently, prioritise effectively, and move quickly.

Nice to have:

• An existing network among app professionals, developers, or digital creators across Africa.
• Experience scaling online communities to 100,000+ members.
