Chief of Marketing (Cofounder-Level)

Profit-Sharing Model (Not a Salaried Position)

About the Program 

The German for Girls in Tech initiative empowers women and girls across Africa who are skilled in tech by equipping them with essential German language skills and connecting them to job opportunities in Germany and other German-speaking regions.

Role Overview 

We’re seeking a strategic, hands-on Chief of Marketing with an entrepreneurial mindset—someone who can take full ownership of our marketing efforts while building and scaling systems from the ground up. You should be able to automate processes and leverage AI to maximize efficiency and impact. As an early team member in a cofounder-level role, you’ll lead the development and execution of marketing, social media, email outreach, and event strategies that drive engagement, partnerships, and program growth.

This is not a traditional job—it’s a mission-driven opportunity for a self-starter who thrives in fast-moving environments, takes initiative, and wants to make a measurable difference in the lives of African women in tech. Your compensation will be based on a profit-sharing model, meaning your success grows alongside the initiative’s impact.
