- Partner development: Build strong relationships with universities, scholarship providers, NGOs, foundations, governments, and corporates, understanding their priorities and translating them into actionable work plans and clear messaging.

- New partnerships: Identify and support the creation of new partnerships, aligning Goodwall's value proposition with partner and customer needs to continually grow the business and member base.

- Program design: Leads the design of educational programs based on internal SOPs/playbooks, partner requirements, and domain expertise. Covers research, planning, design, and specification.

- Program P&L and performance: Oversee program P&L, track qualitative and quantitative performance metrics, troubleshoot issues in real time, and deliver end-of-program reports with full data analysis. Owns end-to-end delivery with rigour. Creates and maintains detailed program plans. Ensures milestones are tracked daily and deliverables meet quality standards.

- Stakeholder management: Organize and coordinate partner meetings and consultations, managing cross-functional collaboration to ensure successful project delivery.

- Internal coordination: Coordinate with product, growth, and operations teams to deliver on partner commitments, ensuring alignment between partner expectations and Goodwall's capacity to deliver.

- AI as a multiplier: Use AI tools, automations and agents to compound your output across drafting, research, briefing, summarising, partner reporting and internal coordination. Share what's working with the rest of the team so we all get faster together.

### What We Offer

- A Mission Driven company that you can be proud to be a part of.

- Unrivaled Exposure to leading Fortune 500 companies, governments, and other international organisations, including in person at events at the likes of UNGA or Davos.

- High growth and ownership environment as we double year on year in our impact and scale

- Impact at Scale: We accelerated over one million youth with AI Fluency skills in 2025 alone. You will be telling the story of the next ten million.

- A fast-moving environment working with an international team, where change is constant and creativity is celebrated.

- Competitive compensation, equity options, a flexible work environment with a high-energy, capable global team with offices in Cape Town, London, and Geneva.

**Live in the employer’s hiring system.** Read from the company's own applicant tracking system, not reposted from a job board — so it's a real, open requisition rather than an ad that outlived the role.

We remove it as soon as it disappears at source.
