Why Join Us?
Join Project Yananai and be part of something bigger than a role. As a growing, purpose-driven organisation working across multiple countries, we offer the opportunity to shape meaningful change while developing your career, skills and experience.

Here, your voice matters. Your ideas help shape direction, and your work delivers visible, real-world impact. You’ll collaborate with a diverse, global team, gain exposure to strategic initiatives, and grow through hands-on experience in a dynamic, evolving environment.

We recognise the importance of flexibility. Our approach to working hours supports you to contribute in a way that works alongside your personal and professional commitments, within a collaborative and outcome-focused environment.

If you are motivated by purpose, energised by pace, and want to contribute to something truly meaningful, we’d love to hear from you!

Shape Our Voice. Tell Our Story. Drive Global Impact.

Project Yananai is seeking an exceptional, hands‑on communications leader to join our Global Executive Leadership Team as Director of Communications. This is a rare opportunity to build and execute a global communications strategy from the ground up—developing compelling materials, managing digital platforms, and directly crafting the messages that will secure partnerships, inspire donors, and amplify the stories of communities we serve.

If you are a strategic thinker who is equally comfortable writing a high‑value funding proposal, designing a donor newsletter, and managing a social media campaign—and you thrive in a mission‑driven, fast‑paced environment—this role offers you the platform to shape the voice of a high‑performing global nonprofit.

Our integrated Theory of Change - the Project Yananai Ecosystem - brings together three core activities that work synergistically to create lasting impact: Family Foundations, Sustainable Skills Development, Relief Operations.

This is an opportunity to join a collegial group of highly skilled, specialised, and experienced professionals - each a leader in their respective domain - who are collectively committed to building a high‑performing global nonprofit that meets the highest standards of governance, impact measurement, and operational excellence.

You will ensure that our brand, our story, and our impact are communicated with clarity, consistency, and creativity across all channels - from donor communications and funding proposals to social media, press relations, and internal team updates.

This is not a purely strategic role; you will be expected to lead by doing. You will draft high‑value communications materials yourself, manage digital platforms, and produce content that resonates with diverse audiences - donors, partners, governments, and the communities we serve. You will work closely with the Chief Advancement Officer, the Director of Strategic Partnerships, Director of Funding, the Deputy Chief Advancement Officer, and National Management Teams to ensure that our communications are aligned with fundraising priorities and partnership objectives.

Key Responsibilities

• Oversee the organisation’s digital presence, including the website, social media channels, and email marketing platforms (e.g., Mailchimp, Salesforce Marketing Cloud).
• Manage and optimise content management systems, ensuring that the website is up‑to‑date, user‑friendly, and aligned with SEO best practices.
• Use analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics, social media insights) to monitor performance, measure engagement, and inform strategy.

Donor & Partner Communications

• Work closely with the Advancement team to develop compelling communications that support fundraising, partnership development, and donor stewardship.
• Lead the production of high‑quality donor reports, proposals, and pitch decks that articulate impact and build trust.
• Ensure that all donor‑facing materials are consistent, professional, and aligned with regulatory requirements (including Fundraising Regulator standards).

Local applications cannot be considered for this international framework.

Ready to step out of your comfort zone, travel with true purpose, and change young lives? Join our close-knit team in beautiful Ghana to inspire eager students, bridge vital educational gaps, and experience an unforgettable cultural immersion.

At SFLIG Volunteers, we don't believe in standard, sterile office jobs—we believe in human connection.

• The Co-Pilot: Work hand-in-hand with local headteachers to make core subjects like English conversation, basic Mathematics, and General Sciences come alive through interactive games and discussions.

• The Creative Spark: Bring your own hobbies across the globe! Whether you love drawing, music, painting, or sports, you will design and lead engaging workshops that build child confidence and creativity.

• The Mentor: Provide crucial, patient one-on-one reading and arithmetic support to bright children who have fallen behind and just need someone to believe in them.

Who You Are

We care far more about your heart, your drive, and your empathy than a piece of paper. You are the perfect fit if:

• You have a deep-seated desire to travel, explore new cultures respectfully, and give back to grassroots communities.

• You are patient, highly adaptable, and ready to embrace a vibrant, slow-paced, and welcoming new environment.

• No formal teaching qualifications or TEFL certificates are required. We provide all the training and tools; you just need to bring the enthusiasm!

We treat our international volunteers like family from the moment they apply:

• Total Support Network: From your comprehensive pre-departure prep to airport pickup and local orientation, our dedicated team guides you every step of the way.
