About Masakhane
Masakhane is a pan-African initiative aimed at tackling the under-representation of African
languages in natural language processing (NLP) and AI. Our mission is to bring together
researchers, technologists, linguists, and community members from across the continent to

global growth of African NLP.

About Masakhane African Languages Hub
The Masakhane African Languages Hub (“the Hub”) is a new initiative to address the critical
underrepresentation and misrepresentation of African languages in artificial intelligence (AI).

Anchored by the Masakhane Research Foundation (MRF), the Hub will develop community-
centered open-source datasets, models, and use cases to catalyze innovation in sectors such as

healthcare, education, and agriculture. With a vision to unlock AI’s benefits for over 1 billion
Africans, the Hub fosters community-driven approaches and long-term, sustainable partnerships
across the African NLP ecosystem.
Our goal is to empower one billion Africans by 2029 with locally relevant AI tools and resources,
unlocking opportunities for economic development, local innovation, and the preservation of
Africa’s linguistic heritage.

We are committed to ongoing cultural evolution and seek candidates who are excited to contribute to an environment where both our results and our people continually improve.

Why this role matters

We are looking for a Campaign Manager to join our Communications and Advocacy Team. This is a hands-on role at the intersection of content, storytelling and advocacy. Translating complex insights and calls to action about private sector accountability into campaigns that reach our key audiences through earned and social media channels as well as influential voices, partners and convenings.

You will plan, coordinate, and deliver campaigns connected to our Planet topics and our new Integrated Transition Assessment. Covering themes like the phase-out of fossil fuels, credible corporate transition planning and biodiversity. Working closely with research, engagement, and communications, you will ensure our data and insights land with impact for business, media, and advocacy audiences. 

What you’ll bring

• Design and deliver campaign plans that build awareness and drive behaviour changes among stakeholders and business audiences — from initial planning through to execution and evaluation. 
• Manage campaign timelines and deliverables, coordinating across research, engagement, and communications teams to keep activities well-timed and on track. 
• Write and review campaign content across different formats and channels — adapting tone and complexity for each audience. 
• Track and evaluate campaign performance, drawing out lessons learned to continuously improve our approach. 
• Build and manage relationships with external partners to strengthen the visibility and reach of our campaigns. 
• Lead/support media relations activity: building journalist relationships, drafting press releases, handling enquiries, and proactively pitching stories that advance our advocacy goals. 
• Work closely with the Planet Programme team to shape how research outputs, benchmarks, and assessments are framed for external audiences — ensuring technical findings are translated into clear, compelling narratives. 
• Respond to fast-moving moments in the climate and corporate accountability space, adapting plans and spotting media moments quickly.
• Champion consistent application of our brand, messaging, and tone of voice across all external outputs. 

What we are looking for

• Four to six years’ experience running multi-channel, multi-stakeholder campaigns — ideally in a climate, sustainability, or corporate accountability context. 
• A strong understanding of the private sector’s role in driving climate and nature outcomes, and what it takes to shift corporate behaviour. 
• Proven ability and skills to develop and deliver advocacy and behaviour change campaigns from strategy to execution to evaluation.  
• A proactive and engaging relationship builder.

Salary Description

$18.40 per hour

Location: This is a remote role. Your colleagues will be based around the world with WBA’s HQ in Amsterdam. 

Contact type: 4 months fixed term freelance contract.

About WBA

The World Benchmarking Alliance (WBA) is an independent, non-profit organisation that measures how the most influential companies in the world impact people and planet. Our research is freely available so that, together, we can hold companies accountable for contributing to sustainable development. Our benchmarks and methodologies serve as a roadmap for companies to understand the changes they need to make to put our planet, society, and the economy on a more sustainable path. We support our Allies, UN agencies, governments, and other stakeholders in the broader corporate accountability ecosystem to understand how they can establish clear consequences for corporate inaction.  

WBA is a Teal-inspired organisation, intentionally shaping a distinctive organisational culture. Drawing on principles of Teal, Regenerative Leadership, and other inspirational leadership models. We are building a workplace where collaboration, trust, and personal growth are prioritised alongside high performance. We are committed to ongoing cultural evolution and seek candidates who are excited to contribute to an environment where both our results and our people continually improve.

Why This Role Matters

Banks, investors and insurers shape the transition of real economy companies through their financing and investment decisions. These decisions influence how companies respond to sustainability challenges that affect long-term business performance, as well as people and the planet. WBA’s data and insights are already widely used by financial institutions to inform these decisions. However, WBA’s assessments of financial institutions, published in May 2026, show that while there are encouraging signs of early progress, the finance sector has yet to make a systematic shift towards developing and implementing credible transition plans of its own.

By leveraging WBA’s data, insights and expertise, this role will enable WBA to identify strategic opportunities and build key relationships to create stronger incentives and clearer market signals that encourage financial institutions to develop and implement credible transition plans, ultimately accelerating the transition to a more sustainable economy.

The Opportunity

• You will produce a short internal scoping report covering a) the key levers to influence private Financial Institutions; b) the opportunities to collaborate with other organisations on this in 2027 (who and in what way) and over the longer term.
• You will enable WBA to strengthen relationships with key actors in this space, including globally systemic Asset Owners.
• You will use WBA’s recent assessments of Financial Institutions to identify and outreach to key organisations and initiatives that can already be using these insights.

What You’ll Bring

• At least 6 years relevant experience working with Financial Institutions (FIs) and/ or the finance ecosystem, with some experience working with or for a finance linked policy maker/ regulator.
• Preference for working experience, connections and/ or physical presence in a large capital market (e.g. London, New York, Singapore, Hong Kong)
• Ability to translate complex sustainability information making it relevant to finance focused audiences, independently leading meetings with FIs and those working in the finance industry.
• Excellent strategic and innovative thinking, and strong project management skills;
• Collaborative, thoughtful, and thrive in a fast paced, changing environment.

Reporting to: Head of Stakeholder and Policy Engagement

Quick Facts:

• Org headcount: 83
