How to Apply for Global Content & Engagement Manager

at New Energy Nexus

🏢 About New Energy Nexus

New Energy Nexus is a unique international NGO laser-focused on supporting clean energy entrepreneurs worldwide. With a track record of leveraging $5.4 billion in investment and supporting over 11,000 entrepreneurs, NEX offers a chance to work at the intersection of climate action and storytelling, directly amplifying the most promising climate solutions across global markets.

About This Role

This role puts you in the driver's seat of NEX's global digital channels, including LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and email, with strategic ownership over editorial direction and audience growth. You'll craft and produce stories of clean energy entrepreneurs, collaborating with chapter teams to surface impactful content, while working alongside a Marketing Manager and Design Strategist to scale engagement and conversion.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start by reviewing analytics from the previous day's social posts and email sends, then drafting a LinkedIn story about a Kenyan solar entrepreneur with input from the Africa chapter lead. After a midday sync with the Marketing Manager on an upcoming campaign, you'd edit a video interview for YouTube, and end the day by planning the weekly content calendar with the Design Strategist.
