We Found A Role Based Entirely In Africa This Week

Most "remote" roles you see floating around are companies based in San Francisco or London who happen to allow remote work. Today we found two roles that are the opposite — companies built FOR Nigeria and Kenya, hiring people who already live there. No convincing a hiring manager that your timezone works. No explaining where Accra is. They already know.

Alongside that, we've got the usual mix — an EA role working directly with a founder, a hands-on virtual assistant role for someone building real skills, and a customer support role at a company that pays the same salary no matter where you live.

Six roles. Let's go through them. 👇

This one sits right at the intersection of strategy and customer experience. You'd be helping subscription e-commerce brands improve customer lifetime value and cut churn — building lifecycle marketing programs that directly move revenue. It's client-facing, data-heavy, and fast-paced. If you've got CRM or retention marketing experience and want to work with multiple client accounts at once, this is worth a proper look.

A genuinely structured role — you'd manage multiple local SEO campaigns at once for small and medium businesses, using established tools and processes. This isn't a "figure it out yourself" kind of job. It's high-volume, organised, and ideal if you like project management work with a clear SEO angle. Good fit if you've touched WordPress, Google Business Profile, or citation management before.

This one's for someone early in their VA journey but technically minded. You'd be supporting a UK-based entrepreneur and coach who is about to launch a personal brand website, a book, and a course — and she needs someone to build the entire digital backbone. WordPress, email systems, course platforms. Real ownership, not busywork.

Still one of the most interesting EA roles we've ever featured. You'd work directly with the founder of WordPress.com, WooCommerce, and Tumblr — triaging priorities, managing communications, making the chaos look effortless. They call the role a "Wrangler" internally, which tells you everything about the pace.

The salary here is genuinely global, meaning the number above is what you'd earn whether you're in Accra or Amsterdam. You'd be solving real customer problems across WordPress.com and WooCommerce, writing documentation, and shaping the product based on what you hear. Automattic puts every new hire through support first, no exceptions — so this role is taken seriously internally.

Alpaca builds brokerage infrastructure used across 40+ countries and 9 million accounts — some genuinely big financial institutions rely on them. As CSM you'd manage a portfolio of enterprise clients and own their long-term success. You'll want 2+ years in CS or account management to be a strong fit here.

💡 Skill of the Week

Stop listing tools. Start showing results. "Proficient in Salesforce" tells a hiring manager nothing. "Used Salesforce to manage a pipeline of 120+ accounts and reduce churn by 18%" tells them everything. Go through your CV today and find every tool you've listed — for each one, add the result you achieved using it.

🛠 Tool of the Week: Canva (free)

Your CV design matters more than people think, especially when hiring managers are skimming on screen. Canva's free templates are clean and professional — just export as PDF with no tables or text boxes so ATS software can actually read it. canva.com

Honestly, that first role this week — built for Nigeria, not just "open to Nigeria" — is the kind of thing we want to find more of. If you know someone in lifecycle marketing or SEO project management, send them this issue.

See you next Tuesday.
