Description 

• We are seeking a female camera-friendly presenter to host our vox pop and other presentations for our social media platforms. Our topics are overly focused on religion and its negative impact. The ideal candidate would be irreligious or someone capable of separating their religion from their job. This is a Lagos-based position; no remote or hybrid option.

• We run short videos for Twitter | Facebook | TikTok | and IG whilst we publish our films/docufilms/documentaries on YouTube. We intend to venture into other areas, thus giving you leverage to come up with organic ideas which, when approved, you can take charge of, so this is a place where you can do those things you always wanted.
• You will take charge of our voice-over on all our presentations on the different platforms. This is not a hybrid position, so office attendance is a must.
• Assessing leads and pitching captivating story ideas to editors.
• Reviewing and editing work for editorial approval.
• Misuse of the English language, e.g., (I'm/I am for "Am", You for "U", The for "D", You are for "Your" or any of those will get you fired instantaneously)
• Be confident in front of the camera / Be a camera person
• Be flexible (We are a social media company, so we can't abandon work just because it is out of bounds of your working hours)
