Founding Program Architect & Community Builder at a Virtual Leadership Academy

We are a virtual leadership academy for African girls (ages 13–18) who are ready to discover their voice, build something real, and become women who lead. This is not reform. This is a replacement. We don’t fix broken systems - we raise girls to outlast them. Launching January 2026, our company is a 5-month experience rooted in cultural pride, confidence, and real-world project creation. Every girl leaves with a completed project, a mentor, and the proof that she can build a legacy right where she is. We are based in vision, built in soul, and committed to excellence.

We are recruiting to fill the position below:

Job Title: Founding Program Architect & Community Builder

Location: Ikeja, Lagos (Remote)
Employment Type: Full-time
Travel: Travel-Ready

Summary

• Our company is launching its first-ever cohort in January 2026, and we’re looking for the founding team member who will help make it real.
• This is for the woman who’s been waiting for a chance to build something sacred and scalable, from the ground up.

Your Role

• You will be the heartbeat of the launch.
• Not just running logistics, building infrastructure.
• Not just supporting the dream, but driving the initiative.

What You’ll Do
Lead Outreach & Community Building:

• Identify, pitch, and partner with schools, principals, teachers, youth organisations, and parents to recruit girls for the first cohort
• Represent Outlast at events, conferences, and in local communities
• Lead grassroots “Nominate a Girl” and mentor acquisition campaigns
• Build and maintain a growing database of aligned partners, mentors, and supporters

Design & Manage Program Infrastructure:

• Build the 5-month program calendar with clear weekly and monthly milestones
• Create student and mentor onboarding systems, SOPs, and templates
• Set up and manage all operational tools: Zoom, Airtable, Google Drive, WhatsApp groups
• Coordinate weekly mentor check-ins and student support logistics

Protect the Vision + Capture the Story:

• Document all key learnings, outcomes, challenges, and stories during the pilot
• Collect voice notes, testimonials, and student reflections for future campaigns
• Build the internal playbook so Outlast can scale with soul
• Track success metrics and work closely with Sandra to refine the experience

Who You Are

• A connector - you love people, pitch naturally, and make partnerships happen
• A builder - you’ve launched something before and know how to lead with imperfect clarity
• A systems thinker - you love process, progress tracking, and building order from vision
• A purpose-led powerhouse - you believe deeply in girls, voice, culture, and equity
• A self-led leader - you don’t wait for instructions, you show up with answers and initiative

Must-Haves:

• You’ve managed or launched a program, campaign, or initiative that helped people
• You’ve worked with youth, women, or mission-led organisations
• You’re fluent in Airtable, Google Suite, Zoom, and WhatsApp or learn fast
• You’re able to travel locally or internationally if needed
• You can pitch, partner, and project-manage sometimes all in the same day
• You have exceptional communication, relationship, and organisational skills

Do Not Apply If:

• You need everything built for you
• You get overwhelmed when things aren’t “figured out yet”
• You’re looking for a quiet, behind-the-scenes admin role
• You aren’t passionate about equity, African girls, or cultural legacy
• You’re allergic to follow-through or emotionally unavailable.

Monthly Pay
N200,000 - N250,000.
