Production and Digital Manager

About this role

Girl Effect, the international non-profit that builds media for girls across Africa and Asia, is recruiting an individual consultant as Production and Digital Manager for a six-month maternity cover in Tanzania. The consultant will manage all content production for Tujibebe, Girl Effect's youth brand in Tanzania, keeping output running across community radio, social media and printed information materials. Roughly 70 per cent of the assignment is production management. The consultant leads end-to-end production of Tujibebe audio products and community radio content, from planning and scripting support through recording, post-production and quality assurance.

It also covers coordination of shoots, events and workshops, including scheduling, logistics, call sheets and safeguarding and consent processes. The consultant finds, briefs, contracts and manages creative crew, freelancers and agencies, maintains an accurate production calendar, owns production budgets and reconciliations, and enforces brand, editorial and safeguarding standards before release. About 20 per cent of the time goes to maintaining Tujibebe's IVR and social platforms under existing content plans, writing and signing off social copy, articles and SMS blasts, and reporting on basic channel performance. The remaining time covers structured handover and coordination across Girl Effect's matrix structure, reporting to the Creative Director, Girl Effect Tanzania.

Applicants need around three to five years of content production experience delivering audio, video or broadcast work to schedule and budget, hands-on knowledge of every production stage, experience managing production partners and creative teams, strong planning and budget skills, and fluency in Kiswahili and English. Experience producing content for young people, particularly girls, or on health and social topics with safeguarding and informed consent practice is desirable. This is a full-time consultancy of about 40 hours per week based in Dar es Salaam, with travel as required, starting December 2026 and paid a fixed monthly fee in Tanzanian shillings.
