Job Objectives
Generation is a global non‑profit that transforms lives through employment. The Global Employer Partnerships team creates hiring solutions that connect our training graduates to jobs, while helping Generation grow its impact in a sustainable way.
Our key projects include:
- The Digital Talent Hub: project‑based and team‑based digital talent solutions
- A global Impact Hiring service: placing entry‑level and experienced alumni into permanent roles.
2026 is a critical transition year as we move from experimentation to repeatable demand generation, with a view to scaling in 2027 (including expansion to Latin America).
To support this, we are engaging a Growth & B2B Marketing Manager to design, test, and validate our business development approach. This is not a brand marketing role, nor a content‑only role.
This is a commercial growth role.
You will define who we sell to, why they buy, how we reach them, and what “good” looks like across funnel performance, working closely with employer engagement, operations, and talent teams.
Your success will be measured by qualified employer demand, pipeline contribution, and validated go‑to‑market models across Africa, Europe, and future LatAm expansion.
You will operate as a core member of the Global Employer Partnerships team for the duration of the contract.
This is a 6‑month fixed term employee role with a duration until the end of this year.
Responsibilities
1) Offer and customer definition
- Lead ICP and buyer persona definition
- Use case (projects vs teams vs permanent hires)
- Buying triggers (growth, cost pressure, skills gaps, ESG goals)
We want to gain clear priority segments, buyers, and value propositions we actively say yes to.
2) Building a repeatable B2B growth engine
You will design and run a test–learn–scale growth system, including:
- Demand generation strategy (inbound + outbound + partnerships)
- Funnel design from first touch → consultation → placement
- LinkedIn (organic + paid)
- Founder / leader‑led marketing
- Partnerships & ecosystem referrals
- Events, webinars, and strategic content
We will see an uptick in employer partnerships and project clients from your efforts and impact.
3) Messaging & Commercial Storytelling
- Translate a complex, evolving offer into:
- Clear differentiation vs traditional recruiters, BPOs, and staffing firms
- Create or oversee:
- Website and landing page copy
- Ensure consistency across Digital Talent Hub and Experienced Hire offers
We will have clear messaging and increase brand awareness via your strategies.
4) Partner deeply with Strategic Management, Business Development teams & Operations
You will be part of the revenue engine, which furthers our social impact mission and helps us to become more sustainable as a non‑profit.
You will:
- Work side‑by‑side with business development leads to:
- Refine pitches based on market feedback
- Improve lead quality and close rates
- Create opportunities and convert business
- Help operational teams:
- Stress‑test offers against real demand
- Identify where supply and market readiness misalign
You will create marketing approaches that drive opportunity, instigating and building relationships with our desired network.
