Tatu City, a project of Rendeavour, Africa's largest urban land developer with over 30,000 acres of visionary projects in the growth trajectories of large cities in Kenya, Ghana, Nigeria, Zambia and Democratic Republic of Congo, is seeking a Content Production Assistant for a fixed-term contract. Rendeavour's vision goes beyond alleviating what is a self-evident problem - that of stifling urban congestion and a dearth of quality housing and commercial property in Africa. Rather, we aim to help create the infrastructure - the living and working spaces, communities, schools and hospitals - that will help sustain and accelerate Africa's economic growth, meet the aspirations of Africa's burgeoning middle classes, and serve as a catalyst for further urban development.
This is a full-time, contract position requiring a BA/BSc/HND qualification. The role is based in the Content, Editorial and Journalism field.
