ABOUT ALU

ALU provides higher education for a higher purpose. Our students declare missions, not majors.
They develop the real-world skills to take on the world’s most pressing challenges. And they take ownership of their learning from day one through our peer and student-led approach – because ALU believes in the power and agency of young people to start shaping the future right now.
Together with a world-class faculty and staff, our students are igniting a ripple of positive impact across Africa and the world.

HOW WE WORK

The ALU Team works in starkly different ways to traditional academic bureaucracies. We approach education from first principles, empower individuals to design, test, and implement creative new ideas, and work closely together to craft transformative learning experiences. We are deeply passionate about our students and excited by the challenge of building something entirely new.

The African Leadership University is committed to ensuring the safety and Well-being of all students under our care. As part of this commitment , we have a comprehensive safeguarding policy in place , which outlines our Zero-tolerance approach to any violation of safeguarding.

ABOUT THE TEAM

Given that the team at the School of Wildlife Conservation (SOWC) is small, each team member has a clearly designated role, but we do expect all team members to multitask and mutually support other members of the team as needed (and within reason) across the functions of the School. The team is led by an Executive Director and is focused on the following key areas:

  • Delivery of educational support and the “conservation ecosystem” to the Undergraduate School of ALU
  • Delivery of the conservation specialisation to the ALU MBA program
  • Development and delivery of professional development courses to the African conservation sector
  • Research and thought leadership into the Wildlife Economy of Africa
  • Coordination of all SOWC operations
  • Development and delivery of the annual Business of Conservation Conference (BCC)

ABOUT THE ROLE

Reporting to the Manager, Professional Development and Consultancy, will help position SOWC as a trusted partner to conservation organisations, governments, NGOs, donors, and private sector actors across Africa.
