Job Description

Azimu Group is a strategic advisory and research firm building equitable resilience against our era's greatest challenges. We partner with governments, institutions, and community organizations to navigate five interconnected global disruptors: automation, climate change, hyper-urbanization, pandemics, and wealth inequality.

Our work is rooted in a powerful belief: communities facing the greatest barriers deserve future-oriented solutions built with them, not for them. We combine rigorous research with deep community engagement using trauma-informed, culturally responsive approaches.

You'll join us at an exciting inflection point. We're a small but mighty team scaling our impact, and social media will be critical for reaching decision-makers, forming partnerships, and educating the public about challenges and solutions that will define the next 30 years. If you're energized by mission-driven work, love the creativity of social media, and want to contribute to something bigger than yourself, we want to hear from you.
