Marketing Coordinator

  • Remote / Hybrid (Nigeria preferred)
  • Reports To: Marketing Lead
  • N250,000 - N400,000 (experience based)

Role Overview

The Marketing Coordinator is the creative engine of Nobellum's marketing team. This role owns everything visual and social, from designing graphics and editing videos to newsletters and writing blog content that positions Nobellum as a thought leader in Black STEMM innovation.

You are a storyteller at heart. You understand how to take Nobellum's mission and translate it into content that stops the scroll, builds community, and drives action. The Marketing Coordinator owns the channels, strategies, and communications that drive awareness, engagement, and reach at a deeper level through email, search, executive visibility, and relationship-driven marketing.

You are a skilled communicator and strategic thinker. You understand how to write a newsletter that gets opened, how to build an SEO strategy that compounds over time, and how to position a CEO as a thought leader without it feeling manufactured. You are organised, data-driven, and deeply invested in the mission of advancing Black innovation in STEMM.
