About Tunga Academy

Tunga Academy is the learning and career growth arm of Tunga, a tech talent platform connecting African developers to global opportunities. We equip developers with the technical and soft skills they need to thrive in the global digital economy.

Our mission is simple: make African tech talent globally competitive. Through our practical, mentor-led programs, we help developers grow their skills, confidence, and careers.

About the Role

We’re looking for a young, energetic, and creative social media community manager to build and manage Tunga Academy’s online presence.

This person will be the voice and heartbeat of our brand across LinkedIn, Instagram, X (Twitter), and TikTok — creating engaging content, growing our audience organically, and driving course applications and enrollments.

If you’re creative, witty, and passionate about African tech and online learning, this is your stage.
