Head of Impact

We are looking for a Head of Impact to lead Zeraki’s effort to turn its scale into a force for educational transformation. Reporting to our CEO, you will make sure impact is deliberately designed into Zeraki’s core business; turn the knowledge, evidence and capabilities created through Zeraki’s reach into public goods; and mobilise governments, funders, researchers, companies and other partners around system-level education problems that no single organisation can solve alone. The role sits at the intersection of strategy, product, education, research and evidence, data, philanthropy and development finance, government and partnerships. It is not the owner of all impact at Zeraki — impact belongs to the whole company. You will own the architecture that makes Zeraki’s impact intentional, measurable, cumulative and larger than what our commercial business would produce on its own. What makes this role distinctive Very few impact roles begin with an asset like Zeraki’s: thousands of school relationships, millions of learners, teachers using recurring academic workflows, school leaders running financial processes, parents engaging through the platform and payments moving through it. You will not be asked merely to show that Zeraki is doing good. You will be asked what becomes possible for African education when trusted digital infrastructure already reaches the institutions, people, information and transactions through which education actually works. What You Will Do 01 Embed impact into Zeraki’s strategy and products Good looks like: teams stop saying “we built the product, now Impact should measure it” and start asking what improvement they are trying...
