Digital Outreach & Partnerships Executive

About OurPalaver

OurPalaver.com is a fast-growing Nigerian community platform built for open discussions, bold opinions, and cultural conversations. We run monthly writing challenges and community campaigns with real cash prizes — and we're looking for someone to help us put them in front of the right audiences.

Role Overview

We are looking for a sharp, well-connected Digital Outreach & Partnerships Executive to drive visibility for ourPalaver through influencer relationships, brand collaborations, and targeted social media outreach.

This is an execution-first role — you will spend most of your time identifying the right accounts, building relationships, and securing placements that directly push our campaigns to new audiences.

You will work closely with our Marketing Manager on timing and strategy, but your core output is partnerships activated and campaigns promoted.

Key Responsibilities

Influencer & Creator Outreach

Identify and reach out to Nigerian influencers, content creators, and niche community pages across Instagram, TikTok, X (Twitter), and Facebook that align with our campaigns and audience.
Build and maintain a pipeline of creator relationships — from micro-influencers to mid-tier accounts.
Negotiate and coordinate sponsored posts, shoutouts, and collaborative content around our monthly challenges and terminals.

Campaign Promotion

Work with the Marketing Manager to receive campaign briefs and execute outreach for each ourPalaver challenge launch.
Ensure influencer content goes live in alignment with campaign timelines — submission windows, voting periods, and winner announcements.
Follow up with collaborators on performance and collect data on reach, clicks, and sign-ups driven.

Partnership Development

Identify Nigerian brands, platforms, media outlets, and communities whose audiences overlap with ourPalaver's and pitch mutually beneficial partnership opportunities.
Explore co-promotion, guest posting, and cross-community deals that grow our user base without solely relying on paid advertising.

Reporting

Track and report on all outreach activity — contacts made, deals closed, posts published, and estimated reach delivered per campaign.
Flag what's working and what isn't so we can refine our influencer strategy over time.

Qualifications & Skills

1–3 years of experience in influencer marketing, digital outreach, brand partnerships, or a similar role — ideally in the Nigerian or broader African digital space.
Active knowledge of the Nigerian social media landscape: who the creators are, which pages have real engagement, and where different audiences live online.
Strong written and verbal communication — you'll be pitching ourPalaver to people who have never heard of us, so you need to be persuasive and clear.
Organized and self-driven: capable of managing multiple outreach conversations and campaign timelines simultaneously.
Comfortable with outbound work — you're not waiting for partners to come to you.

Nice to Have

Existing relationships with Nigerian creators, community pages, or media outlets.
Experience promoting online platforms, challenges, or community-based campaigns.
Familiarity with tracking links and basic campaign performance metrics.
Understanding of NYSC/corper culture and Nigerian youth online communities.

Why OurPalaver?

Work on campaigns with real cultural relevance — our challenges generate genuine debate and content people actually share.
Build your influencer network while getting paid to do it.
Flexible, remote contract with room to grow as the platform scales.
Direct impact: the partnerships you close will show up in our sign-up numbers.
