We’re building the leadership team of Krodua — and we’re looking for founding leaders.
Krodua is evolving from a publishing agency into a broader African literary ecosystem that includes publishing, digital reading, creative education, literary residencies, festivals, and cultural partnerships. As we enter our next phase of growth, we’re recruiting three Volunteer Business Unit Leads who want to help build a long-term institution for African stories and creative talent.
These are remote, part-time volunteer leadership roles (8–10 hours per week) for an initial 6-month term, reporting to our Interim Chief Operating Officer, Kezia Adrah Agbenyega.
Open Leadership Roles
Head of Publishing
- Lead Krodua’s publishing operations across books, memoirs, and scripts.
- Coordinate editorial workflows, production timelines, and author support.
- Build and lead a volunteer publishing team of 3–4 contributors.
Head of Digital Library & Platform
- Lead the growth of library.krodua.com and our digital reading ecosystem.
- Oversee author onboarding, content organization, reader engagement, and platform development.
- Build and lead a volunteer digital library team of 2–4 contributors.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Head of Education, Foundation & Creative Programs
- Lead the Young Creatives Academy, writing workshops, literary residency, festival planning, and partnership development.
- Coordinate educational programming, fundraising support, cultural partnerships, and volunteer engagement.
- Build and lead a volunteer programs team of 3–4 contributors.
Who We’re Looking For
We’re looking for experienced professionals in publishing, editing, digital media, libraries, education, arts administration, nonprofit management, partnerships, events, or the creative industries who are excited by the idea of building something meaningful from the ground up.
These are not internship roles. They are leadership appointments for people who want ownership, visibility, and the opportunity to shape a growing African creative institution.
