EIDU Education Officers (Nigeria)

Temporary, Full-time · EIDU Nigeria

About Us

We believe that all children should be given the chance to reach their full potential. However, more than 600 million children in the world do not achieve foundational skills like literacy and basic numeracy – despite the majority of them going to school. 

At EIDU, we are creating the next-generation EdTech platform for children who lack access to high quality education that all children deserve. We currently serve nearly 400,000 students in Kenya, and are aiming to serve tens of millions within the next few years. External researchers conducted a year-long randomised control trial, midline results indicate that having EIDU in schools adds the equivalent of at least 0.8 years of learning development. We also have fascinating projects with leading technology companies to further enhance learning outcomes through AI. 

EIDU is funded by well-known development agencies, foundations, and impact investors and we are about to scale our programs rapidly through partnerships with governments.

With a mission like EIDU’s, diversity of thought and background within our team is crucial. We value those who can bring a diverse perspective to our platform and help us provide high-quality education to as many children as we can across the globe.

About the role

Who you are:

  • A Collaborative leader with strong relationship building and stakeholder management skills.
