Conduct SEO audits using both traditional and AI-assisted tools; implement best practices to increase organic traffic.
Analyze website performance using Google Analytics, heat-mapping tools and AI-driven analytics platforms, translating findings into actionable recommendations.
3. Social media & content marketing
Develop and execute social media content and engagement strategies, growing our digital community across LinkedIn, Instagram, X and emerging platforms.

WHO YOU ARE
You are a recent U.S. college graduate (December 2024 to May 2025) with a degree in marketing, communications, business or a related field. You have not waited around; you have been building. Whether through internships, side projects, a campus media outlet, a personal brand or freelance clients, you have hands-on experience in digital marketing and you know how the tools have changed.

Demonstrated experience with SEO, social media strategy, email marketing or paid media from coursework, internships or independent projects.
Fluency with AI tools as part of a marketing workflow. You know how to prompt well, edit critically and integrate AI output into high-quality deliverables.
Familiarity with platforms such as HubSpot, Google Analytics, Google Ads or LinkedIn Ads at any level of depth.
Strong writing and communication skills; you can adapt your voice to a brand and write for different audiences.
A data mindset; you look at numbers, ask questions and form a point of view.
Curiosity about Africa's private sector, emerging markets or global investment, you do not need to be an expert, but you need to want to learn.
Ability to work independently in a remote, cross-cultural, fast-moving environment.

Experience with video content, short-form social or multimedia storytelling.

ABOUT THE FELLOWSHIP
This is a full-time fellowship, and it is structured in two phases.
Phase 1 — Fellowship (months one through four): Fellows work embedded within the team, with direct mentorship from senior professionals across investment, marketing and communications. Real responsibility from day one, not a coffee-and-spreadsheet internship.
Phase 2 — Full-time employment (month five onward) : Fellows who demonstrate strong performance and mutual fit will be offered a paid, full-time position with Renew Capital. This is not a guaranteed conversation; it is earned. We are looking for someone who wants to build.
