ABOUT THE SECURE ENERGY PROJECT
The Secure Energy Project (SEP) in collaboration Vote for Climate Nigeria aims to fast-track and secure the transition to clean energy. We identify key obstacles and develop innovative, collaborative campaigns to address them. We bring together a wide range of allies, from grassroots organisations to international levels, to influence the narrative and politics surrounding energy.
The energy transition presents an opportunity to improve everything. It provides cheaper electricity, generates new jobs, cuts pollution, and connects communities that have long been overlooked. Yet, despite its many advantages, the shift away from fossil fuels remains slow and susceptible to misinformation and setbacks.
Now entering our third year, SEP is leading global communications efforts, coordinating campaign coalitions, and launching audience-led interventions in key countries. We’re helping the climate movement fight smarter, faster, and together.
ABOUT THE ROLE
The Campaign Project Coordinator will be based in Abuja and will oversee the coordination and implementation of SEP’s communications campaign and partnerships collaboration in Nigeria. The role demands strong networking and liaison skills to engage with a diverse range of stakeholders, including civil society organisations, community groups, youth movements, policymakers, media, and international partners.
This position focuses on making collaboration work by ensuring diverse actors can come together around shared goals, timelines, and deliverables to create real-world impact. The coordinator will also assist with monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of campaign activities, compile reports, and represent SEP in external engagements.
