Copywriter

Copywriter — era92 Creative

Kampala, Uganda (On-site) • Full-time

About era92 Creative

era92 Creative is not just another agency.

We are a nonprofit creative team based in Kampala, serving organizations that are solving real problems — from education and livelihoods to faith-based missions and community transformation.

We exist to amplify the voices of those changing the world.

Through bold storytelling, strategy, and design, we help nonprofits and social impact organizations communicate with clarity, raise more support, and move people to action.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Copywriter who is obsessed with clarity, meaning, and impact.

This is not a role for someone who just wants to “write content.”

This is for someone who wants their words tomove people, unlock funding, and tell stories that matter.

You will take complex ideas, raw stories, and half-formed briefs—and turn them into clear, compelling, emotionally resonant narratives across multiple platforms.

You’ll work across a range of nonprofit and social impact clients, shaping how they sound, how they tell their stories, and how the world responds to them.

What You’ll Do

• Write high-impact copy across formats:
• Websites, landing pages, and brand messaging
• Social media content and campaigns
• Email newsletters and donor appeals
• Video scripts and storytelling content
• Proposals, pitch decks, and reports
• Translate complex social impact work into clear, human, and compelling stories
• Develop and maintain distinct brand voices for multiple clients
• Collaborate closely with designers, videographers, and strategists to build integrated campaigns
• Turn insights and strategy into messaging that drives:
• Engagement
• Donations
• Trust
• Conduct research on client missions, audiences, and sectors to ensure depth and accuracy
• Edit and proofread to maintain a high editorial standard across all outputs
• Manage multiple projects and deliver consistently on deadlines
• Contribute to creative direction, campaign ideas, and storytelling approaches

What You Bring

• 2+ years of experience in copywriting, content creation, or communications
• (agency or nonprofit experience is a strong advantage)
• Exceptional writing and storytelling ability — you know how to make people feel and act
• Strong editing skills and attention to detail
• Ability to simplify complex ideas into clear, engaging language
• Curiosity and research ability — you don’t write shallow content
• A genuine passion for social impact, storytelling, and meaningful work
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment
• Strong communication skills — you can receive feedback, iterate quickly, and collaborate effectively
• Familiarity with tools like:
• Google Workspace
• Microsoft Office
• Adobe Creative Suite (especially InDesign is a plus)
• Social media platforms

Who This Is Perfect For

• You care deeply about purpose-driven work, not just creative output
• You want your writing to influence real-world outcomes
• You’re excited to work with nonprofits, ministries, and social enterprises
• You enjoy both creative storytelling and structured communication (like proposals and reports)
• You’re hungry to grow and sharpen your craft in a mission-driven environment

Why Join era92 Creative

• Work on projects that actually matter — not just brands, but missions
• Be part of a team building one of Africa’s leading social impact creative studios
• Collaborate with passionate creatives who care about craft and people
• Grow in a fast-moving environment with real responsibility and ownership
• Contribute to a larger mission of creating opportunities for young people across Africa
